Poster makes a great point about what SV doesn't get about farmers, but there is a huge range of things farmers do get about SV that are not obvious to many people who don't know farms or farmers very well. I used to be CEO of a venture backed agriculture startup, and we learned pretty quickly that the hacker mentality applies very well to supporting farmers. Internally, we talked about providing farmers something like an SDK for the automation tools we were selling, where they could mod it to their own situation. In most cases, skills from soldering to metal work to carpentry were not only realistic to expect, but complete shops with air tools, etc. were usually present and often complete machine shops with CNC and 3d printers.
