I've written harvest inventory software for a couple of custom harvesting outfits. Their business model is they buy crops in the field or charge to do custom harvesting. Usually the former. I've not been onsite for one outfit but the other is close to home so I visit from time to time. The amount of equipment they have is amazing. Millions of dollars of very large equipment. They load it up and truck it around between multiple states to harvest. Point being, sometimes farmers have little or minimal equipment. They might even contract planting, spraying etc. and sell crops directly in the field. Or they might plant and cultivate but not harvest. That certainly makes this kind of thing more affordable as it ultimately spreads the cost between many farmers (with the company that owns the equipment taking a cut of course).
