The article is from two days ago. Here's another article saying the satellite is at least partially back online? I don't know if that helps farmers, though.
> Inmarsat’s aircraft safety and other L-band satcom services for the Asia-Pacific region are operable again, following an outage of the firm’s I-4 F1 satellite which forced operators to switch to high frequency (HF) radio. The news comes as a relief to operators, pilots, aviation enthusiasts and tech-savvy flyers.
> London-based Inmarsat explains in a fresh update today that the L-band satellite “suffered a partial loss of power” which invoked automatic procedures on the satellite that led to the suspension of services for East Asia and the Pacific region starting at 21.14 UTC on Sunday 16 April.
