·1 min
Deere & Company, the world’s largest tractor maker, has announced an agreement with SpaceX to provide high-speed satellite internet to farmers in the US and Brazil. The partnership will utilize the Starlink network to help farmers overcome connectivity challenges and utilize precision agriculture technologies. This initiative aims to enhance productivity, profitability, and sustainability in farming operations. The collaboration will enable John Deere customers to connect with high-speed internet through Starlink-equipped machines. The value of connectivity for farmers is significant, as it unlocks various opportunities. The FCC’s recent decision to reject broadband subsidies for Starlink has caused disappointment and confusion for SpaceX. The regulatory actions against Elon Musk’s companies have been perceived as targeted harassment.
