By thursday.... i'll have 2 internet connections... BOTH extreme highspeed... one Cable the other DSL... and they will not be running seperately because i purchased a router in which is can balance trafic across both.... or find the connection that can provide the best overall Pings and rated speeds...
mmm......
AND 28.8kb connection at the lake....

Cell phones..... why would farmers need it?
ERM, wouldn't you think that cell phones would be one thing that farmers would really want? C'Mon, doesn't get any more rediculious then that.. lol

it's extremely hard to get a tractor stuck..... and if you do.... it's freaking scary.... specially if they start sinking... (REALLY not good)
If a tractor runs out of Fuel (correction, GAS is not something you want in a tractor..... enless it's a Gas Combustion engine  ) it's pretty annoying to prime the entire fuel lines.... (usually everyone keeps them above 1/4 tank..... hills tend to be one reason)
Keep in touch.... erm... no.... usually it's phone for parts.... when super will be available.. IF it's being brought out to the field.... if so and so can come out and move equipment..... etc.
Statistically, Farmers are on the phone more often then majority of the Urban dwellers .... to a factor of nearly 3 times longer....
ATM, I beleive Semi drivers are on the phone nearly 20x more then farmers..... interesting?
