We still plant with a 6 row, 30". The most advanced electronic thing we have is a Cruizer II in the sprayer tractor. Every operation here could be done without any electric at all. The sprayer would take a few modifications, but could be done. Half the tractors could be started rolling down a hill. The others would need an air or spring starter.

I used to work with a guy that was convinced that the sun was going to send out solar flares that would wipe out the satellites orbiting the earth and cause EMP issues on the surface of the planet. He also had the whole scenario figured out of the end if mankind as we know it would cease to exist. Part of his scenario was the lack of growing food to feed the world because of so many farmers would be out of business with out modern electronics and plain electricity.

I've had dreams of building and armageddon truck ever since watching the movie "the day after" in school when it came out. My truck will be running after an EMP with no problem.

How many on here could farm if electronics were suddenly useless?
