While the future role of autonomous power supply systems is likely to expand, the total contribution to agricultural mechanization energy is likely to be of modest proportion. In other words, farms of the future will depend primarily on a purchased energy supply (i.e. diesel fuel or renewable substitute/extender, and electricity) to which autonomous power may make a valuable but small contribution to those farmers who wish to pursue the available options.
Precision farming applications promise to conserve energy and reduce agricultural inputs but much remains to be done before these claims can be sustained and the technology commercialized at an affordable price to the farmer. Further exciting developments in farm machinery are under way with particular emphasis on communications and information technology applications.
