Primary power sources are many and varied including solar, wind, hydroenergy and geothermal, which may be used to power stationery equipment (wind, hydroenergy), to provide heating or cooling (solar, geothermal) or to generate electricity (wind, hydroenergy) to service a multiplicity of on-farm activities (see also, Energy Sources: Renewable and Non Renewable).
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.
