Topping the list this month were two “From the Virtual Terminal” items, one on the new-to-North America diesel-electric farm tractor that will be available for sale in the last quarter of 2018 and another on the news of the potential mega-merger between Bayer and Monsanto and how that is heightening the debate over how farm data is collected and manipulated by companies.
