American agriculture is now such a skills and systems-intensive field, college grads aren't prepared to work therehttps://www.marketplace.org/2016/10/10/education/ffa-continues-grow-even-farms-disappear …
That's really a load of bs. Anyone who works on these machines can make them run without any semiconductors.

ahhh not true really. I won't say a new john deere cant be reverse engineered, but you're gonna need a chip.

I see no reason you can't just bypass the electronics & wire power directly to actuators w/mech switches.

Main exception is fuel injection but you can modify it to use more primitive methods at cost of fuel economy.
-
i was definitely thinking about fuel injection. Its a big overhaul no matter how you think about it.
-
Yeah, but in the big scheme of what you'd have to do in that type of scenario, it's a lesser concern imo.
-
Breakdown of human systems is a lot harder to overhaul than fuel injection for an engine.

I don't know about huge-scale industrial farms, but the equipment used on smaller farms is dead simple.
-
even smaller gear has ignition chips & fuel injection these days great mechanics could retrofit points & carburetors but it reqs srs fabbing
