I think this could also be accomplished by stringing a grid of wires over
the field, and using a trolley that rides on the wires.
That's certainly possible -- the "trolly tractor" was last summer's
idea -- but requires a lot of wire. It's actually cheaper to use a
battery.
It's not as simple
as a locomotive or streetcar, where a single hot wire can bu used, and the
return current through the tracks. But I think a system could be devised to
provide electricity to a tractor by means of a controlled tether. It could
definitely be done with a set of tracks that would move the supply line to
be in-line with the movement of the tractor, and then have a trolley with a
power cord that supplies the tractor. It would involve some engineering,
initial investment, and maintenance, but should be about 95% efficient for
energy conversion.
Another option is to eliminate the tractor altogether and drag the
plow and other impliments off of a "super pivot," the common "crop
circle" irrigation structure beefed up for the heavier load.
The impliments would move inward for a spiral furrow.
Um, you might reconsider any plans you have to be a farmer.
Using crutch words like "you know" or noises like "um" is bad enough
in speech. It text it is even worse, a sure sign of a nobody with
nothing to say.

Being that this is an electronics group, you might, umm, consider
saying something about electronics.
