well graham, that depends on the field. As applies to iowa
unirrigated corn fiends, you are quite correct. as applies to
california circle irrigated cropland, it would be a pretty small
investment on top of the extant irrigation system. So.... Figure 20%
of agricultural diesel could be replaced with electric, not a bad
chunk to dig in 1 go.

Are you seriously suggesting that tractors drag a cable round the field behind
them ?
