They only seem popular on high subsidy farms.

Yeah I don't know how anyone could compel themselves to buy one. Do they really have that much of a monopoly on the industry? Is their tech that much further advanced? I genuinely don't know.

What is the best, more ethical alternative? Growing up my dad had New Holland and we liked them. Eventually I'll be going more rural and choosing a route to take and it sure as shit won't be John Deere.

One? Probably not. A fleet of 5-20 to tend a thousand or more acres, I can see that. They've basically got the things able to run on autopilot for many processes
