Agriculture is so mechanized at this point, that a serious cut in gasoline supplies could make it impossible for farmers to plant and bring in their crops.

Electric tractors seem like a no brainer. You have no distribution network issues, because you don't have to worry about finding a station to plug in at.

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
