Funny… last I heard, farm equipment was going electric in a serious way.

Not all rural vehicles need to be long-haul.

And unless you need to go like 4 hours between possible stops EVs can long-hual. Even in the road-having parts of the North that's not usually the situation, which is it sounds like the point of this article, which I will now read.

Not really, there's a few manufacturers but none of the big ones have made a serious push for it. Farmers are extremely conservative and wary of things they can't repair themselves, there's a reason why you still see them using 70s and 80s tractors on the daily and they're still able to repair them.
