Friday Night Fun: When Tractors Go Awol

An unusual report appeared on a space weather site this week.

It read as follows:

FARMERS, DID YOUR TRACTORS JUST GO CRAZY? Many modern farmers use GPS-guided tractors to plant and tend their crops. Last weekend, some of them veered off course. We’ve received a report of “dancing tractors” on Easter Sunday (April 20, 2025) apparently due to unusual GPS errors. The same thing happened on hundreds of farms last May during a severe geomagnetic storm. However, there was no geomagnetic storm on April 20, 2025, so we’re looking for confirmation.

I’d file this event under this Tarot card…

The Moon: Deeper forces at play

Do you get impacted by space weather?
