Solar Storm 'Extremely Compromises' Farming GPS During Critical Season
May 12, 2024, 06:06 PM
A recent solar storm has severely disrupted GPS systems used in agriculture, particularly affecting farmers during a critical planting period. The storm, which also brought the aurora borealis to large parts of the U.S., has "extremely compromised" the accuracy of GPS navigation systems crucial for modern farming techniques, according to text messages obtained by 404 Media. This has led some farmers to halt planting operations altogether, as reported by a Deere dealer and various media outlets.
