On: Software fees to make up 10% of John Deere's revenues by 2030

I mean, they can have ROI, but if having one saves you 90K a year and they cost 89k a year is that really the optimal way to structure society?

So saves me 1k a year? I don't think farmers are converting their equipment to John Deere for such a paltry improvement.

But if it does truly net me 90K additional profit (and thus the gross improvement is 179k, half of which is spent on the capital to make that improvement), then yes, that looks optimal.
