Combine Sharing
I was thinking about the way we do things in our civilisation. It costs farmers a lot of money to finance equipment that sits idle most of the year. Big Agribiz makes sure they're planters and combines get used as much as possible, starting in the south and moving northward for planting and harvesting as the seasons for them start later as you move north. I was thinking, gee I wonder if independant farmers are able to do this so I googled "combine sharing" and it turns out that there is a whole new organization called MachineryLink that sprung up a few years ago centered around that idea. I think its a great idea, and I hope it continues to succeed.
