So I am playing on Polesie (absolutely charming lil map btw, if you are into tiny lil maps like am you should give it a try.. sadly its pc only 
).. I am a single small tractor (no combines) spud farmer on the hardest settings I can drum up without conflicts and I am barely keeping my head above water.. Spuds dont bring in much to begin with and add in farm expenses and overhead and no loans or contracts and yea.. my only chance is to increase my yield.. the only way to do that is to gather field data.. the equipment required to do this is $17,000!!! Sure, to a larger farm it may not be much but its gonna take me a couple decades (in-game) worth of harvests to even be able to afford it.. even the leasing cost is pretty extreme for my lil farm at $867.. I literally need to take and send 1 sample.. I was scratching my head like "wow this dealership is pretty harsh towards a loyal customer and member of such a small community".. I dont think it would be like this IRL if you were fortunate enough to have a dealership in such a small area.. I also knew I couldn't be the only one having this kind of issue.. but how do you fix it without feeling like a cheat.. I am certainly not going to magic this thing onto my farm and the local dealer goes by the name Honest Jim and says things like "don't worry, you can trust me" so yea that is out.. then like a brick moving at the speed of sound, IT HIT ME!!! I can fix this 
From this moment on, all local dealerships are required to carry 1 ISARIA SCOUT 3pt sampling tool to be loaned out to locals either free or for a fee not to exceed $100 (This is what I am doing just for realism, calling it a deposit/upkeep fee but to each their own). This tool MUST be returned to the dealership when not currently in use so other locals in the area can use it. No sign-ups or comments required.. When you setup your game or at any point during gameplay just buy it, put the $17,000 back into your bankroll and park it at the shop to be used whenever needed. Simple and sweet.
