Solar Storm Disrupts GPS Systems, Halting Planting Operations

Farmers across the Midwest and Canada face significant challenges as geomagnetic activity compromises precision farming technology.

One of the strongest solar storms in decades caused widespread GPS outages over the weekend.
Farmers rely on GPS for precision planting, which was severely affected during the peak of the planting season.
John Deere and other equipment suppliers reported 'extremely compromised' accuracy in their systems.
Many farmers had to halt their planting operations, leading to concerns about crop yields.
Experts note the rarity of such strong solar storms but highlight the need for better predictive tools.
