<p>Relying on soil surveys at 5 acres is typically not advised. Soil samples will always yield best results. Your State Ag School usually will process them gratis or for little cost (they may ask to add the sample to a database). The more samples the better!<p>One of the best:<p><a href="https://www.agronomy.k-state.edu/outreach-and-services/soil-testing-lab/" rel="nofollow">https://www.agronomy.k-state.edu/outreach-and-services/soil-...</a><p>Homeowners, if you care about your grass looking great, not a bad idea to get a sample.</p>

<p>Former GIS guy here, I've modeled and mapped hundreds of rural jurisdictions so I'm familiar with what you are trying to accomplish. Not sure how comprehensive USDA soil surveys are these days as soil conditions can be hyper local (down to the feet).<p>Many of large ranch lands and farms are going to be listed exclusively by a certain broker which may require website scrapping at minimum and or heads up data entry at worst.<p>Colorado:<p><a href="https://www.ranchland.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ranchland.com/</a><p>For general usability, I'd suggest at a minimum adding State and County lines, and further, census place points for labeling.<p>You've included some interesting filters that's for sure.<p>And of course my usual plug for a great mapping book - How to Lie with Maps - <a href="https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/H/bo27400568.html" rel="nofollow">https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/H/bo274005...</a><p>I'd be willing to give you input.</p>

<p>It's very much looking like OpenAI will be bailed out, along with all the other Capex'ers. I say this because the trump admin (I feel partially at fault because I voted for him) has indicated they will be bailing out the entire ai stargate from intel and amd to amazon and anthropic. I know alot of everyday folks that absolutely hate -  passionately HATE - anything and everything tech bro. Downvote all you want, that's the reality. They see Palantir et al as evil and demonic.</p>

<p>My 2 cents is in 3 years the inference products will be a commodity, extremely competitive with diminishing returns, seeing that the open weight models are getting so good and nearing par with sota.<p>I feel 90% of sota for 10% of cost / compute is good enough for 80% of workloads.<p>Question is, do we need all of this hardware? Are build outs going to get canceled. 4300 new data centers seems excessive. I personally haven't experienced any service disruptions...<p>Does Microsoft still have 1 million gpu's in storage? Is that what I heard earlier this year?</p>
