What's it like working in Agtech?

Question

I'd love to work on something agricultural but have 0 skills in that area. What use can a software eng be? Any notable companies which still act a bit like tech companies?Most of my experience out of the tech world has been really painful, e.g. business devs writing 50-page "product specs" to go and implement over 2 years, or saying they want tech workers but actually wanting IT support.

>>Any notable companies which still act a bit like tech companies?I'd bet John Deere, Caterpillar and Syngenta all operate this way.

I'm curious why you are looking for a company that acts like a tech company but then note a core pain of working for those companies? Are you expecting agriculture tech to have avoided those characteristics somehow?
