It all really seems very silly to me and a little greedy on Meter Group’s part.
These sensors aren’t really anything special or proprietary at all. I imagine Agrowtek will have their own version ready in a short time.
I’d be interested to hear an explanation from Meter Group on their reasoning behind this.
Just a guess but I’d bet there’s probably someone in the ownership structure or upper management who thinks they’re some kind of business genius who just discovered the green tax idea.
