  Tractors will probably bounce the signal rather unpredictably. Be sure to
test the cows and sheep, too. They may block the signal by absorbing it. It
would be rather clever of you to come up with a way for a cow to signal to
the farmer in his house that she's ready to calve or that he's late for the
milking. You may need one of them thar fancy Microsoft keyboards for the
cows to use.
