I wonder if you would be able to design farm implements in a way where battery swaps are necessary but you have like a trailer type situation where there's like 10 batteries you can pull to the field with your tractor and then when needing to "top up" you just drive to the trailer to swap out. Then over night all ten batteries get charged. Or throughout the day you have a second trailer charging another ten batteries for continuous 24h operation.
It would be a fair bit of upfront investment but farm implements always are, and you would save on all the fuel required and having to deliver and store it.
