Continued advancement of genetic engineering and automation will be the biggest changes over my lifetime I suspect. I'd bet in my lifetime (I'm 31) I witness a harvest where operators in the cab aren't necessary. And genetic engineering is still an infant. Imagine crops immune to disease, or corn that fixates its own nitrogen, or things we can't even imagine right now.
