I could use a roomba lawn weed sprayer....
“Swarms of drones buzz overhead, while robotic vehicles crawl across the landscape. Orbiting satellites snap high-resolution images of the scene far below. Not one human being can be seen in the pre-dawn glow spreading across the land.”
As if there aren’t huge numbers of people laboring away at creating/building/maintaining those robots, and supporting that high-tech infrastructure - in far better conditions than weather-exposed fields.
Will robots also go out to the mailbox to pick up the subsidy checks for not growing crops?
But, but...how’s John McCain and Jeb Bush going to justify the illegals invasion?
From seed to pot, automatically.
Geez, haven’t we heard *enough* stories about Harvey Weinstein?
It isn’t like there’s a shortage of grains now. The issue isn’t increasing yields, it’s a matter of increasing profitability.
It doesn’t change anything if instead of 100 bushels an acre at $6 a bushel you produce 200 bushels at $3 per, even if the per-unit cost of production also drops in half.
So . . . all that ee-lec-tron-ich-all stuff will be needin’ lots a’ fixin’.
All it’s showing is new systems. That’s all.
Will be implemented steps at a time.
Will require lots of set up, testing, tear it out, start again, sell it, start over etc.
Will require lots of folks to fix stuff when it breaks.
Tornadoes will rip it all apart.
Floods will wash it away.
Fires will burn it up.
Gub-Mints will regulate it and tax it.
Troglodytes will curse it.
ALGOR-ians will worship it.
Most will just keep moving on with necessary progress and improvement.
Babies will be made.
‘Shine will be drank.
Cows will poop.
G-d is happiest when His children are at play.
The End.

That way we all can live in projects like Obama wanted.
Question to anyone...
Is it theoretically possible to grow a food product - a cashew nut, a carrot, whatever - from plant stem cells, and completely eliminate the tree or the plant?
My son in law is R&D with John Deere and his family has a huge grain and hog operation. Their tech is cutting edge. Most row equipment is computer and GPS controlled with a secondary tracking system several hundred feet up on their grain elevator. I rode along with him during some planting and he could bring up soil moisture, herbicide and insecticide application, planting density, and more on a screen with resolution less than a square foot and superimpose if he liked. One he’ll of an audio system in his also!
