Does anyone see farming moving in this future direction? Smaller robots seeding?

[farmgal71]

I thought this was an interesting approach.
Kind of like the vision the DOT system is moving towards.
What does everyone think while you drive the big tractors and airseeders?

Please everyone be safe.

Let's see, we have agronomists, marketing services, robots in the field, artificial intelligence, ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION???

What's left for me to do? Fish, hike, watch Jets win, sleep.

Bahahahaha.

better chance we'll be swinging from trees flinging shut at one another again before that happens. unless we dump the carbon tax for a get off this rock tax and leave the environmentalists to save the planet while we leave for higher ground

Not that small in western canada but maybe dot seedmaster size would be ideal size i think

Now I feel obsolete...

Cool
But in the big picture, it’s scary to think of the control others will have over every acre of your farm .... seed , data . Think about the freedom we , our our kids will loose . Not sure I like that direction.
Who’s dirt will it be ? And who will control it ???

I think the challenge there would be the volume of inputs we put down now, would be way too many trips back for product. I do think there is potential for weed specific spraying or even mechanical rogueing of fields with little robots. Same argument as always of needing to make human thought based decisions ie wet spots, obstacles.

Besides when you shut the engine off to call it a night and you hear that extra quiet calmness after listening to the diesel all day with a few frogs croaking in the background and the smell of moist soil disturbed by the drill, why would you want to miss that!
