    So drones will replace farmers. Can someone explain? Ok, I get a dot it seeds all night then how do I move to field two a mile away. Load on trailer and move then who fills the dot in the middle of the night because what could it seed 40 acres. So basically babysitting an automated system. **** it's more fun driving around your field at least you understand your land.

    This is a bullshit thing.

    Maybe a full-size drone helicopter to spray. But a little piss in the wind won't work.

        Nah I’d sooner have them chipping ice from the waterers and pulling frozen net wrap. Heading out in a few minutes here and not looking forward to it. ⛄️

        Putting on an extra coat for sure ............... and cardboard over the rads.

          Would like to see a robot take frozen net wrap off in minus 30 weather....that would summarize what a robot would be good for...it would take it off the bale....then you could spend time untangling the robot.

            Yea funny thing even the remote Weather station said **** it today and isn't sending a signal for the last half hour. Yep, it's cold and tec is not going to work. It's us that have to go out and work. Liked the guy waiting inside his electric car yesterday to charge while I was shopping. He was still there when I got done and went to two more stores and passed again and he was still there. Ah tec. Yea was not going to be replaced.

                drone flyby will send detailed map to the robotic field units before they begin, so they know areas to stay away from.

                    And who is controlling the drone?

                    No matter what , there will be people involved 24/7 so what is wrong with the existing western canadian farm?

                    Millions unemployed , surely some of them could sit in seats and operate equipment for far less than than DOT??????

                      Combine that with remote sensing of soil moisture in real time, overlaid on soil type maps ( in my gound, I can drive through standing water in some higher OM black soil, and get stuck in damp clay on hills dry enough to walk on with running shoes).
