AI and farming.

[Old Cowzilla]

If AI calculated the money invested in land, machinery and time and the risk of markets and weather it might tell you growing food is a poor investment. Risk factor too high for return let world go hungry and do something else. Would be nice if AI could send service truck when needed thou !

A marxist AI programmed into a helper robot would rather see you kill yourself on the farm and your family leave the land and eat bugs.

I mean boston robotics have tons of these prototypes. Would you really want this thing behind you when you are fixing something.

Watch those Black Mirror episodes from about 5 yrs ago. One showed a group of people totally integrated into the tech control structure and another that rejected it entirely and lived as an alternate society.

Why would you fully interact with something you cant trust. I dont trust the govt so my interactions are kept to a minimum. I dont trust my neighbor hoping he gets to rent my land. Same concept.

Better have your pants buckled up if you know what I’m sayin.

[wrongway]

if you want REAL advice and intelligence talk to an old timer whos been through it all before
if you want artificial intelligence well you know where to get it, no different than artificial meat, sweetner, leather or anything else artificial.

They’ll be 100’s of ways AI will be helpful especially as it get better. Some may be just taking heavy lifting out of data gathering but still neat. What’s the optimal date to seed canola to net get hit with a frost. Or analyze all machinery sales from all auction places and find the lowest dollar per hour machinery. Scan all journals for research on optimal factors for anything ag related.

Better is you will be able to completely write your own fertilizer prescriptions. Take yield data load it in and just verbally tell it till build a map compatible with an X35 based on what you want with no coding. Possibilities are endless.

When AI tells me what day and time its going to hail, it’ll be well worth its while.

The bto neighbor uses AI to optimize operations.

He works with Solinftec. I think they are a Brazilian company.

He started working with them last year. This year they are seeding way differently. No more than 2 or 3 drills in one area. Lots of single drills scattered around. Less moving, this way.

11 drills, 7 sprayers, 2 rollers and all the support equipment. Spread out over atleast 70 miles.

He has 15,000 mt of fertilizer shed storage and a blender.

Just a tonne of stuff going on.

I can see that could happen it's about optimizing management and logistics. it would be expensive to do, I guess it's just scale.
