I have been farming most of my life and the biggest problem I see is it is really slow and what would the cost of one of these robots be, in order to check each row for weeds and pest on a large farm by the time you got 10% done the rest of the crop would already be destroyed by pests and weeds. I'm just guessing but I would think that for what this thing costs I could hire a fairly large crew to do the work for a couple of seasons. Maybe someday they can get it to work good but not today.

@Ibarakify

@@morrisl7 That's not true in the slightest. Australia is presently suffering tremendously due to poor farming practices which has lead to a spate of droughts and a continual erosion of arable land. Reducing ground cover increases evapotranspiration which, in turn, reduces ground water content. This has the run-on effect of further reducing ground-cover, disrupting nutrient cycles which makes soil 'silty' (no plant matter/soil replenishment process is ongoing now), and increasing carry-off from wind. Poor water retention in soil (caused by lack of ground cover for reference) causes drought, flooding in nearby regions (due to tremendous increases in run-off), and kills off most of the microculture in the ground (which is responsible for adding nitrogen to the soil). Modern farming is only efficient if you fail to weigh in the value of arable land into your calculations. As soon as you account for soil integrity and land maintenance, it's not nearly as effective nor efficient as it seems. The solution, for reference, is as easy as rotating fields to allow for fallowing and not disrupting ground-cover enmasse (certain kinds of trees and long-root grasses are an especially good means of 'rooting' water in an area to reduce soil degradation).

This is laying the groundwork for what is to come.

It has wheels and some sensors, O.K., like every Lego Mindstorm set.

It just seems that there is a disconnect between the potential of emerging farming techniques and the traditional approach.. and I am not talking about using robots..
