Introduction to Precision Farming

I wonder if any of these farming tasks would be more efficient with a swarm of mass-produced drones with the right software. Does farming currently use such large, expensive equipment because it leverages the attention of the operator, or because there are actual economies of mechanical scale?

Super interesting stuff . Farmlogs is another related example - https://farmlogs.com/

>Agriculture and technology have been intimately connected for most of human history

Except humans didn't do agriculture for most of human history. To be fair the UK farming minister said much the same thing a couple of weeks ago, which is kind of worse!

"History" by definition is specific to events during the era of written language, so the author's usage is correct.

I adjusted the text a bit anyhow.

very informative. i am curious to know if the differences in yield/soil conditions before/after adopting no-till practices had been documented. the study of such a comparison must be a fun revelation.

at this size, i am assuming the tractor uses a crimper-roller? is the farm organic?

Good stuff. I have FB friends that are farmers who should appreciate this. Thanks for sharing!

How prevalent is this ? in the US; in other countries.

Farming data viz, that's really neat
