I have been farming for 8 years and asking for Meaningful Ag automation for 5. Applied twice to YC.
Simply put there is no $$ to replace manual labour. All Agtech is a sham. They are pimps for data collected from farms and fields that get fed to Wall Street and input and pesticide and tractor companies that use it to sell more stuff to farmers.
It doesn’t save farmers money. It doesn’t bring them meaningful Agtech or being Agbots and Farmbot to replace farm labour. The only agtech worth investing is Agtech that harvests data. That’s why probably all the Agtech and Agbot startups have investments from Ag input companies. It’s a dirty little secret that anyone can find out with a little bit of digging around...
Agtech has betrayed Ag.
