Forget robots.
Gather data on how the plans are doing (think lora-wan sensors) and try to minimize both waste and costly investments (like unneeded fertilizers and treatments).
Hire a someone who knows how plants grow and when they are in their better condition.
Surprisingly some plants give the sweetest fruits when they are near death (think grapes and wine).
When you have data, you can focus on investment and ROI.
It is also more prudent ;-)
- eb0la 6y agoDo not forget to have a small part of the plants as a control group. I mean, plant that don't get the special treatment (fertilizer/medicine/etx?). If you don't do that, you're buying snake oil in less that three years
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoWe have a labour problem. There aren’t many people who are willing to do repetitive manual labour for minimum wage. We need robots. Plants grow without data. Farming needs manual labour and mechanization(that requires skilled labour). We need to automate farming.
