I live off grid small,on an old overgrown farm,lots of worn out land around,lots of small farmsteads,no spray operations.
Teck has helped with marketing and
bieng able to get parts and supplys
delivered without losing a day or two going to town.
Some interesting teck I have heard of includes planting equipmemt that
works like a printer,with indivual planting heads able to plant multiple crops and comensal plants
in one pass.Huh?what then?
Harvest the whole mess,weed seeds and all and then pass it through
an airjet curtain where sensors
identify each sead by type and push it where it needs to go.
A similar system was pionered by
debeers in the 1960's and led to
a massive increase in diamonds bieng recovered.
Laser weeders are here now and many
are working on laser bug zappers.
Satelites are bieng used for very
precise fertilizer aplication and
all the big tractor companys are working on or running fully remote
equipment that will allow teams to
remotely operate the mega equipment that is common now.They would make
the equipment bigger but roads will
not acomodate it in most places.
What else,gps for ultra precise field grading to control slopes for
irigation.
Combining solar and wind power with
agriculture where it works.Such as
putting solar over irigation canals,reduces evaporation,and cools the panels while useing ,free
space.
Lots happening
