The energy crunch has made fertilizer too expensive to produce
- jelliclesfarm 5y agomost small acreage farms don’t need a lot of inputs. But what makes them less profitable is the cost of labour. Automating small acreage farms first makes so much more sense and it would benefit everyone. Not to mention less reliance on supply chains and a reduction of food waste. While economies of scale work well with Big Ag and commodity crops, for food and produce, if we have to implement Ag automation, we have to work with small acreage and not with already highly optimized mechanized big Ag.
