I have once particcipated in a similiar project. One thing that I find can be easily overlooked is that a lot things, specially in small farms are very specific to the location and the specific varieties of plants you have. Trimming dates can change by more than a month just be moving a few hundred km. Same with terrain conditions and that could just change from one farm to the next. I'm not sure if that info can be systematically gathered and distributed without being extremelly complex at the same time.

It can, that's where plant encyclopedias, botanical information etc come in. Botany is a science, the information is out there. Go to your local library and have a browse. What I don't like is how SF techbros seemed to try and high-tech solve a solved problem. I've seen some of my colleagues set up a farmbot... the same job could be done with one person, a couple hours and a trowel. In practice, the building manager would go to the site once a day with a hose to water the plants.
