LLMs are a type of machine learning. The stupidest type of machine learning. The OP did not suggest machine learning in generally, they suggested LLMs specifically, which time and time again have been shown to be incapable of this task as a matter of fundamental design. Worse, because LLMs can't understand the their training data, the output of an LLM must be verified, which in situations like this would probably take more time than simply conducting novel research in the form of random experimentation. Also, you really need to read your citations. The first one found that machine learning was unsuited for the task of agricultural prediction...
