Very late reply...But if you want to hear an admitedly biased (towards negative) source, go read the crop comments on agweb.com

Late reply, but yes I am aware of Indigo Ag. Will see if they can deliver on their goals. I am dubious

Correct, its a horticulture driven innovation (makes it more cool IMO).

Free idea: There is MASSIVE distrust in the NASS right now in the farming community to the point of the data becoming questionable. It'd be nice if place like Indigo Ag (which acquired TellusLabs I believe) could assist/takeover s

Thanks, perhaps I will reach out later today (going to fields ironically enough!)

Might be coolest engineering solution I've seen in my short time on this planet.

Umm...start with USDA NASS for agriculture statistics in the US. agfundernews.com for the startup scene. Just reseach in general. Deep Learning, Nanotechnology, Drones (UAVs), genetic engineering all have a home in agriculture. I'd be

I'm very familiar with the Ogallalla aquifer. When the drought of 2012 hit, people were very worried about it never recovering. After several 'wet' years it appears to be fine. Mother Nature is stronger than we give her credi

There is. But its hard to recoup any profit for the same reason you don't hear about iPhone's/premium tech in poor countries/region. Money just isn't there. Also, as pointed out, most farms are larger and getting la

Save land? Most land in the US is doing NOTHING, or has little potential for anything other than carbon sequesteration

This is correct. But the crops they target (veggies mostly) are also grown outdoors. But the higher margins on these veggies give the indoor people and hydroponic people an opportunity to compete (also year round veggies command a premium a

Yes, Land Institute is excellent. I follow their work closely. They are on the right path.

Don't read slashdot (never seen it TBH)

Not in tech either, but I like reading and casually following the scene. Kinda funny watching the language flame-wars every so often

I bought it as well and it served its purpose (then I transitioned to Observable). Worth it if you are serious and want some 'hand-holding' getting started.

Any other libraries (that are as low of level) as d3.js? Is D3 still being used heavily in production by people's experience?
