A lot of agtech is expensive, but farming without technology can be pretty expensive as well.
Agrivoltaics are starting to move beyond just using sheep grazing under solar panels to include cash crops.
One big benefit to precision spray technology: less phytotoxicity on the crop itself.
In recent years, a number of viable precision spray technologies have hit the agricultural market, with several of them targeting vegetable crops.
Possibly the type of autonomy making the most inroads in our industry are smart implements, especially those offering precision spraying in vegetable crops.
