At present, the human machine can work around 5 acres of mixed crops in varied conditions on a bowl of rice, an egg, some of the unmarketable veggies - and copious amounts of water...lol. So that's the efficiency benchmark that automation will have to at least meet before it's commercially viable.
For now I'm content wondering how to arrange the production space so that simple mechanical automation becomes a working feature. The bleeding edge of ag is lightyears away from the reality on the ground. LOL, sad, perhaps. That said, I tend to favor solutions that begin with "can I get the plant to do x" rather than "can I build a machine to do x".
