[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 6978156, member: 946"] Yes of course and they will have their place but how do they stack up price wise over thousands of acres? Beating the weather will still be the biggest single factor in many countries, you need instant output when conditions are right. Everything has to get to the field, be set up and monitored Seed/spray added and crops taken away again etc. Easier in wide open spaces I agree but certainly not suitable everywhere. In a recent episode of Millennial farmer Zach planted a 100 acre corn field without having to do anything to the tractor, auto headland turns etc. Boring yes but he was there to instantly trouble shoot if things went wrong and monitor performance. He got the crop in the ground in perfect conditions for 4 or 5 hours labour. New tech will have to be cheaper and at least as fast to compete. [/QUOTE]
