Just imagine the cost savings in insecticides and herbicides. A robot will pull weeds and inspect for insects all day and all night......................

It will be nice.

The growth industry in this will be the rental business.

They will be too costly for smaller farmers to own so they will be rented like some of the other big farm equipment is now days.

But that is about ten years down the road.

Bug zapper robots that patrol the fields with bug lights that are charged up via solar during the day and patrol during the night time...

Little robots that fit between the rows picking out the weeds between crops, taking those weeds, collecting them and putting them in piles at the end of fields for cattle feed. they could also pull out crop plants that are too closely planted together for optimal placement and even re-plant them in areas where there are gaps in a field.

Stuff like this could make our food supply far safer as we wouldn’t have to use chemicals like pesticides and herbicides that could be turning the frickin’ frogs and our boys gay.
