Agriculture is an area still ripe for technological innovation. It looks less and less like it did a generation ago, but there are still many dangerous tasks, like this one, involved and, I believe, many that could be made much more efficient.

I love to see projects like this making a difference for people doing critical, and often dangerous, blue collar work.

The problem is that the "easy" stuff was assisted if not automated a while ago, the stuff that's always the same and pretty much just requires mechanical muscle.

What's left over tends to be either controlling the stuff, dealing with failures, or work which has enough variance that it's really hard to automate reliably and perfectly.
