The above image says on top left "Robotic Ultra-Precise Weed Control" technology; this is from the YouTube link that accompanies Jim Shaw's article titled "Technology that Will Change Agriculture in 2017" in the FFDL website (22 March 2017, Food & Farm Discussion Lab, fafdl.org ). Among other things, they are saying if you can't defeat the weeds, the robots will. The technologies that Jim Shaw writes about are: (a) remote sensing for monitoring crops and crop damage, (b) genetic engineering for creating superior trains of crops with superior yields, (c) robots in agriculture for planting, harvesting and processing grains, (d) drones for planting, crop spraying and finding out which parts of a large field needs more water, and (e) vertical farming in the city where there is limited space for agriculture. After affirming all that for science and technology, Jim Shaw ends his article of faith mentioning that "Many are waiting for the coming ...
