seems like if you can target herbicides to kill weeds you could also target LASERS to do the same thing... can we be done with poisons yet?
Intelligent machines can treat plants individually, eventually applying herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and fertilizers on a plant-by-plant — rather than field-by-field — basis.
This kind of hyper-precision may allow for more crop-mixing on fields trib.al/RRxwvHv

A robot army is beginning its march across rural America, promising to transform the future of food.
25 intelligent machines were dispatched in May to the Midwest and the Mississippi Delta trib.al/uRwMgYS

I often feel like politics has become more and more about trying to “own” the other side, and the art of compromise and coming together has been completely lost. I feel like a politician who actually tries to repair, bond and unite would do really well right now, we need it.

🌱 Like plants? Good. Like plants grown in lunar soil? Scientists just did that.
Ask @UF and @NASAMoon experts about their groundbreaking experiment, and what it means for future astronauts. teapawt.org/i/spaces/1MYGNnyvQBnGw
Moon grown
#spacefarmer
For the first time ever, scientists have grown plants in lunar soil.
This @UF and @NASASpaceSci experiment using Apollo Moon samples could shape the future of sustainable astronaut missions to deep space. Dig into the story: go.nasa.gov/38oVJU6
ALT View from above of seven small plant samples growing from small containers. The four sprouts on the left were grown in volcanic ash and appear vibrant and sturdy. The three sprouts on the right are slightly smaller and slightly duller because they were grown using the nutrient-enhanced lunar soil. All samples sit inside a clear, flat container on top of a white surface.
