Inside of a Tractor Cab [video]
It still surprises me that modern agriculture doesn't seem to track each individual plant.<p>Surely in todays world, it's very cheap to simply have a bunch of cameras looking down at the plants, and track from each seed, to each plant, to each leaf on the plants, to how many cents that plant earned you.<p>When you have that kind of tracking,  you can do things like "If a plant is within 30mm of a neighbour, we will earn more if we kill one plant and let the other grow.  Kill whichever is currently smaller".<p>Or "if a plant is growing within 2 inches of a rock, give it these extra nutrients".<p>Treating each plant separately should give much higher yields.<p>Our current system is equivalent to a human medical system which doesn't inspect each patient individually, but instead just prescribes medications to entire towns!
