Other technology that exists is AI cameras to detect weeds and spray on the weeds only, thus reducing the need for widespread applications. Also, nitrogen fertilizer microbes (Envita40 I believe it's called) help fix the nitrogen from the air much the same as legumes do and thus reducing the amount of nitrogen applied to a crop. Lots of good technology if they can get the price point down. We export around 50% of what we grow in the US, so I'm not worried about our access to food here
Find the closest agricultural radio station on the am dial and start listening to it when driving. You'll soon find stories and web sites you may want to check out and learn even more. There's quite a bit to commercial agriculture and it's definitely advised to get a degree in that field if it's what you want to do

So many people here know a lot. I don't know much about agriculture.

Oh, I only want to grow some herbs. Somebody else can grow my carrots for me. LOL
