Agriculture tech is about to be revolutionized

Question

I was just reflecting on how much will change in agtech with the advent of vertical farming, drones, cloud seeding, and more.

DJI just recently released a very neat drone system with a spraying radius for orchard / farming needs. You get an aerial view of the entire area you want to cover and you can chart a path.

Some other interesting companies:

Plenty: https://www.plenty.ag/

Rainmaker: https://www.makerain.com/

Any others?

I think agriculture tech is an underrated niche. Consider how hard farmers are fighting for the Right-to-Repair stuff, there's a lot of practical utility with tech to make agriculture so much more efficient.

This is not new and DJI had had agricultural drones for many years.

Plenty seems so cool. I see this argument a lot that vertical farming doesn't work, but I think in time it could. With better renewable energy sources it could make sense. Also once we're multi-planetary it'll definitely be an option outside of earth.

It's really impressive how a once small Chinese company has grown to a firm producing de facto the only drones on the consumer market
