> in what world is introducing a complex, expensive machine to an already thin margin industry a practical solution

In the world where it is cheaper than the rising price of fertilizer.



The robots (including maintenance) would also have to be cheaper than sensors and existing automated tractors.

I’m not willing to say it is impossible, but it would be extremely difficult to achieve.


Agree. Not sure if the OP checked the price of modern farm equipment lately. I’m pretty sure $500K for certain things is not uncommon.
