A High-Tech Vegetable Weeder Can Help Farmers to Quickly Go Organic
Converting a conventional farm to an organic farm is a growing trend in American agriculture, due to the demand for organic produce. Consumers and farmers alike are becoming more aware of the health hazards herbicides present. Exposure to sprayed herbicides has been known to trigger respiratory problems in both farmers, and anyone living near the sprayed fields.
However, weeding can stop a farmer from converting their acreage to organic; weeding acres and acres of farmland by hand is extremely labor-intensive and costly. It’s a conundrum; while converting to organic can ultimately be healthier and more profitable, making the change is cost-prohibitive.
Fortunately, AI-powered, high-tech vegetable weeders are now available, that can intuitively distinguish between weeds and crops. These sophisticated pieces of farm equipment can eliminate the need for herbicides. Better yet, these “smart cultivators” can simultaneously weed, cultivate and plant seeds at a rate of 1-2 acres per hour. It’s an all-in-one machine that can help you quickly convert your farm to organic.
While these high-tech cultivators are expensive, they can pay for themselves in no time. Not only will herbicides and farm labor no longer be necessary, but health costs may also go down. As the air quality of the farm improves, so may any respiratory problems that are triggered by herbicides. To put it simply, converting to organic is good for the farmer, the surrounding community, and consumers.
