Automated farm equipment is amazing now. Even small operators can use software that dispenses different amounts of water, nutrients, fertilizer or whatever on different parts of a field, based on a map deveoped from soil testing and last year's yield - as measured by harvesters that weigh how much material gets harvested from every spot on the field. The operator's main job is to be there in case something goes wrong.
