Great photography shot out of a drone.
The people running this machine clearly understand the dynamics of this system better than I do, but from a horticultural perspective I am looking closely at two things:
1. The machine is planting plugs (alleviating my concern about "J" rooting!).
2. How will the plug plants respond to a summer planting scenario, given (as far as I understand) that they have no cold conditioning.
Nice to see this sort of progress in the industry.
