You guys get the ball rolling on that.  I’ve had a few ideas in the past that I’ve eventually saw in the field.  Who knows, if I knew how to develop some of this stuff I could be half retired by now.  The only thing I haven’t seen is the most useful of my ideas.  Not sure how drones or whatever would work, but I’d be interested.  I understand gps could help, but on 1/4 to 1/3 acre lots, there could be some margin of error.

They plant whole sections (640 acres) by GPS now. It must be a different level of technology because my cell phone certainly isn't as accurate as these planting machines. They're perfect down to an inch. 

Most of the vineyards here are old enough that they were measured out by hand. My rows are supposed to be 12 feet center to center. I have spots that are 14 feet and some that are 8 feet.

My brother's brothers field has some rows that not only weave in and out but are planted on a curve hahaha. We've come a long way.
