#3Better farming methods and farmers will probably not need such and invention.
I think about no drill farming. This "weed problem" comes from a farming not going with but against the nature. So it's thought that technology will solve problems which are no problems if methods to farm are optimized.

It's non-pesticide though, so you can just run it continuously and keep lasering the regrowth as well. Eventually the roots will run out of energy.

That's not a problem for the people selling the robot.
