So this broccoli farmer in northern Japan automated his own farm by writing software. And the craziest part is that he's never even studied engineering or even agriculture. Haruki Tamayasu was a public servant before teaching himself how to farm. Today he oversees almost 250 acres of broccoli, pumpkins, green onions and soybeans in Hokkaido. Farming at that scale can be brutal. It's physically demanding, operation complex and hard to staff. Normally, Automated requires expensive proprietary machinery and specialized engineers. So, Heraki turned to Chachabit and Codex specifically instead. He describes it like having an elite engineer always by his side. Now he photographs disease broccoli in the field and gets a diagnosis in seconds. He built a bot that controls his greenhouse vents remotely through a messaging app. He pulls satellite vegetation data and overlays it on maps of his own fields to judge how each plot is doing. And he even used AI to understand GPS auto steering, then realized he could build a system for himself at a fraction of the cost of buying one. More of the story is that as AI adoption continues to spread, even farmers at the most rural corners of the world are gaining these engineering skills that were once completely out of reach. If you want to stay in the loop with the latest in AI and robotics, follow for more.
