Yair... Hello from Australia.This maybe a bit out of left field for this forum (seeing as it's mostly big gear featured here). I have always reckoned though that the small farmer should be able to make a living on just a few acres of specialised crop.
With conventional methods it's pretty difficult. For the past few years we have been working on an a partly automated farming system working on the principle of a small centre pivot irrigator.
Four prototypes later we have a proof of concept machine that works from mains or solar power (2.2kw) and we believe it will produce intensively grown crops with less inputs of energy and labour than any other means.
Having worked on the concept for eight years pretty much in isolation we would be interested in critiscism and comment from practical people and maybe get a bit of discussion going as to the viability of the idea.
I can post some pictures if you are interested.
