Interesting article in Wired magazine,"These May Be The Droids Farmers Are Looking For".The article is about robots and technology working for the wholesale nurseries.
It seems the trade continues to fragment along two lines. Large agriculture (wholesale growers)their customers (box stores and mass merchants), and a smaller ("hand made")agriculture for smaller customers. It would seem that we are coming close to a time when we in the smaller garden center businesses will be able to call our offerings "hand-made", distinguishing our offerings from the "robot-produced" goods the competition carries.
