You’re Not Thinking Big Enough: Rebuilding Food Systems with AI Agents — Cody Menefee, Firecrawl
Cody Menefee once drove three hours to a processor with ten turkeys strapped to the roof of his Tesla, and reports that a windbreak of birds up top does real damage to your range.
He raised them in a Nashville backyard where that is not allowed, nearly quit engineering to farm, and learned how hard it is to make money at it. Instead he asks why only three percent of cattle finish on pasture when it is better for animal, consumer, and land. The answer is labor. Grazing done right means splitting pasture into paddocks with one day of feed and moving the herd, fences, and water every day so the grass rests. GPS collars with virtual fences handle the moving but not the deciding: grass grows differently after drought, rain, or trampling, and today a farmer walks out to look. His proposal is to replace those eyes and drop a language model in the loop. Drones give the best imagery but no jurisdiction allows autonomous flights; satellites are too far away; a trail cam pointed at a measuring stick is the cheap version. Feed the model animal locations, drought conditions, and grass height, and let it suggest the next paddock for a human to confirm.
