Field note
Why orchard tech gets ignored
A lot of orchard tech gets ignored for a boring reason: it asks people to spend more before it helps them save anything.
If a tool needs a long setup, a stack of training, a dedicated operator, and another monthly bill, people will pass.
Not because they hate technology. Because they hate friction.
Most orchard owners are already thinking about frost risk, disease pressure, labor, spray timing, and water use. They do not want another system to babysit.
Farmbit works only if it stays lightweight: use the tools growers already have, turn the output into something they can act on, and get to an answer fast.
