Modern farm implements are already halfway to being robots--they can navigate by GPS, adjust plant spacing and fertilizer application based on yield maps from the previous year, collect yield and moisture data while harvesting, it's CRAZY.

WTF Um, yeah, they pretty much are robots! I had no idea they were that complex. That's amazing. If I were running Panem, I'd definitely want to keep all of that if I could, just to save the labor (of course, if some bureaucrat starts thinking it's dangerous to teach Nines to using something so complex... :( )

I'd probably write it as some kind of weird agrarian cyberpunk thing with all the high-tech machinery and wide open spaces, big-city refineries on the horizon and storms coming off the plains.....

:D :D :D I'M ONBOARD
