I am mainly interested in whether the approach works for farms between a thousand and three thousand acres, or just those with 100 or 150 acres. Farmers who adopt more sustainable practices have to do more weeding. They have to do it more often, and they have the time to do it. Larger, commercial-sized farms, however, operate under stricter time frame and temperature requirements. In Canada, or in Quebec, farmers have very narrow windows for seeding, weeding, and irrigation.
Some farmers opt for the application of products so they can cover the area in a single pass because they have such a large acreage to cover. Farmers with smaller or medium-sized operations have the flexibility to go over the field more often.
Does the research examine small and medium-sized farms or large ones?
