391,400 calves;
9,518,200 sheep;
25,624,700 lambs;
5,683,500 pigs; and
695,730,800 chickens.
Despite following many non-technology hashtags there's lots of computer technology chatter in my #mastodon feed. Let's change that for #sunday!
So #fediverse: have you ever milked a cow? (or goat, sheep etc.)
edit: it's sunday, best to put a CW on photos of you milking your hamster.

I have a score of 2. I've never used a chainsaw or tapped a maple tree, but I've been in close proximity to those things being done. #NeverHaveIEver #Farming #Country #rural #DIY

Touchy-feely robots can identify plants with 97% accuracy
"Chinese researchers develop a robot that can identify plant species and growth stages by touch, with implications for agriculture."
"The robot utilises a tactile sensing approach inspired by human skin, where layers work in coordination to gain information through touch. This tactile system, when combined with machine learning, enables the robot to distinguish between plant species and growth stages. When the electrode makes contact with a leaf, it gathers key data such as capacitance (the amount of charge a leaf can store at a certain voltage), electrical resistance (how easily electric current flows through the leaf), and the force exerted as the robot grips the leaf.
"This unique mechanism addresses a significant limitation in current plant-monitoring technologies, which typically rely on visual methods. According to Zhongqian Song, associate professor at Shandong First Medical University and one of the study’s authors, visual identification tools are vulnerable to external influences such as lighting, weather conditions, and background interference. The new touch-based approach overcomes these constraints, offering a more reliable solution for accurate plant identification.
“It could revolutionise crop management and ecosystem studies and enable early disease detection, which is crucial for plant health and food security,” says Song."
