We take evolutionary things too close to our hearts. As the change of seasons in nature with decay - the bloom, and the country and the terrain. They blossom – they bloom.
My opinion is that Russia will be saved by robots. Road robot, robot tractor, robot combination machine, etc. I have a farm in the area - so a hundred years ago 150 tons of seed needed a whole village for a month-and-a-half, and now two people on the machinery are playing it.
Productivity needs to work for the machine, not the man.
