We're talking 4 million pounds of produce. LOL, that's such a wild number it cannot be possible.

I was skeptical of what you just said but they are claiming a yield of approximately 250x the traditional yield per acre for strawberries. Even if I give them 10x for the vertical height and another 10x for automation they're still falling short. Just more scams.
