This is not really doable. It may be for small scale production of vegetables, but not for anything that needs great efficency. In the farming sector the trend goes towards bigger machines and bigger fields to increase efficiency and also to eliminate the need for work done by humans through automation. Concepts like this are incredibly hard to adapt, since they significantly increase the amount of work without increasing the profit. Also due to different plants having different needs it becomes significantly harder to actually harvest the needed amounts in order to make a profit.

I mean, one track can be as wide as a field sprayer as well. Not more work then.

For harvesting you would need to change the tool or adjust the machine for every row.

What, why? Barely two cultures have the same harvest time.
You seem to think of a lot of different cultures in rows. What i’m trying to say is, maybe 4 cultures in a field 4 times the size, but alternating rows.

So what if your rows were 1/2 mile wide and 1/2 mile long, and you had dozens of these rows with about 4-6 cultures interspersed amongst them? It would be like a single field with several rows, but at a scale that makes 120’ sprayers and 60’ combine headers make sense. You know, like a farm.
