If you only need to remove weeds manually in the first few weeks after seeding instead of all the time, that's a potentially substantial reduction of labor cost.

Same with strawberry picking robots: It's not a dealbreaker if they have only 50% precision. That still means you have halved your labor costs (and time requirements) for the picking step (assuming that the robot picks in the night, then workers pick the remainder during the day).
