[Star Wars] Why would moisture farmers need an astromech droid?

How would R2-D2 help the Lars farm? Would he do repairs or just be a laborer?

You're obviously from the Inner Core. Moisture farms require a lot of computerized automation.  There's constant atmospheric monitoring, pump pressure adjustments, pipe and stream line routing, distillers, condensers, etc.  Unless you know the antiquated language that the system is programmed in, you're going to need an astromech to monitor the jury-rigged set-up that we got going on here from collapsing.
