    I’d like to fully automate grain harvesting.

    Fun fact: I once talked about this with a distant relative, and they replied “but wouldn’t that imply a loss of workplaces for farmers?”.

      Funner fact: they basically have automated grain harvesting. Combine harvesters can use GPS positioning to drive themselves. They also come with remote controllers much like a model airplane, or drone does.

      And yes, it does mean that the farmers aren’t hiring as many farm hands as they used to.
