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.

Do you happen to have a link? I only find articles talking about attempting it, but not making it.

Unfortunately, no. I can't find the article that I read about it.
