The farming machine knows to cultivate and harvest automatically

With an automatic farming machine, farmers now do not need to be very hard at planting, watering or spraying. Every work has machines.

Engineers are working together to create a great machine, taking the most of the hard work of a farmer. Now, farmers just need to bring agricultural products to sell and collect money.

The machine is shaped like a big car with many wheels, can be accurately calculated and take all steps to grow an agricultural crop. From cultivating, sowing, fertilizing, watering, eliminating pests, and harvesting, classifying finished products.

According to the current general situation, up to 60% of agricultural products are wasted because it is green or too ripe on the day of common harvest in the field. This machine was born to fix that problem, it calculates exactly when it will be harvested, making sure that the fruit ripens best when picked.

Professor Simon Blackmore, head of agricultural robots at Harper Adams University in Shropshire and director of the National Center for Farming, said he is looking forward to seeing the field cared for by machines in the year. 2020.

'We are working hard to develop a complete agricultural mechanization system based on these machines. These motorbikes can kill laser grass, drip irrigation, target pesticide spraying, not affect agricultural products, selectively harvest, classify products into each group and each collection stage ' , he said at a press conference in London.

'These efforts began to reduce the difficulty of partially mechanized agriculture in the UK today. About 20 to 60 percent of agricultural products are discarded due to improper harvesting, causing great waste if considered over a long period of time. "

'Consumers when buying vegetables at supermarkets, they will have the mentality to choose the freshest and most beautiful bunch of vegetables or fruits, those left behind for a long time will be destroyed by the supermarket. Now, these robots can calculate harvest time and will harvest many waves to make sure that the fruit trees are cooked evenly and fresh to be sold in the day, ' he added.

The new technology is expected to reduce the amount of agricultural chemicals used in the UK and replace the huge amount of labor that could be reduced after Britain left the European Union.
