Automatic harvesters are being researched some already built. The cost for most are higher then humans but as the social warriors continue their battle against the laws of economics it will soon be cheaper to have machines do the work.

youtube has a number of examples.

Some still require humans but it is only a matter of time that the whole process from tilling to planting to harvesting can be done automatically.
