Big Business.
Today there is now nearly a harvesting machine for every crop that can be sown/planted on farms, vine-yards, cane plantations and paddy-fields. The day of the cropper has arrived, thus cutting the need to employ vast numbers of people to pick.
In some cases picking by hand is still preferred, especially with soft fruits and asparagus this is because their is a demand by the supermarket chains for quality in appearance. Many new kinds of harvesting machines have been designed to pick, pull and twist and capable of covering a wide area.
The initial machines of say thirty to forty years ago have now been well classed out, but sizes and quality of farm machinery remains to the cost of purchase and the types that are needed.
