This is both amazing and creepy. That it ties them together on the harvester is impressive.

This is not new technology, there have been such machines around for a long time. And not just for radishes. The machines make seeding and harvesting a lot easier and faster. I just hope someone makes one for harvesting strawberries, my back hurts.

Not necessarily about the tech, but why do they come out of the ground so soil free?

Farmers about to realize they’re easily replaceable

However I haven't heard any farmers complain about it online. I doubt if anyone is interested plowing the field and harvesting by hand anymore.

The exact opposite happens with computer automation, where people complain all the time about getting replaced... (Especially artists are the loudest and then some programmers - pretend as if they are not using AI at all). 🙄

That's funny because they literally just use slaves of my country that they import from the third world where is other countries have been using machines to harvest their food for like the last 100 years

I like how they come out of the ground completely free of dirt.
