Abstract
Agriculture is compared with other industries and the role of automata is discussed. The present requirements are for instrumentation and other operator aids to improve the performance of existing equipment, but improved energy management techniques including waste recycling will call for a greater use of automata. A case can also be made for operator elimination in some field operations and a completely automated driverless tractor system is described by way of an example.
