Research Headlines - Automated asparagus harvesting cuts costs, improves crops

[Source: Research & Innovation] Harvesting white asparagus relies heavily on manual labour, an expense that places a financial strain on farmers.

This saves farmers money, improves crop quality and removes the need for back-breaking work.
