Modern tractors literally drive themselves and automatically notify the manufacturer when in need of service. They're also enormous.

Cows allowed to milk themselves via automated milking apparatus actually produce more milk and seem happier.

Societal investment could easily bring these technologies to every farm.

At least for staple/commodity/bulk crops.

Not necessarily desirable for every type of produce or animal agriculture. Automated chicken factories are also enormous and remarkably light on labour input, but there are other consequences.

It’s funny this comes up because I’m designing an open source solar powered farming robot as a community oriented engineering project specifically to address the long tail of specialty crops:
