Shropshire farms using robots to plant and harvest crops

Robots are taking to the fields of Shropshire to plant and maintain crops like delphiniums and spring onions.

The droids are solar-powered and self-sufficient and use GPS signals to record where each seed is planted. They can then do all the weeding.

Ashley Evers-Swindell, from Shropshire Petals, said: 'It's something none of us have ever really seen before.

"Having a droid, it's pretty magic."
