Farmers ARE automating
The florida citrus industry is using new shaker technology to harvest fruit.
The wine industry now has the ability to pick grapes via automation.
It is not a question of IF by when and how fast these can be implimented.
If you want to see the machinery just do a google search for harvester and grapes or citrus or any other crop.
And of course, what happens to all of the illegal fruit pickers when the industry automates?
