Can you imagine what some of your produce prices in the Grocery store would be if we had Native Americans demanding $15.00 per hour to pick lettuce?

Good question! Lemme think here. Do we have folks out in "dem ole cotton fields?"

How do we get all that wheat harvested? And whats the name of that big corporation that makes machines for this purpose?

Funny how nobody thinks about the mega farmers investing in a little capital.

You are correct. Since the 1970's there has been very little capital invested in produce harvesting machines while machinery in other areas of farming have advanced rapidly. Money has been spent on Mexicanization rather than mechanization.

They would if they were forced to. Take away their illegal labor and see how fast those machines start rolling off the assembly line. Large companies will do whatever it takes to keep the profits coming in.

Not all crops can be harvested by mechanical means.......tomatoes and cabbage come to mind.......at least, not yet.....

And the name of that big corporation(s) that makes machines is AGCO, John Deere Co., Case-International, and Kubota, to name a few.......
