Ever wonder how crops get harvested in countries without mass immigration, like Australia or Japan? Farmers there have automated. As will American farmers, once they can no longer rely on illegals.

Some crops don't "automate" very well, most that do, have been.

If you have some ideas on how to do it, you should invest a few million into a farm and give it a try.
