Strawberries, tomatoes.
Don’t compare apples with oranges.
Yes, strawberry harvesters on on the way, but they aren’t here in 2020.
Yes they are. They plant the berries on a raised bed shaped similar to concrete highway dividers, the vines hang down and the same kind of flail they use to pick grapes harvests them. I also saw a brief glimpse of a berry picker selecting single berries. Notice that most of the harvester videos on YouTube are a year or two old.
Did you notice how the harvest root plants? How about corn that the run a harvester maybe 30 foot wide and the machine deposits the shucked corn in a bin and leaves the ground clean.
Granted the small farmer cannot compete with Multi-million dollar machines and they likely will fail, can't be helped, or prevented. Mechanization killed the slave industry of cotton picking, it will do the same to small farmers, who use slave labor from Mexico.
