Future Farming won’t Need Humans, Researcher Says

[Reaganwuzthebest]

You can be sure the illegal alien lobby in Washington (aka the Chris Cannon brigade) will do everything in their power to stop any federal support of mechanization. Unless there's a reason, however phony, for example the need for farm labor, then amnesties become more difficult. Illegal aliens use farm work as a steppingstone to get in, then move on to all those other jobs we won't do, like carpentry, construction, flying airplanes etc. Mechanization would take that away from them.

Very interesting article that you posted sars in reply #595.

There was no date when it was published but even the most "optimistic" forecast was that "maybe" that 10% of the Washington state apple crop would be automated in 8 years(2010).

Who picks the other 90% of the crop or would you let it rot on the tree?
