Name oneThat's great for large fields of grains, not so good for fragile veggies and fruits.
This is a frequent argument the left likes to toss out when it comes to regulating immigration. If we put an end to the flow of illegal immigration the crops won't get picked and lettuce will cost $5 a head. What it means is that farms, which are largely corporate owned these days, would have to pay the "living wage" the left simultaneously claim everyone deserves, but the living wage is apparently only for white people. The brown people can do the "slave labor" under the table so white elitists in Connecticut can get their $2 heads of lettuce.

Let's look at the big picture.Name one

Totally not the point I was making.They dont deserve wage protection
Nope. Not anymore. Mechanized harvesting is increasing, per your article. Most harvesting today is mechanized because hand labor is just too expensive. There is insurance, food, break times, injuries. Just providing Porta pottys is an avoidable expense.Let's look at the big picture.
Summary
"The hand harvesting of fruit and vegetable crops in the United States is a labor-intensive operation that accounts for about 50 percent of total production costs. The number of crops and percentage of crop acreage that are mechanically harvested today have increased somewhat since the late 1970s. Most of these crops are used for processing. However, at least 20 to 25 percent of the U.S. vegetable acreage and 40 to 45 percent of the U.S. fruit acreage is totally dependent on hand harvesting. The crops represent about 30 percent of the U.S. fruit, nut, and vegetable acreage and have an annual farm-gate value of over $13 billion. Declining labor availability and increasing labor costs are reducing U.S. growers competitiveness with foreign suppliers. Harvest mechanization and improved production technologies show promise for keeping U.S. growers in business."
Alternatives to Immigrant Labor?
In arguing for expanded agricultural guestworker programs, lobbyists for farmers often claim that fruit and vegetable production in the United States would be impossible without large and continuing infusions of foreign labor.
Please don't cite the Center for Immigration Studies. It's not like they aren't biased or anything like that.Let's look at the big picture.
