Mechanization Challenges for Delicate Crops in US Agriculture
Researchers from Michigan State University say crops that cannot be mechanized may vanish from consumer shelves due to cost competition. The Farm Index article cites electronic tomato sorters reducing 15 to 20 hand sorters, a cling-pea harvester needing 3 to 4 workers for 20 former hands, and an asparagus harvester handling six acres per hour versus 400 laborers. It notes tobacco harvesters could halve costs if larger acreages exist. The piece also notes the US as the third largest agricultural importer, after the UK and West Germany.
