    For a good wage, they would. And for the most part, crops are mechanically harvested.

      How good a wage do you think farmers could afford to offer? They aren’t billionaires.

        If they can’t pay a fair wage, they shouldn’t be in business. They’ll have to up prices.

        Would you rather prices go up a tiny bit, or continue to not pay living wages? It’s the same thing as with fast food workers and the $15 min wage.

          A tiny bit? You have no idea how agriculture works.
