It’s not a stretch to say that US agriculture is one of the most automated industries out there. However, there are some higher-value ag sectors that will face significant labor challenges that automation might not be able to help with.

We’re talking about things like livestock, fruits, and vegetables, where mobility and delicate handling is required. Current machines can’t quite tick all those boxes, so doing a significant portion of the related tasks by hand is still the best option. We saw during COVID that incremental improvements could be made, but human labor is still vital (oftentimes immigrant workers).

Sectors heavily reliant on human labor and resistant to automation will see prices climb, especially as immigrant labor faces increasing barriers.
