We -did- do it long ago, at least as long ago as the domestication of animals. We've been doing it ever since. I;m simply pointing out that field labor is resilient in ways that make it difficult for past, present, and reasonable near or mid term future automation to drastically effect it.
-We- lose those workers due to a very specific set of circumstance that are not present in the world as a whole..and do not seem to be likely to persist in our country specifically (imo). What we don't lose..though, is the -need- and cost for that labor..which steadily grows. That's why producers want to turn to robots. Here's a story about a berry picker, and driscolls (you've probably seen them in your local store). The trouble, ofc, is that even when technology exists, it is not and cannot be uniformly deployed. The trouble for ag automation goes much, much deeper than whether or not we can build a robot, which..honestly, again, we can;t -but we're working on it-...and that's my point.

For fun, let's try to sucker Vorlon in. I'm sure there's a machine or attachment he doesn;t have, something new and fancy.....that could conceivably reduce his human or machine labor costs. There's nothing that can do what I want to do..but there probably is something for him, with a more traditional model.
Why doesn't he own that item (not, specifically now, in that he; looking to retire or die..as it were ;
but why wasn't it purchased already?)
Similarly, but not specifically for vorlon, why do small shops employ more human labor, why is there less automation on their floor..even in heavily automated sectors?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
