Which brings us to problems on the other side of it: A lot of smaller- and medium-size operations don't *want* to mechanize because the equipment manufacturers are increasingly hostile to deal with. John Deere has spent years trying to make farmers unable to even repair their own machinery. Nearly all the non-amish farms around here use illegals, and most of them use decades-old equipment, and the above problem definitely contributes.
Complex problems unfortunately don't have simple one-step solutions. Took decades to get us to where we are and it'll take a long time to un-screw it if sufficient desire to do so even materializes.
