“It’s no secret we’re facing a serious labor shortage in agriculture so seeing companies devote time and funding to new technology is welcomed.”
I didn't realize there was a labor shortage. The way people talk (at least in the northwestern United States)—and our current president—it sounded like there were plenty of people doing this kind of work, many of which from Mexico.

Then push for new laws that makes bringing in foreign workers easy like many rich middle eastern countries and many European countries have done. Why do you want people to break the laws instead? How is it better in any way?
