Theoretically those jobs would be pushed into distribution, which the article seems to hint at, large amount of small automated farms spread out, rather than small amount of large farms concentrated, could mean more jobs on the middle and tail end of the supply chain.
Tbh, I have my doubts it would play out like that, but it does seem they're conscious of it, at the very least.
