> People say they want organic, but then they balk at the price without realizing how much labor goes into it when you're not just spraying to control weeds... My hope is that robots will not just save but boost organics, for the same reason solar and wind ultimately defeat fossil fuels for most use cases: they swap an op ex for a cap ex. Actually it's not just "same" reason: farming already requires mastery of cap ex, and the US tax code (at least) grossly favors cap ex. So the tax system is already biased to replace pesticides and labor when robots catches up.
