There is still a scuffler on my family farm. I don't think I've ever seen it in use, but if it came down to using it again, it would just mean that I would spend more time in the field and less time programming, my other career. It wouldn't necessarily translate into more jobs for 'unskilled' people. Not that I would consider scuffling a unskilled job in the first place. You've got to keep it within that tiny window between rows, which is not exactly easy in the absence of robotics (which does make that point easier, and about the only way it is still done today; frequently with edible beans) but the logical conclusion to that is, again, not employing people.
