I just spotted this gem.

You might want to get in touch with one or two farm machinery manufacturers
and ask sales managers to name 10 crops they WISH could be harvested by
machines, because those sales managers' incomes would look mighty nice all
of a sudden if certain things could be picked by machines.


You might want to use a search engine.

First they would have to make a pepper plant where all the peppers ripen
at the same time.
Carrot, Beet, Parsnip, Turnip, Leek, Garlic, Onions, Potatoes,
Cabbage, more baseless claims on their website -
