Rural Kansas is dying

If only we could automate the attribute of "being a human". Alas, as I often say, "as long as humans exist, there will be a demand for other humans to explain things to them". Thus a machine picks the berries while a human explains their feelings about the berries.

Could not the human do both, and take the job back from the robots?

Have you picked berries for hours on end? It's terrible work.

Have you ever had to put 45 cases of cans on a shelf in an hour? Sorry for the "what about ism". There are some jobs that I wish automation would take, since they are so thankless.

I feel like both of our points are valid :)

Yeah, and one of them should berry picking, because it sucks to do.
