Years ago I was working at a vineyard and talked to the guy about his laborers. He said that years ago the white kids would still pick grapes as it didn’t require stooping down or using laters - the fruit was pretty much right in front of you.
But now (well, 10 years ago I suppose) he said that he can only get Mexicans to do the work.

A friend owns a vineyard and winery...
Grape picking machines are popular but, the rows need to be further apart and a turning area at the end of the rows. About half the grapes per acre and the cost of the machine.
He retired and the kids didn’t want it.
Forsale, such a deal!
