they can do it with tomatoes.
the technology is there, machines can be very percise. they have machines that allow doctors to perform a procedure on a patient such as heart operations from very far distances. The doctor could be at a hospital in AZ, and peform the operation on someone in Boston. thats pretty delicate if you ask me. if you can do that with machines, I think they can make a machine that can pick produce. someone really smart is going to make a lot of money off this situation. I'm sure there are already machines that can already do this work on farms.
