Farmers look to artificial intelligence as workforce declines
Under the hot Florida sun, hundreds of strawberry pickers dot the rows of Wish Farms. It is back-breaking labor as the pickers fold their bodies to lean over the plants. Their hands skim through the leaves to find the bright ripe strawberries. With a flick of their wrists they pop the berry from the stem, carefully making sure not to tear the plant. A strawberry plant has a ripening cycle that's much different from other fruits; every three days it will give off new ripe fruit.
