In the age of automation, I'm sure there are picking machines that can do a lot of the heavy lifting. There are people that pull harvesters through fields with mules because it actually a better system than tractors. There is no reason a mule couldn't pull robotic cutters through a field 24 / 7. No human should do that and with no people you'd be free from field contamination from humans and their outhouse hygiene.
