      Quite often in films and books farmers are often depicted as dumb guy with funny twang accent. Also farmers are also depicted in the picture above. Yea it’s trying to say all labor is skilled labor but hey OP felt the need to include farmers in the picture.

      Not the farm owners. They are usually the capitalists.

      But “everyone” picking manually asparagus or strawberry or wine grapes is usually from a low income country or an illegal work, working for pennies.

      In the past there probably was more manual labor that couldn’t be automated, so there were many jobs in farming that would be considered unskilled. I would guess that there are many fewer jobs like this now.
