AUTOMATION FOR LABOR DAY: A massive rise in the popularity of self-driving farm tractors is predicted, as “California State Assembly recently passed a bill that received minimal recognition by the press, outside of the state, but has substantial negative consequences for basically everyone in the country.  Once signed by Jerry Brown, the bill, known as AB 1066, will make California the only state in the entire country to provide overtime wages to ag workers after 8 hours a day or 40 hours per week.  This change will add about $1.7BN annually to the cost of growing food in California which will ultimately be passed along to consumers.”
