Something you forgot is that the robots the farmer buys has a cost, too.

Only if those robots weren't built by other robots.

That's not an oversight, that's you once again forgetting what "fully automated future" means.

Why would they automate their whole work force and lower food prices so that their profit margin stays the same. The answer is, they wouldn't. That's bad business.

Again, you seem to have a striking lack of business acumen (maybe don't go to your mother for future lessons if this is any indication of what she imparted). Profits can still rise without profit margin changing if you sell more units.

If Farmer Brown is suddenly able to undercut every other farmer in the area thanks to his automated workforce, he will enjoy increased profits even if his profit margin is unchanged from what it used to be.

You have places like In-N-Out which kinky order from a certain place.

I almost want to ask what you meant by this sentence, but I'm afraid I would learn a lot more about your personal tastes than I care to...

Animal feed will still cost money since it's bought from the store.

Unless it's produced by robots owned by the farm.

Even if you have a robot vet, you still need to buy the medicine.

Unless it's synthesized by the robot vet using materials it harvested itself.

Even with a robot butcher, you need to buy a butchering set for it to use.

Unless it makes one for itself.

And that also means buying those robots to do that stuff.

Unless you have another robot that will make them for you.
