Kit went to the 60th @KYNFMS last week. Listen to the latest episode to hear some #AgriTech #Engineering highlights: 70. Kit's on the pull for AgriTech at the National Farm Machinery Show youtu.be/g5-YdDd3c0c?si… via @YouTube

Pleasure to share my "Letter from America", written for the @IAgrE, which was waiting for me in print when I got #homeforchristmas!

A highly insightful interview with Trivikram, I am sure there is lots to take away. But for me its that he saw his weakness in ag expertise so sort out those that could help early on. To many #AgriTech startups think they know what Ag needs when really they don't! #AgTech #Robots

@EmmaforWycombe Any thought about Ag Engineers at the table? I imagine many of the potential "investments" may involve engineering solutions be it machinery, digital, infrastructure, civil (soil and water) etc. Might be useful to understand what is actually feasible cut through the hype. @IAgrE

It will bring together senior leaders from farming, food production, retail, finance and government to remove barriers to investment, boost farm profits and increase resilience. (2/5)

@Minette_Batters' Farming Profitability Review is an important report underlining the need to work more closely with the farming sector. Today I am launching a Farming and Food Partnership Board giving the sector a voice at the heart of government. gov.uk/government/new…

Very pleased to share the publication of "Hands free Hectare: The Heuristics of the first arable crop produced by robots" doi.org/10.1016/j.atec… A paper describing the research approach and key outcomes of Hands @FreeHectare @HarperAdamsUni …

Cultivation autonomously @FreeHectare for the next season of strip cropping yesterday.

Like it or not we farm in an engineered environment. To neglect that engineering is to accept loss of farmable and productive land. Was that neglect conscious decision or unseen consequence or just forgotten?

We need to talk about field drainage. More specifically, how it delivers not just for productivity but also for the environment. This new project @AllertonProject aims to get the issue back on the political & supply chain agenda. fwi.co.uk/arable/land-pr…

Ben's work ethic reminded me so much of the early days and can do attitude of the Hands @FreeHectare. When @AgRobotJon & @MartinAbell24 were pulling tech together to make our @iseki_uk come alive! This little Leyland Tractor certainly has a new lease of life. #OpenSource #HFHa

Brash Ag August News Feed now avaliable. Update on the L&Aser story, the sad ending to @VapormaticParts (@JohnDeere), UK national security in steel and what the Humanoid Games means for #Agritech and Ag #robotics. Listen on all main platforms.

Was great to chat to Wallace on the Rural to Kitchen Pod. Talking #HFHa, #Agritech, @IAgrE, @BrashAgri and why we need people to study Ag Eng @HarperAdamsUni open.spotify.com/episode/1imBhA…

This weeks highly insightful episode Chews the Cud with entrepreneur & engineer Christopher Laudando of Laudando & Associates LLC. Chris shares his career from mechanical engineering degree through serial #Agritech start up founder & sadly to his current #laserweeding IP battle.

On this week's @BrashAgri podcast I got my Hands @FreeHectare co-creator Jonathan Gill on to reflect upon 10 years since we coined the name and concept of #HFHa Search "Brash Ag" on @Spotify @ApplePodcasts @YouTube etc!

It has been show season on the #BrashAg podcast with reports & interviews from @CerealsEvent & @Groundswellaguk ready to listen to now on all the main Podcast platforms. Need to know what Brash Ag is? This is what @ChatGPTapp had to say:

They brag about size, we focus on skill, A humble box drill with autonomous will. Less cash, more crop - that’s how we compete, Quietly disrupting history's repeat. #AgTwitter

Come along with @MSFarmBureau board members on their tour at @msstate today - exploring the latest in spray drones, wood identification, aquaculture and even new ice cream flavors! @MSU_AG @AgAutonomy

See ya later Charlock, ya jerk. 🤖👌🏻

Truly well deserved recipients of @IAgrE Awards gather outside @AGCOcorp UK for a photo in the sun! Great to see the @HarperAdamsUni winners both Engineering students and staff!
