Robot strip intercropping. Spring barley very hungry for manganese on this light soil. Wheat, oats, naked barley, linseed and lentils with herbal ley in the tramline strips.

POV: You're a visiting scholar, immersing yourself in the Mississippi culture.
One of the most recognized figures in the development of autonomous farming worldwide, Kit Franklin is wrapping up his time as a visiting agricultural engineer at the @msstate @AgAutonomy.
Check out some insightful Ag Articles including one from me in "Fields of Change" the-ies.org/resources/fields…

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=fpTu… 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
Great new episode with founder of Indian Ag Robot start up @xmachinesai

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.

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
Pod 48 explores the opportunity to electrify existing tractors and farm machinery with #Innovator Ben Bament of Somerset #EV.
Not only an interview but @Flynt_tech and @AgEngResearch get to take a drive to give there first impressions.

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

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!
