4yrs ago today I met my co-founder @bcsr. In 2017 I was on my farm with no clear idea about how we were going to make the changes we needed to adapt for the future. 4yrs on together we’ve created @smallrobotco with an amazing team of over 40 people. Here’s to 4 more (at least!)
Thanks @Agri_Tech_E - we've appreciated your support from the start!
Congratulations to @smallrobotco on achieving their target & more!
Watching closely for exciting developments moving forward.

.@SmallRobotTom being very cool doing his demo today @Groundswellaguk ……another step nearer “per plant farming” for regenerative agriculture. Great to catch up with @samjwj @SarraMander and the SRC team, and admire the new branding!

Three farming robots - named Tom, Dick and Harry - work together to kill weeds without using chemicals.
Tom scans field to collect data, which is used by Dick to zap weeds with electricity, before Harry plants seeds in the weed-free soil. cnn.it/3zOAl3F
Tests so far indicate no negative impacts - the charge is through a very specific point initially and then dissipated through the soil at levels that are not harmful. But something we will continue to test because improving soil health is key
Great to catch up with everyone again!
Fabulous to hear from @MarkISutherland @GBinMissouri introduced by the fab @EmmaFletcherUK @SmithsonHill ...great #AgEevent and good to meet @samjwj @smallrobotco @GoAccucare @MoAgriculture @CranfieldUni @VerticallyUrban @AmerenMissouri @TyndallCentre
Great to hear @LEAFchief on @BBCFarmingToday this morning discussing a global farm sustainability metric. GREAT IDEA! Wouldn’t it be good to see UK farmers and UK tech leading the way? Detailed, reliable on the ground measurement is essential to building trust #4AR
UK regulator gives green light to delivery drone trials via @FT
Interesting developments for
UK logistics but also for UK farming which stands to benefit from drones flying beyond line of sight.
World is full of opportunities for ag tech! #4AR on.ft.com/2QE3Rqu
This is an inspirational and visionary founder truly doing something transformative in the food industry. Great listen. @AgFunderNews @joshtetrick. It will take lots of new tech to create #4AR overcast.fm/+Nq7c_H4UA
