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

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

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.
