As Christmas comes closer, Agronomist & Arable Farmer brings you the gift of a brand-new episode of our monthly podcast, Arable Chat.
In this month’s episode, John Swire, Agronomist & Arable Farmer editor, is joined by guests Jonathan Gill, Mechatronics & UAS Researcher at Hands Free Farm at Harper Adams to talk about the Hands-Free Tractor, Hands Free Farm and robotic farming as a whole.
Hands Free Farm (HFF) features automated machines growing crops autonomously, without operators in the driving seats or agronomists on the ground.
Jonathan delves into the challenges HFF have faced, the future of the company and humorous anecdotes.
