Description

Business, drones and…robots?!Today we welcome someone who I wrote about during my masters a fair old bit! Sam Watson-Jones started the Small Robot Company.  A business aimed at creating a system where per plant farming can treat a field as a million plants instead of a field.  This means less requirements for chemical and fertiliser, just where and when it’s required…think of it as a very specific variable rate technology!  This month unfortunately SRC had to go into liquidation with various investors seeing it as being to far ahead of the rest of the market as is.Sam is now deducting his Nuffield scholarship to per plant precision!Very interesting chat with someone I’ve been a massive fan of for some time!Enjoy!  Hosted on Acast.
