R2Kast 367 – Kit Franklin on hands-free farming, ag engineering, and the power of networks
Description
Today we welcome Kit Franklin to the R2Kast! 🎙️
From Harper Adams student to the world’s first autonomous farmer, Kit’s story blends big ideas with bigger fields. As co-creator of the Hands Free Hectare and Hands Free Farm projects, he’s shown that automation in agriculture isn’t decades away – it’s already here. 🤖🌾
A lecturer, public speaker, and president-elect of the Institution of Agricultural Engineers, Kit is passionate about bringing young people into ag engineering and building networks that last. We talk about his Brash Ag podcast, the importance of collaboration, and how professional accreditation can open doors.
There’s also a look at funding, farm tech adoption, and why good board work is more than just sitting round a table. 🚜💡
Enjoy! 😊
