This week Ray and Kit sit down with Tom Beach, founder of Autonomous Agri Solutions and CTO of Bare Acres. Tom shares his journey from growing up on his family’s Warwickshire farm and working in the farm shop at weekends, to navigating education and turning his dyslexia into a superpower on the path to agricultural engineering.

He tells the story of how a chance meeting at Agritechnica led to importing the Robotti robotic farming platform into the UK, and gives his take on the Robots as a Service model after rolling it out with UK farmers. He explains how he was able to grow out a service and support offering for new and emerging tech being imported under the A.A.S brand.

Tom also gives the co-hosts an exclusive look into his latest venture, Bare Acres – a dedicated launch pad, test space and hub for global ag-tech in the UK. Alongside Bertie Phillips and Archie Hawkins. Tom shares how this could provide the starting point for a technology adoption based venture fund!

A conversation full of grit, insight, and big visions for the future of farm automation. 🚜🤖
