Is there really a market for a €90,000 blackgrass-detecting drone? Are German manufacturers taking the UK market seriously? Is a farmer-built RTK network one of British agtech's best-kept success stories?

This week Ray and Kit bring you Chapter 2 of their Cereals 2026 adventure, featuring five fascinating interviews from across the show.

They catch up with:

Finlay Russell of NoFence, discussing how virtual fencing technology is helping livestock farmers adopt regenerative farming practices and manage grazing more effectively.

Mark Arnold of RTKFNet, sharing the story behind the UK's farmer-built RTK network, how it has grown, and how the technology is expanding beyond agriculture into new industries.

Oliver Watson of Amazone UK, explaining why Amazone is investing heavily in the UK market and what they hope to learn from showcasing a prototype machine at Cereals.

Zoe Rühlmann of SAM Dimension GmbH, introducing SAM Cam AI, a drone-mounted scanning system designed to detect, map and quantify blackgrass infestations with remarkable precision.

James Everitt-Car of Techneat Engineering, discussing the evolution of intelligent spot spraying, from machine-learning systems targeting weeds on hard surfaces to tractor-mounted sprayers capable of detecting and treating weeds in-field.
