Welcome back to Brash Ag – the farm innovation podcast with your hosts Ray King and Kit Franklin. This week, we’re still roaming the Cereals 2025 show – diving into some of the most exciting tech on display.

In Part Two, we explore:

🛩️ AutoSpray Systems – the drone company promising , 20-hectare/hour slug pellet coverage, 30-second pit stops and flight training through Harper Adams University to get farmers flying XAG drones in under a week.

🌿 Crop Angel – flying the flag for DJI spray drones, driven by a desire to have eyes in the sky and the ability to establish cover crops before harvest has even started.

⚡ Garford x RootWave – a serious bit of kit bringing 6000V to precision weed control in the UK and a $15 Million funding milestone for rootwave that is poised to take electric weeding to the next level.

🌱 Zürn – mechanical weed seed harvesting in full swing with the Top Cut Collect weed seed harvesting as well as hammer mill technology that promises to destroy weed seeds as they pass through the combine.

🛠️ And we wrap up with HORSCH – talking direct drills, precision sprayers, and the importance of thinking about profit vs yield in a changing economic climate.
