Don’t get me wrong we’d rather be doing something fun off the farm spending time with family but farming on the weekends when you have to is peaceful. No 9-5 industry people bugging you constantly, no market distractions, just farming and your thoughts. #striptill

Listen to Spencer 👇👇👇 “Farmers are now having to pay inheritance tax on the farm. For a good example. The farm I mainly work on.. it's 550 acres. That's worth just shy of 5 million pounds before thinking about the machinery, houses and other assets. That's a small just about viable farm 550 acre farm. That's alot of assets but the farm is poor. There's not much pennies in the bank. When my employer dies his sons will have to pay 2 ½ million in tax to inherit the farm roughly ( I failed gcse maths by the way 😅) This simply isn't a number any farm can afford. The only way to pay that is crippling loans that his sons can't afford to pay back or to sell half the farm. If you sell half the farm. The farm isn't worth farming at 250 acres Can't make a living on half of their farm. So they would sell the lot. That then means in the first instance 5 jobs are lost. The future generations without a job. That's not taking into consideration the agronomist who is the crop doctor. Or the accountant who keeps the accounts in order. The seed and chemical companies who sell us the products. The Mills who use our wheat. The list goes on. This will happen to the majority of farming in the next 30 years because the average age of a farmer is in their 60s. We will see a total decimation of British farming. While I will never own a farm or inherit a farm this still effects me. The industry I've Been in since I could walk may vanish. Some monster sized farms like James Dysons will stand. But not the humble family farm. When I work on a family farm, I'm part of the family. We laugh together, talk about our lives, our family, we help each other out where we can. Favours without payments. When you join a family farm. You become part of the family. That's something I don't want to ever loose. If you can spare the time. Join me and hundreds if not thousands of farmers at Westminster on the 19th November. The nfu are holding an opening venue for 600. Register below if spaces are left. (If not, stand with us at Westminster shortly after) Please come with us and back british farming. Remember, no farmers no food no future. Best wishes Spencer Campbell” #SaveBritishFarming

Autonomous farming at Reservoir Farms in Salinas. When I got here joined a bunch of farmers from Florida who were visiting. But during the talks Bonsai Robotics caught my attention. One of the first to use world models to drive autonomous farm equipment. Here's their CEO, Tyler Niday, talking to me about what's going on in farming around the world. And of course we talk about world models. My favorite topic lately. They have robots farming in Australia and here in America in a variety of places. He ran autonomous tractors for John Deere USA for years. Reservoir Farms is an incubator—think of it like Y Combinator or Founders Inc., but for people who are making autonomous, AI-driven tractors and other farm equipment. It's a remarkable place. Worth telling anyone in farming about. Danny Bernstein 🍇🥬, who runs it, used to work at Google in high tech and got the bug to help startups hit the farming market. He has a fairly big plot of land to do all sorts of testing, demos, and development work here in Salinas, with about 40 acres of a variety of different crops. That is something you can't do in Silicon Valley anymore. It takes me back to my childhood when Silicon Valley used to be all farms. It was a lot of fun hanging out with the farmers. They'll be doing some events and hackathons down here. If you're from Silicon Valley, it's only an hour south, and I highly recommend coming down to see what's going on. The AI part of farming is very similar to building an autonomous car or truck, so the kinds of jobs are very similar. The market is just very different, and the kinds of things a robot needs to figure out are different. You might be picking apples or spraying crops. You don't have pedestrian traffic, maybe, but you have other kinds of things you need to train and model on to work around. Anyways, I had a beautiful day hanging out here.
