Episode 71: How robots can make us better farmers with Andrew and Jocie Bate

25 Jun 2025

Description

Join us for a conversation with Andrew and Jocie Bate, the farmer-founders behind SwarmFarm Robotics, an Australian agtech company revolutionising the way we farm. Their lightweight autonomous robots, which are already working across millions of acres, are helping growers do more with less: less chemical use, less soil compaction, and less time spent in a tractor cab. Together, Andrew and Jocie share the story of building SwarmFarm from scratch, how robotics is bringing back old farming practices with a modern twist, and why autonomy is not about replacing people but empowering them. We dive into the evolving identity of the modern farmer, the return on investment robots are already delivering on-farm, and how this technology is unlocking new roles, new efficiencies, and a more diverse future for agriculture.   Disclaimer The information provided in this podcast is general in nature and does not in any way constitute financial, investment, accounting, tax, or legal advice.
