It means we can keep our weight really light for a 24 meter boom, for example, we'll be eight ton loaded, so you can get on the ground nice and early. We don't want to go bigger because that's going away from where SwarmFarm began.  “The idea with the swarm is you've got lots of small, lightweight machines doing the job that you'd think of one big one doing. So the reason why we aren't going bigger is because we believe that you can do the same job with less horsepower and less weight.”  In our fourth episode of our series On the Horizon: Farm Tech,  Janine chats with SwarmFarm’s Bailey Kilpatrick about the company’s autonomous SwarmBots and how they are being used in different agricultural industries across Australia.  The discussion includes horsepower, cost, management, regulations, servicing and parts, connectivity requirements, average maximum hours per bot, training and attachments.  About Bailey Kilpatrick  Bailey Kilpatrick is SwarmFarm’s Portfolio Manager for Emerald.  Bailey is particularly passionate about the technology that Australian farmers are adopting on their farms which result in better farming decisions. Bailey has a broad depth of knowledge in the ag industry gained from living and working around Australia on various properties and holds a Bachelor of Agriculture.  You can find SwarmFarm on:  X: https://x.com/SwarmFarm  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/swarmfarm-robotics/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swarmfarmrobotics/  FB: https://www.facebook.com/swarmfarm   Helpful links:  https://www.swarmfarm.com/   https://www.swarmfarm.com/journey/  We would like to thank our sponsors GE Silos for making this episode possible.
