FAS TV S6 Episode 3
Developed by Soils Essentials, the SKAi spot sprayer is an advanced AI-powered system designed for precision weed control.
On this week’s FAS TV, contractor Richard Young shares his insights on the potential benefits of this technology. We also hear from Peter Beattie, Monitor Farm Facilitator, and Calum Smith of Auchernack Farm at the Strathspey Monitor Farm, as they explain how the system is being used in practice to target docks and other weeds more effectively.
FAS TV covers a wide range of topics across sectors, as well as regular updates on regulatory and policy changes.
In the latest Thrill of the Hill, we talk about one of Scotland’s most iconic groups of farmland birds – our waders.
Species such as lapwing, curlew, redshank and snipe have long been part of the Scottish farming landscape. Their calls and displays are synonymous with springtime on farms and crofts across the country, yet many of these species have experienced significant declines over recent decades.
Toby Wilson from RSPB Scotland joins us to discuss what is driving these changes, what practical management can help reverse them, and how current funding schemes can support farmers and crofters who want to make space for nature alongside productive agriculture.
