We took the podcast on the road to the Great Lakes Tek Flex event, where we had the chance to sit down with two companies bringing some really interesting technology and equipment to specialty crop agriculture: Ecorobotix North America, Ecorobotix and Farm Depot.

🤖 ecoRobotix is focused on precision agriculture and ultra-high-precision spraying technology, helping growers target applications more accurately while reducing inputs and improving efficiency.

🚜 Farm Depot is bringing a different piece of the puzzle to the table helping farmers find and access equipment, technology, and solutions that can make day-to-day farming more efficient and productive.

In this episode, we talk with exhibitors, growers, and event staff about the technology being demonstrated at Tek Flex, what it means for specialty crop growers, and where agriculture is headed next.

A big thank you to Ecorobotix and Farm Depot for being part of the conversation and helping make this episode happen!

And of course, thank you to Nichino America for sponsoring The Specialty Crop Cast in 2026!

When you’re working around the farm, the little things that make a job easier go a long way. 👊

The thumb-action trigger on the SureCan makes fueling up equipment simple, and the durable design is built for the kind of work we do every day.

Always nice to find tools that make getting the job done a little easier!

There’s a certain kind of magic in an apple orchard just before harvest. 🍎

The color is right, the trees are loaded, and the rows are full of Jonagolds just waiting to be picked.
