This is an interesting article that takes a realistic look at a growing concern of increasing our use of the "precautionary principle" to affect policy. We don't have to look very far in the news to see some of the consequences...40 years of science confirming the safety of glyphosate thrown out the window, protesting farmers in Germany, etc. How should we be evaluating safety? Who should win in the risk vs. hazard argument?

Yesterday, as I was leaving Denver, I stopped by AION ROBOTICS to visit with Nicholas Nunno I'm in love with a #Robot. Yup, I said it, a Robot that was designed with ranchers and farmers in mind. I was skeptical at first because I saw robots as an intrusive distraction between a rancher and their connection to the animal and land. I was so very very very wrong. (tough to say) The Ranch Hand by Aion has flexibility and range. When you see Robots in agriculture, they are often designed for a particular task or purpose. But luckily, Nick has the mind of a polymath and designed his robot to be flexible for multiple uses in #Agriculture. This robot sparks my mind as a #rancher, before even seeing the #Ranch Hand in action, I could see that it was a platform that could help us solve many problems that we face on our ranch. Words can't begin to capture how excited I am to have robots become part of our daily operation. Aion's Robots will be disruptive in a very positive way
