It’s Fieldays 2026 and there’s a new electric farm bike on the scene—the GalvBike. The conversation focused on why this tough, no-nonsense machine isn’t in the innovation tent, what sets it apart for dairy farmers, and how the team’s past experience shaped the brutal simplicity of the design.

A key theme that emerged was the value of validation from real farmers—and why the first production run is selling out fast. There’s advice for aspiring inventors and a random question thrown in as well.

Sam is onsite at Fieldays 2026, chatting with Harry from PostMate about their clever invention that makes fence post removal safer and faster.

We hear the backstory of how a Kiwi farmer turned a simple idea into a global product, and learn how a once potentially dangerous and time consuming job of fence post removal has been transformed into a fast and safe process, with examples of fence lines being pulled out in minutes.

There’s feedback from impressed farmers, talk of international expansion, and Harry answers one of our random questions.

All this and much more in this week’s episode.
