## Reel transcript excerpt
The reel says Dyson is "quietly dominating farming," that it built strawberry farms as a project, expanded after success, uses enclosed greenhouses/polytunnels, and produces "two and a half times" faster/better with near automation.

## Key verified points
- Official Dyson page says Dyson Farming's 26-acre glasshouse in Lincolnshire has 1,225,000 strawberry plants and produces over 1,250 tonnes of British strawberries.
- Official page says the Hybrid Vertical Growing System trial boosted yields by 250% while optimizing fruit quality.

## Evidence boundaries
- The reel's "dominating farming" phrase is an overstatement; the verified story is a notable Dyson-controlled-environment strawberry technology trial/rollout.
- No public source found showing Dyson Farming is selling/licensing HVGS turnkey into Canada as a product. Canada route should be framed as inquiry/partnership or build-similar-tech diligence.
