Welcome everyone! The name is Alan, a dairy farmer, machinery enthusiast and photography fan living in Co. Cavan Ireland.
I hope to combine my love for my work along with my love for photography and farm machinery and equipment to make a few videos of daily life and all its ups and downs. I hope the standard of my videos improves as time goes as I am fairly new to this crack!!
A simple dairy herd of 54 cows in a spring calving system. A Massey Ferguson man with 3 of them currently on the farm 35, 4355 and 6480.
Photography equipment is a DJI mavic mini drone and a GoPro 10 camera and iphone 12.

TEDDING USING GPS/ TOPPING RECOMMENCES AND GRASS GROWING AGAIN
Hi all and welcome back to Drone Dairys and my apologies on the delay between the videos.
As we approach mid August it’s time to focus on grass management and slurry. Growth has improved greatly and it’s time to start cleaning up paddocks again with the disc mower. We also keep experimenting with the Gypsy Technologies GPS tractor guidance system as we ted hay for a customer.

A big shout out and thank you to John Kelliher and all team at Gypsy Technologies. They have very kindly offered me a free trail of their amazing GPS tractor guidance system. I am very grateful to them for giving the opportunity and experience to try out their product. In this video I am installing it into the tractor and giving it a go as I spread fertiliser.

TOO MUCH GRASS AND NIOT ENOUGH EITHER
มุมมอง 6Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Battling the worst summer ever for grass growth to try and keep the cows munching on grass. In comparison the heifers on the out block have far too much in front of them. Is zero grazing an option? Are us farmers carrying too much stock for the ever changing climate ? # #cavanfarmer #masseyferguson #dairyfarmer #farming #agriculture #dronedairys #grass

Cracking video as always lad
Great video keep it going great to see you
Great video. Next step will be auto steer 🤔🤔. I use lupo spray for the ragwort around april, may. It works well and I get a few years out of it. Have you enough of feed done for the winter
Nice to have you back again. Almost 3k subscribers! If you use # hash tags before each description it will bring the TH-camrs when they do a search. Once they get to your site they can subscribe and give you a thumbs up. Example #Tedding # GPS, Massey tractors, making hay, etc...
Absolutely brilliant video. It seems easy enough to use we must get one ourselves it would probably pay for itself in a short time and brilliant for sowing just cut ground and spraying
Thank you for watching lad. Yes it’s a brilliant device. My best video has a bit more on it too. Very good for sowing a bare field. You’d be surprised the amount of fertiliser we all waste by overlapping. Email my and we will organise meeting up and you can try out the gps for yourself.
@@dronedairys7461 that sounds great
Hi lad that was a great job on your land and great video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks lad
Alan what's the model of your battery booster pack
It’s a noco GBX155. A very good yoke
Great video. The technology fair makes the job a lot easier
Thank you lad
A fair handy yoke. Best place to mount the screen is on the front window. It actually makes using it a whole lot easier
Man himself good see back action
There a great system Alan, love mine. “just a wee tip” turn your tablet around in the mount, the over hang on the mount should be at the top to block glare from the sun. 👍
Cracking video as always
Well done great video great to see you keep it going
Good to see you again ✔️
Good stuff
Interesting video
Im beginning to think this country is cursed,its damned everyway
Grand batch of heifers.
Hi lad that was a great video of your fresion heifers and great job on the land to them is great fresion heifers and good AAX or limousines bull to your working very hard on the land 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ya it's shocking year for weather and for grass growth all we farmer's stay strong 💪
Stay strong surely. Nature will always look after itself eventually. Nobody will starve.
Great video Alan well explained growth awful poor hopefully your hair doesn't take as long to grow back or you'll be cold for the winter😂
😂😂😂 if the hair is as slow as the grass I may sell my comb!! That’s a Cavan man’s hair cut 😂😂
Terrible year ( 2 years actually ) First too wet,then too cold,now too windy and dry ! 🙄 Cant win
Yes climate change must be showing the effects.
Globel warming ?? Is the weather not ment to be getting warmer ???
@@paulfinnan1984 I said climate change I didn’t say anything about warming 😂😂😂. You’re right it’s colder it’s getting. I remember as a child spending all summer with my parents making hay with a mf35 snd a buck rake and a pitch fork. Now we can’t get a few days to get a chance at hay.
Farmer Phil and Father Phil and family are the best in World 🌎 Got it.
Without a doubt.

Well done Well explained keep head up it will get better
Thanks lad

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from farming it is that things can always get worse, it’s 12 months of poor weather and grass growth, the rest of the year could be rubbish, who knows. Lots of farmers are well sick of farming now.
Sick of it surely buts it the nature of the farmer to fight on and not let it beat ya. Thanks for your support and comments
Good video a lot covered
Thanks. I try to vary it. Can be hard at times
Always enjoy your videos. Your honesty and saying it as it is. Keep up the good work lad
Thank you very much for your kind comments lad. I’ll keep doing the videos as long as they are wanted and I have content for them.
Nice Angus bull
Thank you. Bought him 5 years ago, considering changing him for next year
It's a real feast or famine year. I made a few bales because paddocks were gone too strong. 2 weeks later I was feeding them. Pure disaster of a grass year. Second cut for bales is very slow growing
Yea I think I’ll be dipping in to my paddock bales too. Very tough times. It will improve.
@dronedairys7461 hard to build a silage surplus this year. There's a great shine off your heifers. Look well
Grass grows when the soil temp is above 60 degrees and the sun, both makes Grass grow.
60 degrees? You hardly ever have soil that warm in this country
Stay positive
80 and90.degrees here.n y.could do that.over.thire fire up.grass ya
Growth is very bad at the moment.the dry weather and this hard beeeze is killing it.its hard goin at the moment to try and have grass in front of animals.any left over bales from last year is a welcome guest now.hopefully things will change soon.
Things would want to change soon. Because after two bad years how much more can farmers take
Good man himself hope all good happy farming
All good. Thank you.

Great video, lovely Valtra , is she yours ? 👌🏻
No. A good neighbour and friend, David
Have u still the big field near Ballyhaise. Didn't see it in video. Thought you had owned that
No. It was a good field of ground but I got a bit of land closer to home.
Cracking video. Silage 2024 has begun. The last part is always the most difficult. The covering of the silage pit.
Thanks for your support lad
Great to have it in and done Alan 👏
Sure is Adrian.
Great Job 😄👍
Thanks
The silage is always a big day. My cut last year was terrible but it was a lot better this year. No 2 years the same. Hopefully the growth will return. I never heard of any bvd cases for years and now I'm after hearing of a few. More hardship on the farmer . Great video
Still no growth Gerry
