Hey guys, Few comments about this topic been covered enough now. Completely get it and I agree, just thought this showed why it doesn’t go down when we are at low tide. Unless something new or exciting or a massive high tide (Which would be cool to see) happens we will not come back. Appreciate all comments good and bad. Feedback is great, that’s how we can grow 👍
The whole situation is fascinating and shows what you guys are up against. It lets us non farming folk into the problems you have and can understand the frustrations you encounter better. I really hope someone from the EA watched this and gets in touch.
You need to look into hiring a Dutch drainage engineer to do a survey of the drainage system.When the Somerset levels flooded a few years ago all the EA would do,was shrug and say "we can’t do anything about it. It will just have to flood." Until they were shamed into action by Dutch specialists.
@@andrewwoolley8726 how can they ban the press from speaking to someone? Unless it’s national security stuff which flooding isn’t they can’t mute reporters...?
@@ss14122 no source but farm some of the levels. The pub talk at the time was that all the Dutch engineers had to sign NDAs. They did produce a report however, not sure if it was ever released. But I don't see how the government could of kept that from public record. At the time unofficially the engineers were very confident that the drainage could be massively improved.
It's not just a case of what he say's makes sense, what he is saying is just pure common sense and as the Ginger Warrior said himself, it's not rocket science! Therefore, why does the EA find it so difficult to understand.
Tom love listening to your dad he is fill of knowledge...i am a civil engineer myself and guys like your dad are the people who you learn so much from on site...you can read every book and blitz every exam but experience and the common sense approach has to be learned for the wise heads...
Get a petition going tom and get the support of the whole village/town and affected farmers and keep going to the local councils and environment agency go all at once and give them no option but to listen and resolve the issue
That’s the problem with the EA it’s rammed to the rafters with ‘environmentalists’ and not people that know how to manage the land or know how the land was managed. They have little or no knowledge of how waterways affect farming, or in-fact are that worried about how it affects farming, they are worried though about the nesting season of the greater crested horn toed lesser spotted pink weasel. I’ve worked with the EA and can tell you for a fact, there understanding of waterways and the interaction with the land is minimal to say the least and interest in it is even worse.
Really feel for you. the whole situation with EA and Natural England is a disgrace as far as the waterways are concerned. It is happening all over the country.
I just love your dad! So full of knowledge! Don’t know much about farming, but sounds like education. All the people that make big decisions have no idea what the “real world “ is like!!! Enjoyed your video, Tom!
Great video keep up the good work you're doing a great service to all the other farmers who have flooding problems... Politicians always make decisions about things they know absolutely nothing about
I believe you have the perfect platform to bring this info to light and it is something that needs to be fixed so I wouldn't worry about us as you have plenty of other video's and you should continue this series so that you and other farmers in your area have something to reference when you try too get it fixed
Incredible educational videos! Thanks for the education on the water drainage issues. Totally makes sense and the visuals are very helpful. Explains a lot as to the water on your fields. Keep up the good work Tom and Ginge.
We had the same problem when I used to fly microlights. The airfield was at Ince-Blundell near Formby, and that had the drainage channels around the airfield and the farm fields, but like yours, they were full of water and so the airfield and farm fields were unusable a lot of the time. I thought the channels around the airfield just needed scraping out, but now watching this, I realize it was probably the same situation miles away that was backing it all up. Great Video and keep them coming. 👍👍👍
I didn't quite understand the first video on this problem. Todays video NAILED IT. Thanks Tom & Ginge for the follow up. Straightforward and Simple and such an easy (and cheap) solution to make so many lives better. Good Luck persuading the Environment Agency though - sadly I won't hold my breath.
I hope the environment agency are embarrassed by this and how much of a shambles they have become in this country for the bad work they continue to do to just plug problems short term , I bet they will just blame covid and other problems tho if they do answer to these videos
Maaybe just Maaaybe these farmers should get the opinion of a professional instead of speculating and talking out of their rear ends. Its so annoying watching young Tom listen to that old windbag of a ginger ramble on nearly incoherently
@@snarkymcsnarkles3493 it’s almost like toms day was around and farming when they used to dredge and were competent and were called the national rivers authority.
@@snarkymcsnarkles3493 you don’t need to, its already been proven that lack of maintenance by the EA causes issues, you only have to look at the somerset levels. they used to flood way worse than this, eventually after years of major floods and roads closed ,land knackered .they gave in ,and dredged and cleared the banks ,bet you’ll never guess what happened, no floods, ,few small fields but nothing like it used to.they are well aware , but budgets just don’t allow it as they have to commit to schemes that stop 20 or 30 posh sods houses from getting wet once in 10 years rather than protecting food production land.something tells me your a EA worker or one of those posh townies who want protecting.,sure you will be complaining when your eating imported chlorinated meat from the states when your local famers gone bust ,
@@snarkymcsnarkles3493 They've already asked the professionals to come and talk with them about it. Why do you watch their videos if you don't like them? They are talking about something that is affecting their own and their friends livelihood. What they are saying is common sense, that's how water works. If it gets stopped by improper design then debris and silt builds up. When debris and silt builds up then the water can't flow. There was definitely some flaw in the design of the pumping station that is causing their issues because they said its only been like this since the new pumping station has been put in. And yes it probably worked okay at first because it takes the debris and silt time to build up.
Great video, Tom. The Ginge is awesome in his knowledge about the environment, the EA should have him in to Consult. Looking forward to seeing the High Tide vid. 👍👏👏👏👏
Shut up, they know more about waterways and systems than any clown on TH-cam is gonna know. They cant predict how much rain is gonna fall. More rain is falling every year. They are dealing with water systems and that were in place years ago , since then more people are draining their land into these waterways , hence more water going in quicker, Toms Dad complained about them widening the drain at his farm (obviously to hold more water) now hes complaining that they’re not doing anything about it. You cannot just open the sluices
@Seamus Mullally it's going out into the sea realising the water from a stream is the same as pissing in the Atlantic ocean it will make no difference to the sea level
@Seamus Mullally what are you going on about ? All I said was WHY haven't the EA come and answered the questions . Watch the video , you can clearly see the issues being raised , Pembertons and their neighbours farm land is either flooded or flooding or just too wet most of the time to get on the land and the gates to release the water are practically closed .
I love your Ginger mad Dad!! He speaks so much truth, Charles the Prince of Wales needs to come for a visit and see what wonderful work your family is doing!! Going back to proper farming.
Hi Tom, I think these are important video, and I’m glad you let your dad explain it all so well. Farming is much more then just the cows....good luck with this and I sure hope someone sees this video who can make something change for the better.
I agree with ginger and I know his frustration back here in the states we endured two extremely bad floods. Our communities even got a petition to have our water ways drenched because so many families lost their homes and businesses to the flood. Over here they tell us the same thing about the wildlife the wildlife will adapt to the dredging. There should be a plan to fix waterways every so many years they should be saving money to fix these problems with no excuse . I hope they get your waterways straightened out I know how frustrating it can be I'm praying for you all that they get it sorted out soon. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😘😘
What a great Sunday morning video. A multi generational farmer who has never had to make his own way in the world crying that the government needs to do more for him. Thank you internet.
Everybody needs to post this video to the environment agency’s Facebook and Twitter pages,let’s get them recognising the issues that all the farms in the pembertons area are having
Tom, this does an excellent job of showing the Ginger Warrior’s explanation of the drainage issue. There is no reason for your land to be under water. The drainage system exists. It is not being utilized even minimally toward its capacity. Thank you both for taking the time to record and share it with your audience. Fascinating and easy to understand how a small adjustment to the management of the system could have an enormous positive impact on the entire area it is designed to serve.
If all the agencies that are involved had to compensate the farmers each time the land floods. They wouldn’t be long pulling the finger out. They don’t seem to think farming is a business. Yet if that McDonald’s beside you flooded it would be sorted the next day.🐮🐮🐮
Great vid again Tom always good to hear the ginger warrior have a rant and it be good to see if you get an official response to see what they have to say about a clear problem that effects so many people
love this kind of video Tom, the Ginge knows his stuff and hes a pleasure to watch... thank for giving up some of your day away from the farm to entertain us.
Yet another brilliant video, keep them coming. Not a farmer myself, I am finding it fascinating and the ginger guy explains everything in such a way that anyone can understand. Come on EA, these guys have worked the land for years, stop spending unnecessary money on things that you don't understand, ask the locals and sort it out right the first time. As ginger guy says "save the worms"!
Definitely NOT boring. Age and experience counts for nothing these days. Your Dad speaks plain and simple common sense. I hope the environment agency are listening and get on the problem.
Your dad is absolutely right. I keep saying all the rivers & canals need dredging it’s been years since they were done and every year floods & droughts get worse if the water can flow correctly you wouldn’t need all the flood defences some places have always flooded on occasion. Also look at the street drains when I was a kid you could look down it was dark but you could see the water and bottom now you look it’s thick black sludge silt build up. I think the EA should dredge all waters and watch as nature takes back over and shows us it can flow with no problem.
Next time on Tom Pemberton farm life Ginger Warrior gets in the ring with an environment agency representitive over drainage dispute🤣🤣🤣🤣more vids like this Tom
Thanks Tom for sharing your concerns along with your dad & having the courage to publish ... This is some fascinating work. Eventually, with patience, you will certainly receive some cooperation which leads to the drainage relief your area deserves. Tell’em to hurry up, though, so we can halt the distraction from our happy Pemberton Farm documentary series... Thanks again,
Be careful dad - that level of frustration will be bad for your stress levels ! Take care - great video that highlights local knowledge verses theory !
I dont know what other comments have been made Tom as there are too many to read but I would like to see it at high tide. M8 people have got to understand the issues you are facing so please do show us high tide.
Great video yet again mate. I really want to see high tide. Your dad has so much knowledge about everything we love hearing him on the videos. Keep it up mate👌
Great video Tom, the problem is nationwide. It's been neglected for so long, it's going to cost a fortune to remedy, all down to red tape & bureaucracy neglecting the issue for so long, it should go back to the old days when farmers had the powers & ability to maintain the drains, it's the farmers who know how the land works, not young university graduates that've never seen outside of a classroom. I'm hoping your videos on this issue go far & the EA & George Eustice get involved & actually do something. Try sending a link to the local MP to bring to the attention of them.
We have very high rainfall in Devon Tom, we're going to have to change how we farm going forward to try and future proof what we do, it's just something that has to happen now. No getting away from the fact it's getting wetter, have you guys got any ideas on how you might do the same. Good channel ,Cheers
Not boring Tom and dad! It needs high lighting as it affects not only yourselves but I would think many others upstream too. Have you made the EA aware you've made videos highlighting the problems? That may provoke them to get in touch with you. I doubt this is the only river with this problem in the country.
I SOOOO want to see you stepping into the deep side. Tie off so dad can pull you back but you just take a single step in to show how deep it is. Keep up the videos. This is what gets change happening and a fix getting pushed.
Physics and geography lessons in one 15 min video! I really hope this leads to a constructive discussion with EA. I’d love to see the water flowing and your land drained. I can’t imagine how frustrating this must be for you. Your dad’s oak tree metaphor is spot on!
You're getting lots of advice in the comments, but we're just hoping for an HEA. It's lots easier to do from our arm chairs. In my fantasy-fix, you gather the farmers together and just say "Never mind, we'll take it from here." Get your full-body-wellies on and get down there to have a look at what can be done. Really looking forward to seeing high-tide. Also want to have a closer look at those doors - I love the idea of Tom having a closer look, (SAFELY - thank you Andrew!). Love the drone shots! Very much enjoying this series. Somehow it's very compelling - we're all wanting to see a solution.
I love the comment from The ‘Mighty Ginger Warrior’ that if the farmers on the Fylde were managing the issue it would be sorted and they would be working to get it right! Government agencies have so much to balance and so many competing priorities so it would be very interesting if they would come and talk with you and TMGW. Another well made video that is informative and gets your point across.
This is part of farming and just as important to be aware of, please do the high tide. If nothing else it may get the necessary people to pull their fingers out to fix the problem.👌😉👌

This comment needs to be higher up!
If I remember correctly the press was banned from speaking to the head Dutch drainage engineer when they came over at that time.
@@andrewwoolley8726 how can they ban the press from speaking to someone? Unless it’s national security stuff which flooding isn’t they can’t mute reporters...?
@@andrewwoolley8726 not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source for that?

Should start a campaign on social media for the ea to be held accountable for the damage caused by them !!!!
I'd sign it!
And me farmer Leicestershire
Would it be possible to sue them for miss management and force them to do something?
@@noellemackay9327 thats exactly what i wondered as well. Sometimes you have to threaten their pocketbook before they gain sense!
The way the ginger guy explains it makes so much sense. I hope the environment agency gets in touch and listens to him. Cant wait to see high tide.

Tom you’re dad has so much knowledge and it’s very interesting how he shares it all with you’re followers.
Agree I just commented the same-ish thing lol.
Love Tom's dad.
Here before the grammar police.
COME ON EA! Engage with these blokes and get it sorted.
Yes, even if it's off camera: Tom will tell us the unbiased story
I fully agree.
EA are too busy doing lootboxes....
Tom love listening to your dad he is fill of knowledge...i am a civil engineer myself and guys like your dad are the people who you learn so much from on site...you can read every book and blitz every exam but experience and the common sense approach has to be learned for the wise heads...
Very true
If only everyone saw it that way
Get a petition going tom and get the support of the whole village/town and affected farmers and keep going to the local councils and environment agency go all at once and give them no option but to listen and resolve the issue
i agree
Same here get more locals on board
Absolutely love listening te ye dad. May he never,never loose his passion ❤
Your dad shoould be a consultant to the EA. Wise man! He knows the land.

I can listen to ginger guy all day,nothing but respect for you guys
That’s a very interesting subject Tom and your dad is very knowledgeable about it and it would be nice 👍 to see it at high tide too.
Hopefully going public like this will encourage all the farmers in your area to speak up and make a difference!
Great video keep up the good work you're doing a great service to all the other farmers who have flooding problems... Politicians always make decisions about things they know absolutely nothing about
Love listening to your Dad explain what’s happening to your environment. He has wisdom + knowledge 👍

A very interesting view on the pumping station
Not boring Tom and dad! It needs high lighting as it affects not only yourselves but I would think many others upstream too.
Have you made the EA aware you've made videos highlighting the problems? That may provoke them to get in touch with you.
I doubt this is the only river with this problem in the country.
I SOOOO want to see you stepping into the deep side. Tie off so dad can pull you back but you just take a single step in to show how deep it is.
Keep up the videos. This is what gets change happening and a fix getting pushed.
Physics and geography lessons in one 15 min video! I really hope this leads to a constructive discussion with EA. I’d love to see the water flowing and your land drained. I can’t imagine how frustrating this must be for you. Your dad’s oak tree metaphor is spot on!
Ginger is a very smart man. Love listening to him.
I hope someone from the EA comes forward to talk to you. I would love to hear them go up against your dad. His knowledge and enthusiasm is amazing. 👍
You're getting lots of advice in the comments, but we're just hoping for an HEA. It's lots easier to do from our arm chairs. In my fantasy-fix, you gather the farmers together and just say "Never mind, we'll take it from here." Get your full-body-wellies on and get down there to have a look at what can be done. Really looking forward to seeing high-tide. Also want to have a closer look at those doors - I love the idea of Tom having a closer look, (SAFELY - thank you Andrew!). Love the drone shots! Very much enjoying this series. Somehow it's very compelling - we're all wanting to see a solution.
Hi Tom i love you videos watch them when they come out
Ginge knows his stuff. He should advise the EA.
The ginger man knows his history of the land. Smart, wise, old man. Giod job, Dad.
I love the comment from The ‘Mighty Ginger Warrior’ that if the farmers on the Fylde were managing the issue it would be sorted and they would be working to get it right! Government agencies have so much to balance and so many competing priorities so it would be very interesting if they would come and talk with you and TMGW. Another well made video that is informative and gets your point across.
Great video tom, good to hear dads take on the environment agency's expert water system!! Get dad a 360 in im sure he enjoy cleaning it out.
This is part of farming and just as important to be aware of, please do the high tide. If nothing else it may get the necessary people to pull their fingers out to fix the problem.👌😉👌
Tom this was really interesting and would love to see it at high tide. But don't want you guys getting into bother. Great video Tom keep them coming
Great video Tom loving your videos a lot I drove past your farm today and I got so excited haha
Brilliant video Tom, thank you
Very interesting more of this content please
Best to you. Carefull.
