      As a child, forty something years ago we had cornfields near our home and my Dad used to take me to watch the harvesting.
      As an adult, 50 in November, I still love to watch it especially in the dark.

    Your films are a joy and remind me of my Great Uncles farm in Somerton, Somerset who was very traditional in that everything was from horse dawn days plus a threshing machine and several very elderly Fordson tractors, one or two of which worked! In the 1950,60’s it was a picture book but probably highly inefficient. He never worried..as long as they had something to eat, he didn’t care. I wish I had pictures to show but Harry...keep cutting, ploughing and seeding...it makes us feel good! 😀😀😀😀

    Another cracking video with equally exciting commentary. Latest we went on night was 04.30 am. Spring barley, moisture was low, straw didn't get damp, boss gave us a choice: to stop late night or keep going because he would have to pay us at the week end anyway. We kept trosh'in. Had a slight rain which cause straw to wrap around header. Moisture still good. Finnish the whole lot by 20.00 the following day (Friday). Thanks Hugh & Darren!

    We had a combine going up and down the field next door to us a week or two ago, leaving its usual trail of clouds of dust that got everywhere, covering our house and garden as usual.
    At least now I have an understanding of what’s involved and it’s absolutely fascinating.
    It’s really good of you to go to the trouble of explaining this to all of us who know absolutely nothing about farming.

    I'm a truck driver. A few years ago i gave the bulker job a go just at harvest time. I enjoyed collecting the wheat from the farms but delivering it to the mills etc was a nerve wracking time. They test the moisture content at every delivery point and are happy to reject it if they don't like it. Fortunately i didn't have many problems.

    My wife and her mum grow rice in Thailand. Fifteen years ago, dozens of people would turn up to help hand harvest the crop. As factories moved into the country it ended up with three of us taking almost three months to do the crop; people were busy in the factories. Finally, I persuaded them to rent a combine harvester service . Instead of three months the crop was cut in less than a day. One thing was pretty much guaranteed - it was not going to rain for several more months.
