Only Harry would turn up to show us some bales in a bloody Porsche. It is interesting to see the similarities and differences between the UK farms and our farms here in Oz. Thanks Harry.
Harry thank you so much for these videos. I've been dating a farmer for 12 months now and I knew very little about his work but I've avidly watched your videos and now I understand much more. Long way to go yet though😊
What a pleasure to see such an abundance of grain, grass and even the bees are happy thus year. I know it's raining now, and hope all is well where you are.
Incredible stuff, Harry, goodness knows what will happen when you and your like retire. The hard work, dedication, stress and appreciation of the environment are amazing.
This is such a tonic to watch. The relationship between you two is wonderful. For those of us who have/had useless Dad's to see this is great and just so nice to be a part of. Fantastic work, and congratulations that the analogue combine didn't have a breakdown.
That wild bird mix looks lovely, and wonderful that it's providing food and shelter for so many bees. It'll be supporting its own small ecosystem, very much needed these days!
The issue with your drive belt is that none of these belts are designed to be bent in an inward direction when the natural curve of the belt is an outward curve. We have issues with this on some of our quarry equipment here in NZ. The ideal way to solve this is to look to see if there is room for the tensioner to be placed so that the tension is being applied in an outward direction thereby keeping within the belts natural loading characteristics.
In Texas we leave the stubble standing to catch our snow. This will maintain or increase our subsoil moisture. The longer the stubble stays around the better. Strip tilling a place to plant is very popular.
@@buildmotosykletist1987do a bit of research on why the borage is being planted and its dual benefits before making a smart-arsed comment next time. Fallowing land is centuries old
Its funny Harry. I have been following HF since inception, and strangely it feels as if I almost know the farm now. I think that is all credit to you Harry as you have gone into just enough detail to have us all 'engaged'. without actually labouring/boring the audience. Very different issues on your land to here in Hampshire.
Harry, change the belt before next harvest, you have been lucky. I know they want to sell you a belt. But, if it goes middle of next Harvest.... More cost, weather changes, crop is uncut, drops in price. They missed the bearing, so might do a great deal on the belt. Great videos, you tell us how it is.
Incredible that the combine cost nothing in servicing this year. Ive never had that luck with mine! They always cost me about £1,000 each, every year. Your crew must take very good care of it. Full credit to them.
Great to watch a team in action and takes me back to my young self. It's more than 30 years since I had any involvement in farming and I know everything has changed, probably several times, since then. My question, given the weather this July and August, is how much has been spent on drying cereals, compared with recent years?
As always a very nice video. One remark: drying the wheat might be best at night. Yes, the relative humidity is high, but at a low outdoor temperature the total amount of water is low. When you use this air for drying it warms up in the wheat, thus lowering the relative humidity a lot and thus the air could pull a lot of water from the wheat.
Nice harvest, must feel good to have a win after the OSR crop yield. Loved the hay and bird feed field clips too, great stuff! We were fortunate to be able to visit your general neck of the woods earlier this summer, the Cotswolds are a gorgeous part of the world! Stayed in Broadway, saw the Tower and Lavender fields, Stow on the Wold, etc. Fantastic trip, food, people, and geography!
Pleased for you and your team Harry. You all put some proper graft in and glad it’s turned out well. Thanks as always for the extra effort with the videos, they are brilliant.
Borage was the bane of my life some years ago. Took on an allotment that had been uncultivated for some time and without the use of weedkillers it took several years of repeated digging and removing to get rid of the stuff! Some years later the odd patch still used to pop up! Nice cucumber fragrance though.
I was recently driving through the farmlands of Eastern Washington State on a Jeep adventure with a friend, and he was quite impressed with my dazzling knowledge of all things relating to wheat harvest! Thank you Harry 😁
A combine driver doesn't have the same responsibility as an airline pilot, he's only feeding a nation!!!! And a lot less thankful job! If you have eaten today, hug a farmer. And his son. And his wife. Give his dog a biscuit! Fantastic as always!
Great videos love the way you get excited about the fact your crops have done slightly better than you expected and the fact your combine has performed brilliant just shows how down to earth farmers really are ….well done 👏
Well done on the harvest Harry, what a relief! On the farm we live on they’ve managed to get the five fields of wheat harvested this week and it seems like quite a good yield despite the crop which had been flattened by the wind and rain! We’re are surrounded by fields of round bales now which I guess will be moved presently. The Gran Turismo is a strange looking car, shame they don’t do an ice version, lol. Any more bike videos coming up, got my eye on a KTM 890 adventure, very tempted 😀👍🏍
The incorporator looked like it could do with a toothed scraper. One used to be able to buy a plastic blade which fitted between the sprockets on a bike. This was useful especially on a mountain bike to keep the crud from building. I imagine a similar device might work for your wheels so they keep clean as they go. Just a thought and great to see things have gone well for you. Bee interesting to see whats in the wildflower field.
Great video. Glad you got some relief with the good wheat crop… compensates somewhat for the failed oilseed rape this year. Replace that combine belt this year… you’ve done well to get through to 2023 with it. Keep up the good work.
I really enjoy this channel and find it so interesting seeing the changing if the seasons We live in a rural area so have been following the harvest time.
Wonder how many towns people realise when it comes to farming weather controls the hours you work, even if it means working 36 hours straight on a weekend when your pals are in the pub
Congrats with the harvest Harry; well done with getting it in given all the rain! And the channels - Farm and Garage by far the best things around these days!
Glad it's looking up after the doom and gloom of late. Looking forward to Charlie's Shed popping up next to Harry's Farm And Harry's Garage on my feed ;)
Loving the Cotswolds and its farmland, farmers and wildlife as I do, I enjoy every upload you produce here on @Harry's Farm. Do keep them coming! I may be Newbury, Berkshire based, but the Cotswolds is regularly visited for work.
Congratulations Charlie and Harry! It’s a pleasure to learn what it takes to farm from two English Gentleman.Have a cigar! Punch Grandote EMS. Enjoy the Fannie and a Pint.🍺
Great video Harry and congratulations on finishing with no combine breakdowns. I have a 5m vaderstad carrier which I changed to the wavy discs two years ago which move the entire soil profile and have found them hugely beneficial at incorporating and achieving a better chit. Not sure if they are recommended for your Cotswold brash but worth a look
Your summer efforts remind me of the old-time movie serials. I would call your serial: the Perils of Pomona. Congratulations on a successful wheat harvest.
Harry… absolutely love your channels and I can not wait for the next … I even had to travel from Yorkshire and drive your favourite roads. I found my self reminiscing from reading your long term tests from evo days thinking about how you experienced the cars you have driven down them roads and how you enjoyed and dismay the. love every moment that you share with us. just want to say thank you 👍🏽
Great vid again Harry... I remember working on a farm that grew Borage... It was a bit like working with glass fibre loft insulation, the little hairs on the plant were so itchy!
Another awesome video Harry. Loving the borage and the bees! I would highly recommend getting the Porsche rubber mats, it was one of the first things I did with my Taycan, keeps the kids mess to a minimum, they are very good well designed mats and they look great.
Harry's Farm and Harry's Garage are TH-cam highlights. Absolutely love them both. Michael, Australia
Totally agree.
Agreed
intersting to compare to Australia farmers

An analogue Case and a thoughtful driver, in the form of Charlie, clearly makes a sound combination. Well done, Harry and co.!
What a pleasure to see such an abundance of grain, grass and even the bees are happy thus year. I know it's raining now, and hope all is well where you are.
The yearly combining at Harrys farm is certainly a highlight on TH-cam. Great work Harry to pull it off despite the tricky weather this year.
Incredible stuff, Harry, goodness knows what will happen when you and your like retire. The hard work, dedication, stress and appreciation of the environment are amazing.

very good your relationship with your son, wish I could say the same. mainly blaim myself
That wild bird mix looks lovely, and wonderful that it's providing food and shelter for so many bees. It'll be supporting its own small ecosystem, very much needed these days!
Your local beekeeper is very lucky! I had no idea about your other channel 😮 glad your wheat has reaped 👍

I love both your channels. So glad to see the wheat did well and that the bees are enjoying the wild flowers.
In Texas we leave the stubble standing to catch our snow. This will maintain or increase our subsoil moisture.
The longer the stubble stays around the better. Strip tilling a place to plant is very popular.
Brilliant to see so many bees being looked after with the wild bird mix. I hope people can start to see the positives of doing things like this.
I hope you see the negatives.
@@buildmotosykletist1987yes we will run out of food to harvest in this country.
@@fivestarsupplies : These idiots will find out as food prices skyrocket.
@@fivestarsupplies We can always find food from somewhere, but if we allow wildlife to become extinct then what kind of a species that make us?

I could watch Harry's farm videos all day . So interesting and informative, Thank you Harry
Lovely to see you are getting a better wheat yield this year👍
Our Dawson did 13.96/ha over the weighbridge.....!!!! Outstanding crop straw baled out at 10 big bales /ha...

It’s a tough business and a tough year so well done for getting in a good harvest despite all the adversity.
Well done Harry ,all done now .
Its a shame the government will not support you to grow food which is far better than importing the stuff .
Stay safe you two. There was a horrible combine accident on a field here in Germany a couple of days ago :-/

Great videos love the way you get excited about the fact your crops have done slightly better than you expected and the fact your combine has performed brilliant just shows how down to earth farmers really are ….well done 👏
The positive mental attitude indicates why Harry is such a successful fella!
Harry is the gentleman car journalist, I like the tourismo out on the grass, good testing
Great video.
It's also a good year for kupina (blackberries) in Bosnia, the king of soft wild fruit.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks
Anyone else notice the tennis ball fall out from the behind the baling tractor, think Stanley has been playing in the fields
Another great video.
Thanks 4 The Great Update ! ( From Sunny New Ash Green } Kent !
Out picking Blackberrys yesterday. Crumble this evening!

Great news about the harvest, Harry and may you enjoy lots of Blackberry pies and jam, congratulations 🎉🎊🎈🤞❗️😊
Good to see you’ve finished, it’s been a rough one this year
Isn't always for these poor farmers?
Fantastic stuff guys 👍
Well done both of you and congratulations, a bit of fettling and you for there in the end 😀
Well done on getting the harvesting done!
Living my dream Harry. :)
I really enjoy this channel and find it so interesting seeing the changing if the seasons We live in a rural area so have been following the harvest time.
Well done, sir!
Wonder how many towns people realise when it comes to farming weather controls the hours you work, even if it means working 36 hours straight on a weekend when your pals are in the pub
Very environmentally friendly farming by not drying your crop. 😊
Good luck with the cultivation and sowing.
Glad the season wasn't too bad in the end, hoping for something a little less extreme next year.
Congrats with the harvest Harry; well done with getting it in given all the rain! And the channels - Farm and Garage by far the best things around these days!
Don’t damage the battery case underneath Harry, £40k bill for a new battery.
A big relief I’m sure Harry. Wet year & you’ve got extra tonnage with no drying costs. At least that softens the blow of current prices
Very pleased your trying to live with an EV , of course its has to be top end Harry, doesn't it!
Glad it's looking up after the doom and gloom of late. Looking forward to Charlie's Shed popping up next to Harry's Farm And Harry's Garage on my feed ;)

Love these videos, always learning what’s being done when I walk my local fields.
Excellent, that's basically the idea behind doing them, to make people aware of what's going on in the UK countryside.
Congratulations Charlie and Harry! It’s a pleasure to learn what it takes to farm from two English Gentleman.Have a cigar! Punch Grandote EMS. Enjoy the Fannie and a Pint.🍺
Enjoy the fannie? 😳
@davidcole8268 he's got an odd word stored in his vocab !
Great video Harry and congratulations on finishing with no combine breakdowns.

Not sure if they are recommended for your Cotswold brash but worth a look
Thanks for info, I will check them out as the discs are definitely worn and I need to think about replacing them next year..
Very interesting video, thanks a lot, Harry. Looks like a good year, all said and done.
Try a Lemken Rubin before pricing new discs.
I’d recommend it…
But Lemken is also very good at pricing 😉😢
Love these videos Harry, Charlie seems great on camera too. Be good to see more of him next season!
Second year of watching your videos - always fascinating!
Thankyou harry brill viď
Great News!!!
Another upbeat video from Harry. Always a good sign that things are going well 😊😊
What a car , clean fields , great Son,good wheat yields.
Your summer efforts remind me of the old-time movie serials. I would call your serial: the Perils of Pomona. Congratulations on a successful wheat harvest.
Great news about the quantity. Good for you Harry.
*So pleased for you Harry and the Farm 500 Tons WOW - Well Done !*
I've got a couple of acres that I'm considering turning into wild flowers for the birds and the bees. Should be interesting.
I love the thumbnail for this video Harry 👍👌
Looks like you may have lucked out with the wheat side of things! Bonus. The Borage looks excellent
Lovely to see a father and son working together. What a fantastic relationship you guys have.
I would love to see a bale of hay hanging out the back of the Porsche.
Excellent video as always, glad it all went well in the end and you must be proud of your lad and his work ethic. NICE ONE :)
Harry… absolutely love your channels and I can not wait for the next … I even had to travel from Yorkshire and drive your favourite roads. I found my self reminiscing from reading your long term tests from evo days thinking about how you experienced the cars you have driven down them roads and how you enjoyed and dismay the. love every moment that you share with us. just want to say thank you 👍🏽
Definitely need to make some bramble jelly! Plenty of brambles and super easy to get at. Get Charlie harvesting again! 😄😃😀😋
Thank you, fabulous video as always. Keep us in touch with what is going on in the real world of food production.
Great vid again Harry... I remember working on a farm that grew Borage... It was a bit like working with glass fibre loft insulation, the little hairs on the plant were so itchy!
Lovely to watch Harry. Enjoy the blackberries.
Great update👍👍
I'm enjoying these videos very much Harry, thank you. I'm a farm IPM consultant in Australia. But a a Porsche for the 'get around'?
I reckon you should be looking at growing vines for the future. They'll be growing the best wheat in the north of the isles before long.
Great video as always. All the best 🇬🇧.
Another awesome video Harry. Loving the borage and the bees!
I would highly recommend getting the Porsche rubber mats, it was one of the first things I did with my Taycan, keeps the kids mess to a minimum, they are very good well designed mats and they look great.
Well done Harry, always a joy. Thanks
It was so amazing watching them in se kent today with my 2 year old daughter.
We were in the way but the farmers were amazing and let us watch
Strangely Satisfying to watch a farmer.
Harry I love the bees having their fill
Brilliant, thanks Harry 👍
