- Charlotte Ashley presents this month's show and gives us a tour of her “dairy farm in progress.”
She's going niche with a herd of Jersey cows and a robotic milking system, but there's so much going on from feeding pigs to trying to flog her favourite cow "Nuisance" to David. Also Gareth tells us why he thinks he's got 2 million plus subscribers and had over a billion views on TH-cam. We also meet Ian Shaw who has sold up. The pedigree Hereford cattle breeder is preparing for his machinery sale. All the kit is going. He say's unless you have 1500 - 2000 acres you can't compete. He has just 300 acres so his family farm will be rented out. David |presents Farming Britain News and Farming TH-cam with James Marchington

Well done Charlotte!
Superb!..... about time British agriculture had a platform to show the public what happens behind the scenes!
Great Job Charlotte, David and Gareth!
So sorry to see Ian is having to give up his farm and livelihood. To watch someone who is so passionate and involved in not just what they do, but also that of their community is heartbreaking. I wish him and his family all the very best in their future endeavours.

Thanks James - ATB David
Lambing is not grafic , its life , its real .
Weather it goes smoothly or not .
Violence is graffic and not right .
Birth should be treasured .we are living so artificialy.
Thankyou for the report
Love the funky farmer ❤ Richard and brother trying their best to keep old traditional farming industry going 😊
New UK subsciber. Fully support No Farmers,No Food. ❤
Thank you - please tell your friends about us :) David
I love your sense of humour Charlotte and your not bad in front of the camera 😂
Great video, I see what's happening here in the U.S. to farmers. Farmers and Truck Driver get overlooked by Government. Sad to see a farmer have to pack it in 😢
Thank you for commenting William - ATB David
I'm sure that milking machine will be just fine, but there's something of the 'what could possibly go wrong' about it.
Loving your fleeting affinity with sanity Charlotte, 😂😂❤❤❤
Charlotte makes a really good presenter,. i really enjoyes this video, sorry to hear about Ian. I have no connections with farming whatsoever, just enjoy every aspect of farming life. thanks for videos. greetings to all from me in Germany👍🚜
Thanks for watching Michael - great to hear we are appealing to a German audience - ATB David
I take my hat off to you Charlotte your a brave lady going into milking now, seeing it’s such a struggle at the moment. And I totally agree with Ian shaw RIP the small family farm, the milking herds that are disappearing here in west Cornwall is unbelievable.
Good job done Charlotte , will be watching again .
Another great episode, perfect level of serious news and comedy (Charlotte 😂) very sad but true about the losses of family run small farms, and shocking about the cost of wool- would have thought the eco warriors would have wanted top dollar for a sustainable form of clothing🤔🤷. Keep up the good work everyone, and thankyou to Every person in the farming communities for trying to keep us the general public going (without most even knowing what you do to achieve this)🎉
Thank you - serious news and comedy is exactly where we want to be :) !! David
One wonders what farmers who get out of the game, are going to do next, to generate an income. If you've been used to marching to the beat of your own drum since year dot, it's highly unlikely that a factory or office job is gonna tick many boxes.
Not a great sign, where British agriculture, in general, is concerned.
All that'll be left will be the very large units, who can only turn a profit because of economies of scale, but fewer farms will mean less of a market for machinery dealers, who by direct extrapolation, will ultimately start to feel the pinch at some point in the future also.
great video
Awesome guy's cheers 👍🏻
Brilliant Charlotte 😅
Yes yes this is the farm news channel we've been looking for!! liked and subed. Looking forward to your vids, cheers
super market s may be selling more british food but they are not paying economic price to farmers
Thats because shoppers dont want to pay an economic price for their food.
I buy Food Grown in Great Britain, The Government gets his Food from Rome, is it where he comes from
Great to have some farmer biased representation, brilliant, thank you 👍🏻
Excellent channel!
i think you very brave to start milking in this day and age
BBC Countryfile and Radio 4's Farming Today could both learn a lot from this show! I.E. Get a farmer to present the show with knowledge and empathy.
What sainsbury's havent told you is they will give you a milk contract and pay 3p more per liter providing you give 10% of your land to trees or rewilding i was told .
Well done Charlotte, is there anything you can't do? 😃
These are top notch
Thank you !! D :)
At the beginning of the video who else thought about a "bacon and egg sandwich" 😂
Just happened to see priministers question time earlier, don’t know if anyone else saw it but labour seemed to be having a dig at Welsh farmers. I immediately thought of Gareth’s talk with the P. M. Thought it was disgusting of labour to act that way.
greetings from cattle farming, I am a TH-camr from Indonesia
Thank you for watching - we're going global :) ATB David
@@FarmingBritainOfficial I may share about cattle farming, please also look at my TH-cam channel
Brilliant Charlotte, you come over differently in this compared to your TH-cam Channel. 😊😅❤😊
NEVER 😂😂😂😂😂😂
God that news section from David was depressing...
I don't know how famers, both here and in Europe, manage to keep going with all the sh*t they have to deal with.
FFS - People pay a fortune for a wool suit/dress but the farmer gets £0.87/kg for all that work!
A woolen blanket is very expensive if it’s decent, they are hard to find. Who is making the money?
Rip small farming families? This one abandoned that for a factory dairy farm thinking of the bucks
This is really where our (the ordinary people) future lies. Not with the big conglomerate farms who will, along with government, hold us to ransom. If only the family farms could have got together and sell their produce direct and the farming union be more interactive between local customers and the farms.
Where are the grey Fergies???
Good on you Charlotte, I was wondering how long you would be serious and talk posh , then we came to the bits that were edited out, so based on the amount of time you spent on continuity versus the outtakes I would estimate that you can be serious about 25 percent of the time ( allowing of course that they didn’t edit the edited bits, which I suspect they did) . How did you like just being the talking head and letting other people be in charge, must have been hard!
Didn't she do brilliantly Andy :))??? Considering there were a few technical issues / a working farm behind her and rubbish rural broadband - She has patience AND a sense of humour. !!
@@FarmingBritainOfficial I think you have found a gem there! Charlotte was made to be on screen and has the ability to make people laugh while getting across a serious message or dealing with difficult issues, sometimes people get lucky and find a diamond in the rough with Charlotte is not in the rough anymore she is a seasoned professional with a great on screen presence, you would do well to hold on to her! Regards from Ireland.
Genuine question not political: has the Gov replaced the EU subsidies ?
Need more of Ian's story, whats happening to his farm? He seems happy so why is it a problem. Charlotte is happy at the moment investing in her family farm but Ian gives her only 10 years is she making a big mistake? will be interesting to follow.
Hi Philip, Ian is now renting out his farm to a bigger player - We're often told that the options are... Go big or Go niche - Charlotte is going niche with a small Jersey herd and we'll be following her as she develops that. We're also uploading a podcast with her next week to explain a little more about how she and her family got to this point. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend, David
You need to tell the full story with all the reasons behind it other wise you'll be accused of just pushing an agenda and no better than bbc countryfile!!!
Pity the BBC countryside programme show the public us properly
Farmers always moaning and complaining.pre brexit & post brexit. I’ve had enough of them
t’s what we do best 😂. But I actually think you need to look at what’s happening across Europe and the UK. Nobody is moaning about brexit despite our leaders managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory because they never wanted brexit in the first place. If you are happy to eat imported food then sit back and enjoy. Watch the farmers turn their land over to other non agricultural uses and take the money to not farm the land.
have you eaten today? thank a farmer
