Really enjoyed your guest David’s interaction on the channel, you never stop learning in farming today. I hope you visit him and do some filming on his harvest activities.
must say our James... not sure if You've done it by purpose.... or as it occurred.... but.... you've most certainly clarified you're the channel that offers the perfect match of detail, humour and overall great content. ..... as a wise man told me on site in the 90s... "you'm doin well... don't fuck it up" 👍😘
Well done on your new combining record 👏 it's always nice to hear what the Australians are upto and comparing the different farming methods, what works and what doesn't 👍🙂
Really enjoyed that. Crazy how quickly evolution finds a way to survive! Fascinating perspective from your excellent Aussie guest. Keep em coming team.
Excellent clip as always, your problems are all very similar to everyone elses just on a far bigger scale. Sadly since coming out of the EU the uk have a big opportunity to lead food production in Europe by allowing the use of certain products in your chemical armoury but they never will. Looking forward to the next update.
Well done to your team in doing a record day of harvesting, nice to hear about the Australian ways of farming and the troubles they have with rye grass. Hope the weather stay good for you .
Hi folks 🎉 Hi James 👋 and your fantastic team 👏 we have learnt a lot again 🎉 fantastic logistics for a super harvest and ground work for next year . Top class video 📹 as always 👏 👌
Do you think that all these wild flower seed margins the governments have pushed on farmers is going to contribute to weed problems. I notice the Americans mow all the grass margins around there crops to help prevent ergo getting into to the grain crops.
Well James another great update and your still smiling and laughing. Down here in South Wiltshire we cant blame the mud lumps for being to hard to cause a puncture as it normally contains a Wiltshire Diamond ( Flint) that causes all the damage. very interesting to here the Aussie take on Ryegrass and a wake up call focus not to be complacent. Hope the weather holds and all the best.
Here's a bit of nostalgia do U remember farmer's diary it was on a Sunday lunchtime on Anglia TV love watching it keeping up to date on a farming but now a day's we have you guys to keep us up to date keep U the good work just love the channel .one other thing harvest 1987 do U remember that one it was a nightmare lodged crops combine having to be towed out the mud that year was not good like I say keep the good work
It's like a dream team you're working hard Jane you explain very we'll myself watching the combines in Kent it looking a very good harvest for all all the best
A really interesting account from David on the roundup ready canola. The technology would be advantageous in terms of reducing the carbon emissions in establishing the crop. Flynn needs a tracker; works with my dogs.
Thankyou James. Really interesting to hear David and yourself discussing Black grass and Rye grass problems. Just out of interest , Andrew Ward of Ward's Waffle has a real thing about Black grass control. He uses different methods to control it, even having a team in to hand pull it from within the crop.
Nice vid James, Nice to see the difference between uk and Australia farming Crazy time of the year tho between harvesting money and spending money But that’s farming,be it be cereals or livestock farming Roll on the nxt vid Many thanks for sharing your farming experience and expertise 👍
We've seen an influx of rye grass this year but only on certain fields. Narrowed it down to where the balers entered some fields after coming from other farms, clearly bringing seed with them.
Hi James. Another entertaining and informative video, really glad I've subscribed. Its interesting to see, and get a little understanding of what is happening the other side of the field hedge, especially as I'm trucking up and down the A14/A428 regularly. regards Andy
Have you thought about whole crop? We had a big issue with black grass, local AD plant whole cropped it early enough taking the heads and we haven’t seen any in that field since. I think that’s the way forward for us, we had some Digestate back too which is pasteurised to kill any seeds coming back so not to spread the issue to another field
Another great video. Would love to hear you talk about yields this year compared to the previous 2-3 years and the effect that yields generally can have on your business
Cousin micheal giving as good as he got, tyre repairs must be consistent pain, great acreage done, wear and tear on machines another battle other than weeds,
thank you James for another brilliant video, it was fascinating sitting in the back of your Range rover listening to you all, although I did spy a can of coke in your hand (must have been the only one that day!!)😂😂
It's quite an interesting subject on how to kill weeds and how the weeds germinate and mutate,I'm sure Seed mills on the harvesters is the best method.
Excellent James - I'm 60 soon and haven't driven a combine since 1986 but would be tempted to have a go again - best summer job I had - do you think I'd be allowed in WA?
Hi James, great video again. Just one thing I would like to ask is: Why not have the lorries go into the fields and load them from the combines? It would save time and free up manpower, plus free up tractors. I guess you do not do this because the straw would be in the way, the lorries may get punchers, and when it's wet, the lorries could get stuck as well. ?
Ploughing would be a major help with grass weed control even if just plough the worst effected parts of fields. Also they tell me! the old combines used to collect the weed seed in a separate bag,with today's technology similar collection could be done in bulk with a separate weed seed tank.
Do you not run any cultivation machinery 24hours or is it too difficult to find the operator, as I spent most of my 20s in the dark on pea viners ,old Challengers and lorries 😝🍺👍
With regards to driving the challenges and new combines on the public high way. Do you need the category H licence for tracked vehicles or does it come under category F or something else? I look forward to seeing the comments. Thanks.
If government is restricting chemical to control then long fallowing and get a payment. Either mechanical or chemical control. Or planting it to a rye grass and cutting it for silage multiple times in a season will reduce seed bank. Short term financial pain but long term viability
Problem is chitting and spraying off blackgrass to control it only exacerbates the resistance problem. As David said in only 6 years Ryegrass becomes resistant and so will Blackgrass.i suspect in 5 years many fields wont be viable in Wheat.
Hi, This channel is fantastic, I am not from a farming background, but I now love it and it is as a result of this channel. A massive well done to the team. Question: I have a HGV (Class 1) Licence, is this transferrable to Australia and is David Cox and his team looking for HGV Drivers as well as combine drivers? Thank you. James
@@themunter4488 You try catching all that chaff and seed flying out the back from those chaff spreaders! Good luck with that. This whole grass thing is a real pain in the arse! My only answer is ploughing the land is deep as you can and hope you have buried it well? 🤔
Mr Peck - does the CTF not apply to you and your Range Rover? 😂 Also, how much of an issue is ad blue for you? Particularly for machines that stand for 8/9/10 months of the year? It's the biggest pain in my arse!
Time to talk money. Machinery, trucks & inputs are expensive. What are these drivers getting paid to operate all this expensive stuff? Apparently pay in NZL is fairly rubbish (was reliably informed $26-30 per hour). Australia does much better due to employment legislations, leave loading, superannuation etc. I have no idea of pay rates in England.

One of the most interesting videos on agriculture there is. So much sense being spoken, your a credit to the industry. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Really enjoyed that. Crazy how quickly evolution finds a way to survive! Fascinating perspective from your excellent Aussie guest. Keep em coming team.
This is now one of my favourite channels. You have a great sense of humour James I think you need it for so much going on 👍
It would have been an advantage to have had these videos available when I was a student 40 years ago.
Excellent clip as always, your problems are all very similar to everyone elses just on a far bigger scale. Sadly since coming out of the EU the uk have a big opportunity to lead food production in Europe by allowing the use of certain products in your chemical armoury but they never will.

What you need is a good old fashioned stubble burning session! V interesting video - as always 👍🏻
Well done to your team in doing a record day of harvesting, nice to hear about the Australian ways of farming and the troubles they have with rye grass. Hope the weather stay good for you .
The sheer disregard for the Letter 'E' by the Kiwis is amazing to witness.
Wonderful show enlightening and nice to hear from your other contributors. Good luck with your Lincs land!
Great video James and very interesting with the Australian view of things and a bit of bad luck with breakdowns 👍👍
Hi James & Team Nice video Thanks again
Just subscribed.
Have to hand it to you, you really know your stuff, and some! Learning a lot.
Thank you.
Thanks again for a wonderful insight. cheers from another Aussie farmer.
Give yourself a pat on the back James . The videos you have done this year have been nothing but excellent. Keep it going 👍
Hi folks 🎉 Hi James 👋 and your fantastic team 👏 we have learnt a lot again 🎉 fantastic logistics for a super harvest and ground work for next year . Top class video 📹 as always 👏 👌

Really interesting to hear the Aussie viewpoint. Gives the impression that famers there are more valued than in the UK

Love these uploads James 😊.Thank you😊regards😊👍😊😊👍
Tob job PX. 👌👍
Great video. Thanks for answering the black grass question, very informative. We need to have an adult conversation on GM crops
Some fantastic outputs there. Very interesting about Rye grass in Australia.
Another fascinating look at a modern harvest. I guess the repairs are par for the course but it must drive you and the drivers nuts. Stay safe.
Good Job Guys Keep it rolling!!!

Roll on the nxt vid
Many thanks for sharing your farming experience and expertise 👍
We enjoy any length report. Your annual repair & maintenance costs must be eye watering. .
Interesting video as always Jimmy.
I like Richard he is a sound lad
Hi James another great video keep up the good work👍
We've seen an influx of rye grass this year but only on certain fields. Narrowed it down to where the balers entered some fields after coming from other farms, clearly bringing seed with them.
Great content as usual. Our wheat yield is down. Not good. But dry.
Another brilliant update on how your harvest is going just wondering how much have you left to harvest

I just drove up the M11 to Peterborough in the truck, looking across all the fields looking out for you in the fields. Lol
great video
well done great video , would like to see what you talkingn about more 😀
Fair play... Good days work there.. Very well run set up and tells the job how it is
Cousin micheal giving as good as he got, tyre repairs must be consistent pain, great acreage done, wear and tear on machines another battle other than weeds,
Love the picture of you with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ♥
Thoughts on chaser bin with tracks? Thanks for the videos really interesting with the Aussie views and comparing farming. Keep up the good work

As always great informative video and and the old adage things comes in 3's... think it needs to be adjusted in your case.
Excellent James - I'm 60 soon and haven't driven a combine since 1986 but would be tempted to have a go again - best summer job I had - do you think I'd be allowed in WA?

Liberty link canola gets rid of most of those weed problems
interesting video
James, when don’t you show your combines on the combine league on telematics?
Do you not run any cultivation machinery 24hours or is it too difficult to find the operator, as I spent most of my 20s in the dark on pea viners ,old Challengers and lorries 😝🍺👍
Have you tried direct drilling? If not why not ,was it because it’s not very forgiving / yields not as consistent as your tillage system you now use?
How dose the control traffic work with you driving the Range Rover in the field james 😃😃
Great content!
Here in France, we are using propyzamide on rape during winter for ryegrass and black grass. Is it allowed in UK ?
Hi James, great video yet again. i know you've run challenger's from day 1, but have you tried a 4 track machine, if so what are you thoughts.
Always a very interesting and informative video... Do your trucks select Out of Scope for all the time their in the field and in the yard..?
With regards to driving the challenges and new combines on the public high way. Do you need the category H licence for tracked vehicles or does it come under category F or something else? I look forward to seeing the comments.
Thanks.
No track licence needed as still has steering wheel.
It’s a shame you can’t stubble burn it would help the black grass problem.
If government is restricting chemical to control then long fallowing and get a payment.
Either mechanical or chemical control. Or planting it to a rye grass and cutting it for silage multiple times in a season will reduce seed bank.
Short term financial pain but long term viability
Recent new sub. Great videos. Thanks.
Still using Paraquat in Australia😧
Does cousin Michael never have a turn on the combine or cultivating .
I’m not experienced but I’d like to have a go with a chaser, how hard can it be
Roundup do you use the Branded Roundup or a generic one ?
Problem is chitting and spraying off blackgrass to control it only exacerbates the resistance problem. As David said in only 6 years Ryegrass becomes resistant and so will Blackgrass.i suspect in 5 years many fields wont be viable in Wheat.
How about using Propyzamid in winter oil seed rape?

How many acres do you farm altogether
How many acres do you combine
Can't you collect the chaff to avoid spreading the rye and black grass seed ?
@@themunter4488 You try catching all that chaff and seed flying out the back from those chaff spreaders! Good luck with that. This whole grass thing is a real pain in the arse! My only answer is ploughing the land is deep as you can and hope you have buried it well? 🤔
How many acres do u farm mate?
Need sub titles for the Kiwi😅
666 acres harvested... who was on the combine ?? The devil...😂😂😂😂
