  • It's been a long wait for the weather to improve but we have finally started combining wheat over a year after we had finished last year's harvest..

      ​@@tbrowniscoolhe's pretty busy for a retired man. Though yes he's not on the bread line. Fyi Harry has been farming since the 80s, it seems farming is a hobby probably because he loves doing it and this comes across. The Evo magazine stuff and cars in general, would be more his hobby if you had to choose. Harry is pretty upfront with his farm financial results, astonishing to see how little take home pay there is some seasons. The details are in the long term $ performance which given he hasn't sold up after all these years means he's been successful, ergo his ability to enjoy his actual hobbies.

    As an ex- farm labourer, I find all the videos very interesting, it’s good to keep abreast of all the changes in modern agriculture.
    It’s also quite alarming that it seems, governments around the world seem to want to pay farmers to do nothing with their land rather than produce food. It seems utterly bizarre that they would sooner pay you to grow a cover crop/ non harvestable crop, than food 🤔

But , and theres always a but ,due to complaints early on by folk complaining about the total waste these fields had to be kept away from main roads so no-one would take much notice of this farcical scheme.

      What is really exciting are the new systems being developed using AI. You drive the [it it drives autonomously] the tractor across the field and the cameras know every SINGLY plant in the field and they can recognise which insects are beneficial and leave them, which other plants and crops are wanted BUT it can spot the weeds and the pests and it kills them individually with lasers. It also fertilises each plant individually depending on how its done.
      So every individual plant in a 1000 acre field is farmed individually with no chemicals. The systems are under test on farms in California.

      The one I saw was a black box on the back of a tractor - but essentially many of these systems are in the trial phase. What is also great is perennial wheat and barely that they are developing. You DONT replant every year. It grows back. They already have perennial rice crops. this allows the roots to go down further for water so yo dont need to irrigate the same. It allows them to grow much bigger and stronger as they are not starting from seed every year. They create ground cover so they limit the growth of weeds.
      Cereal crops are a development of crops that would normally grow after a fire - so they need a destroeyd landscape with no competition - hence the chemicals like roundup.
      If we can have perennial cereal crops this would be a MASSIVE leap forward.

    • @Pesmog
      @Pesmog 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      They are doing that where I live. They do a couple of circuits around the headland with the combine and then leave it 24 hours and it noticeably improves the moisture as the breeze gets into the main part of the crop better. The less dry headland grain is tipped in a different pile at the farm, to be dried separately; the hope being that they won't then need to dry the main part of the crop by cutting it this way.

    Wonderful explanatory videos of the farm . The government could learn a thing or two about the trials of farming if only they watched

    So very interesting. I studied agriculture at Seale-Hayne 1958-1961. We didn’t even dream of the subsequent advances in agricultural machinery. Thanks Harry.

    Glad you’ve got some grain in your shed and you’ve had a bit of luck with the moisture

    You're definitely more upbeat in this video compared to the last one Harry. 👍👍😊😊

    Really interesting! Learnt lots and some road tests of new farm machinery would be great

    Interesting about the airline. The New Holland combine I use has a compressor as standard along with two air line points. Really invaluable for dusting down! Great video as always, nice to wind down to after a long day harvesting 😂

    Great air pump hack. "One weird trick Big Dust Blower doesn't want you to know!"
    Also, revelation that people buying organic foot are INCREASING their carbon footpring, not reducing it!

    The hay field across from me was cut on the 7th, and baled within a couple of days. Been a boon for the raptors, buzzards and kestrels have all been hunting which is great to see.

      The meadow across from me was cut on the 9th and they'd baled and taken away the majority of it by the end of the next day.

      Haylage or silage ! Not as dry as hay but to be plastic wrapped to stop heating/ moulding .

    Producing food Harry, with modern methods, fantastic. Wish “citified” folk would watch this reality.

    Great work as usual Harry. Your videos are a brilliant window into the some of the mysteries, triumphs and tribulations of farming life in the UK. Here in Australia we also marvel at the technology that allows the creation of impossibly straight crop lines running into the distance across our often huge paddocks, and at the right time of year the glorious spectacle of yellow canola (OSR) stretching as far as the eye can see or smelling the lovely fragrance of a crop of flowering beans on a warm evening. Please keep up the good work for all of us that cannot do what you do but appreciate it just the same.

    I grew up in/near the country and so helped my friends on their farms, always about with farm equipment so I know a lot of this stuff and I learned a lot. But still Harry's video's are so informative that you learn more. This is the kind of thing the Government should be watching, understanding and listening to, but they won't. Another great video Harry, thanks 👍

    I like the idea of having an over sized combine, but little drying facility. On another matter I remember West Country Farming and Farming Diary programmes in my youth, they were scrapped as the population became less rural. Harry's Farm should be on main stream TV.

    The automated tractors are somewhat more efficient on fuel, but what’s the carbon footprint of all the electronics? What’s their lifetime? Will the increase in efficiency when tilling pay off before the electronics break?
