Andrew, you are providing quite an insight into how bad things really are. I live in South Lincolnshire and whilst the land is really saturated there is only a relatively small amount of local flooding by comparison. I amazed at the inadequacy of the ‘Environment Agency’ as I’m sure a lot of your viewers are. It would seem that they use ‘global warming’ as an excuse for their inability to manage our waterways as they should. Surely somebody has to be accountable!!
Hi Andrew I was at the awards myself last week ,That probably was the best Beef I have ever had it was a very enjoyable evening ,Never thought to look through the guest list to see if you were there
Another great video Andrew, it was nice to see what a fantastic job that beet cleaner is doing, it was good to see the Grain cleaner at work it all shows what hard work you farmers do. All the best and thank you.
Another great video Andrew, looks like you had a great night in London. The only award I get is a Sunday roast what I helped to do on a Sunday on my small farm 😊.
That beet cleaner is a very good bit of kit and doing fantastic job. Hope you get beet pad soil lifted up and ready for seeding Grain cleaner doing fantastic job too Great editing of party lol. 80mm rain near Doncaster airport. In September
Grate to see it going through the cleaner Andrew, i don't normally get to see it from that prospective while im loading , perhaps i should get a long pole with a camera on the top , certainly would help keep a closer eye on the job 👍 its been a significant investment, but it is certainly showing it is up to the task
Hello Pete, gives a totally different impression from up there! I think a camera looking on the hopper and another the other way onto the rollers would be good. A lot of that big lump of soil in the video was pulled out but some weeds didn’t. It’s certainly a fantastic machine despite the investment.
Cracking update again Andrew. Nice to the beat going in the factory and like someone else said the last time you let your hair down you tore your calf muscle 😊
looks if British farming has joined the luvie brigade self self satisfied award ceremonies , Anglia Water intend to steal Lincolnshire waters and send it south , looks as you had a loverly time at the Grovenor well done, must say the beat gleaner was more interesting lol
Brilliant! Had no idea about mobile seed treatment in the yard. Sugar beet cleaner was interesting too, presumably that’ll be going off to Newark? But I think you said it was a different company?
1.6 gallons per acre seems quite good for the 8RX on tillage. By comparison an MR 135 has a fuel consumption of about 2 gallons per hour. What area does the 8RX cover in one hour with the Elita in tow?
Another fab video - I went back and watched the beet factory videos, fascinating! Did you manage to get to the Bury site to see it being bagged off? I couldn't spot it in episode descriptions since
Morning another fantastic update do you have to pay to transport your sugar beet to factory or is it included in the selling price as all farms are in different locations and transport is very expensive so does this reflect in the price
British sugar have a set rate per mile and pay us on that basis. The haulier then invoices us separately but sometimes it’s more than the BS haulage rate so we end up having to make up the shortfall. Since we E swapped hauliers, we’re ok, it covers it.
Arrived in Edinburgh from Lincolnshire for a wedding on Friday and it was raining, it’s just stopped 11am Sunday morning, I’ve been told we’ve had 173mm in that time it’s been cold as well
Only varieties available are Canadian, US or Chinese and they just don’t like our climate or farming methods. Capulet is the first genuine UK bred variety.
Is there nobody over your way with a beet washer Andrew cross engineering in Ireland make a great mobile machine should check them out . Always enjoy your videos so much information and fighting the farmers corner always 👍
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard 😂likewise the machinery co , agro chem co , fert co finance houses but sadly not the farmers to any real extent apart from the rapidly declining few
All ours is in the 1 year contract so getting £40/ ton. last year i put 500 tons on the futures market but this year didn't as i was happy with £40! now wish i had!
It’s fabulous. Sugar at an all time high price so British Sugar knock £2.50/ton off the price they’re prepared to pay for sugar beet next year compared to what they’re paying now.
@@jackiewatson3789 luckily I don’t take sugar I do have about 12 kilos I bought in my booze making days at start of lockdown will be worth plenty now lol I paid 60p a kilo well over £1 now
We’ve had some sad family news this week your vids just help ❤
Thanks Peter but sorry hear of your trauma. 🥲

Solo is doing a tidy job. 👌
Great video Andrew
Nice to see CTM cleaner in action. I made parts of it.
It goes a fantastic job. 👍
Hi Andrew I was at the awards myself last week ,That probably was the best Beef I have ever had it was a very enjoyable evening ,Never thought to look through the guest list to see if you were there
It was very good, how they cook like that for 1,200 people I’ll never know.
Liked the cleaner view, GPS guidance makes such a great job of field work now compared to the pre-GPS days.
I used to enjoy keeping straight manually!!
Another great video Andrew, it was nice to see what a fantastic job that beet cleaner is doing, it was good to see the Grain cleaner at work it all shows what hard work you farmers do. All the best and thank you.
Brilliant set up
Great video. Very impressed with the beet cleaner and pleased you had a good time in London. 🚜🚜
My head next day said it was a good night!
Another great video Andrew, looks like you had a great night in London.

Sunday roasts are the best!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard yes they are and my self and my dad, always do roast dinner my mum would be be proud of us.

The FW awards vids took more editing than anything. There was some heckling and comments when Theresa was on!

Had to laugh on Charotte's video where you were trying to pop the balloon with the candle flame which turned out to be electric lol
I’d no idea it wasn’t real!! 🤷♂️🤦♂️
great update glad you enjoyed nite out hope you avoided dancing 😂
😂😂😂😂🤷♂️
That 8RX is a beast!
Very much so.
How are you going to tackle that beet pad when you've finished loading ?
In hand today! Going to break the surface with the cultipress then Elita it once or twice and cultipress twice,
Cracking update again Andrew. Nice to the beat going in the factory and like someone else said the last time you let your hair down you tore your calf muscle 😊
😂😂😂 I didn’t learn the lesson though!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard well at least you made it home in one piece 😁
With the help of 2 young ladies to shaperone me on the train!!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard yes I saw that, makes the train journey a bit easier don’t it 😊
😀👍
looks if British farming has joined the luvie brigade self self satisfied award ceremonies , Anglia Water intend to steal Lincolnshire waters and send it south , looks as you had a loverly time
at the Grovenor well done, must say the beat gleaner was more interesting lol
😂😂 Got to let your hair down once in a while!
Great video Andrew I'm surprised how hard the ground is with that loading shovel given all the rain. It looks as hard as a goat's knee.
Never heard that expression before! The beet is great at taking moisture out the soil.
Was your "boot' on or off in the grosvenor ??🤔😁🥳
It was off a few days before in readiness for the awards!!!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard took it handy this time ⏲️ 👌 😀 🥳
😂😂

Yes, off to Newark, 12 miles away.
1.6 gallons per acre seems quite good for the 8RX on tillage. By comparison an MR 135 has a fuel consumption of about 2 gallons per hour. What area does the 8RX cover in one hour with the Elita in tow?
Comparing little and large
Between 2.5 and 4 ha/hour
Another fab video - I went back and watched the beet factory videos, fascinating! Did you manage to get to the Bury site to see it being bagged off? I couldn't spot it in episode descriptions since
I’ve not been yet, will def go in the next few weeks to complete the story.

That is a lot of rain. I’ve been sent some videos of bales being washed away, need to be on stand by with Forage Aid.
What is the reason why the uk doesn't grow the baked beans, costs or legislation?
Only varieties available are Canadian, US or Chinese and they just don’t like our climate or farming methods. Capulet is the first genuine UK bred variety.
Think I could just make out my yard in the background out the train window
Hello Tom, I’d forgotten you were on the edge of P’boro. Need to come and look at your sheds sometime.
👌😄
👍👍👍👍🐝🐝🐝🐝🐶🐶🐶🐶
can you tell why all awards are in the most expensive place London it should in midlands to save money for every one
I wish I knew. The only thing going for London is it’s easy to get to. For me, I’m at Kings x in 1 hour 20 mins if I pick the right train from Newark.
Last time you let your hair down you ended up in hospital 😊
Hmm, you can join the queue for the number of people who told me that!!!
Is there nobody over your way with a beet washer Andrew cross engineering in Ireland make a great mobile machine should check them out . Always enjoy your videos so much information and fighting the farmers corner always 👍
Thanks Eric.
I’d be concerned about water going onto the field when loading, we usually struggle with rain let alone any more.
Wonder if your government yearly subsidy cheque is 12% of your annual profit ! I suspect it may be more!
😂 In 2 years it will be zero. Don’t forget every household in the country has benefited from the subsidies we receive by keeping food prices low.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard 😂likewise the machinery co , agro chem co , fert co finance houses but sadly not the farmers to any real extent apart from the rapidly declining few
Spot on
Just heard on news sugar a all time high bet you didn’t get all time high price
