This is more like "The Real Countryfile", actually dealing with the pertinent issues for a change. Well done Olly, for bringing Countryfile back on message.
You explain the issues extremely well, keep educating the public whenever you can. Hopefully, eventually it’s going to make consumers and therefore the government take British farming seriously. Thanks on behalf of all the farming community.
Shame Countryfile can't be more about the true aspects of country life like this. Stopped watching the programme years ago, luckily saw this on TH-cam. Well done Olly
Thats the first bit of BBC's Countryfile I've watched in months ! Proper farming content for a change. That would be quite a feather in your cap Olly if you pioneered commercial sunflower cropping in the UK, the infrastruture to process the oil is already near you !!
Hi Olly, you should have your own tv show to rival Clarkson’s Farm. You’re so engaging in everything you do around farming. Your smart with the double crop. Let’s hope you harvest in October.
Olly blogs and tom Pemberton are the best youtubers out there olly you are so honest same with tom yere keeping us all entertained used to watch netflix just hooked on ye both well done lads
It came out well best country file ive seen in ages ; I hope the general public see this they will see what farming is all about .The money farmers have invested and its all in the hands of the weather it can either make you or break you feeling 96 % today great video Ollie
Hi Ollie Greetings from Ireland! That was a great video! That’s one thing about farming you definitely need to think outside the box ! You have a beautiful farm may you have much luck and prosperity in it !
I missed country file last week,glad you put it up olly, and people might start to understand the problem of food supplies that we could be facing soon, there’s certain fresh products that we can’t get in supermarkets already as most people know
As a ex fram worker myself I feel for you olly long hours and done see much of family for little return well done on thinking out side of the box keep up the cracking work I think you have opened a lot of people's eyes with you blogs
Well done Olly, excellently explained - too few people in this country understand food security, we all need to understand and government understand and support. If not it will be too late and we will find millions going hungry ( all of which will be the poorest in our society ). Keep up the great content !!
I've worked on farms as a youngster and as an hgv driver for some 30 years an done alot of hauling the crops from the farms but not to our grain stores most of it went to the docks to go on ships to go to other countries surley it should all be staying in this country to feed this country not go abroad, what do you think Olly?
really cool thanks for sharing, i just wish this msg would reach non farming folk, i might not farm now but i grew up working with my dad until i was in my mid 20s, i miss the land more than anything else so i end up watching blogs like this but no one i work with and no one i know really cares at all whats going on or how hard it is to put your heart and soul into something for an entire year only to see nothing at the end, makes me sad / frsutrated
Makes perfect sense, for people who have never stepped on to a farm let alone know how it works and they are the sort of people that would throw their degrees at you to make them sound clever.

Crazy isn't it? Farming and water are THE most important businesses in the world! Farmers are trying their best against swamps of red tape and water companies are just about the profit for their investors and sod leaks and investing in infrastructure and new resoviours! Fucking bonkers!

amazing ollie country file unfortually dosent reach out to all the public people like you do a great job in showing the plight of english its hard to beleave but a lot of people dont understand where food comes from the schools could do more i asked a kid who was about 11 where dus milk come from he said asda and when i said no from grass he looked me like i was thick keep doimg what you do this country needs educating well done sir
Great Country File story, Climate variability is a major problem here in Australia. We are currently experiencing a wet spring on the back of floods earlier in the year. Do you cut a strip in the sunflowers just to let people walk through the fields for interest sake and photo opportunities? When we grew them here we had lots of people wanting to go into the paddock to get photos.
No water to grow crops yet every sports stadium in the country wastes untold gallons of the stuff watering their damn pitches. Something wrong somewhere.....
Hi Olly, It's people like you the politicians should listen to not the know everything politicians think they know all about farming, well explained, Olly for prime minister !!! Lets be honest you couldn't £$%* it up any more !
How can you call it drought? There's still lots of feed around and even green grass! Come to Australia and learn how to become moisture managers for your cropping systems - take that back to the UK and you'll be right!
Is there nothing that genetically modifying crop varieties can do to make them better suited? I know people think its a bad thing and what ever but once food prices go up but GMO food is cheaper and more plentiful i’m sure people will change their view

I do agree the drone shots look awesome and well raised points there Olly.

I agree, only export what we have too much of.
All about the money 👍
Everything looks very good Olly well done. We have got to keep moving forward.
Great video Olly people at the top should really listen to you and help are farmers, without you guys we're up the creek
A really good presentation there Olly!
Thank you for sharing this video!
Nice to see Bill & Joe getting a snippet in of the Blue power!
Watching from South Dakota, USA. I enjoy hearing the exploits of a UK farmer
Thanks

Just watched again. I did see it last weekend.
"Food security on the line", so let's take land out of production!

Brilliant video from every perspective ......

I never thought I'd feel bad for an insurance company but I can't help but wonder how hard its hit them with all the crop fires.
where would we be without country file and of course the bbc

Hi Olly Nice one Thanks

Football is way more important though. 😏
Great video olly, thanks for posting this 👍😀🚜
Olly Hollywood!
Ollywood!! 😄
The loss of the 200 acres between the start and the middle of the episode won't have helped your yields this year. 😆
That’s the 200ac of non cereal crops grass potatoes etc also I don’t own 1400 ac
and the experts believe it will carry on til october ? promotion to weather man is in order i think
Nice clip very well done 👏
Very well done Olly
I always thought your surname was Blogs
And me, i know his brother joe🤣🤣

"Farmers have been battling dry conditions" isn't much of a battle really. Mother nature does what she wants.
Brilliant
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice one Olly
I think you have a good picture of agriculture, let's hope that the government helps as a priority 🙂
Cheers Olly. 😎
Good video
Skip the sunflowers for oil, global warming's happening so fast, go straight to olive !
