Does anyone think it's heading like last winter. Hopefully crops won't rot what has been drilled. Think might stop farming and sell second hand submarines. Hopefully it will go down for you George. Regards to the family and farm crew
Rice harvest is around now and the fields need to be dry to combine. Even though rice combines here in Japan are on tracks. The rice fields are only flooded at the beginning to middle of the growing process and then drained off towards the end. The same fields in some low lying areas (i.e. warmer for longer) are then used to grow wheat. Floods aren't good for rice either and recent flooding in Japan has seen many a crop destroyed. Don't worry, I know you were only joking and I laughed too, but thought I'd just share the reality of rice farming as an aside.
Flooding is not helped by building every where and lack of maintenance ditches and rivers used to be cleared and maintained regularly now they are just full of vegetation and rubbish
OMG George can't believe that's happened to you again 🙄 up here we've had virtually nothing apart from the odd shower for a few weeks now, hopefully you've seen the last of it for a while, good luck getting the tank emptied next week 👍
Omg that's shocking to see thought we was bad up in Staffordshire water was 2" in our new barn tractor wheels in water never seen it so bad you definitely got the worst of it all stay safe fingers crossed it's going to drop for you hopefully you cattle will stay dry
You weren’t the only one to guess the river height wrong lol. Ours flooded more than I thought, it managed 3.5m in 16hrs which is way faster than it ever used to be but like you it’s just a pain but not real harm done
Hi George, Time to start biuld an Ark for all your stock and buy an old roll on roll off Ferry for all your tractors and equipment. 😊 Hope you are OK Noah.😊😅😊
There is no maintenance by national highways, the EA etc. the housing being built around wingtringhan is unreal. Building on flood plains pushing the problems further downstream. I don’t care what anyone says when I was younger rain never came down as much as it does now not a months rain in 24hrs at least
Evening to you. I have a small holding in northern Italy. Up to late April I had a rain made swimming pool out in the garden. I have just arrived now and I am going to have to spend 2/3 hours watering the plants and vegetables. Strange world and even stranger times. Keep safe
That's terrible George, we used to have flooding on a couple of fields and would loose the crops on them bits but thankfully the river was cleaned and lowered by a couple of foot and this has brought the fields back to use even in winter. Hope your get the same done there.....
Can't believe it😢 we are missing it all almost too dry with us. we had irrigation going last week on parsnips and potatoes for lifting. Feel for you all down there
Would be nice if you had hose system to slurry tanks and pump the rain water out into the field, we had a slurry pit with concrete bottom and a steel fence to keep muck and rain separate, holds about 2 years of slurry.
Feel for you George, when oh when will the authorities start to understand that water ways need to be maintained and managed like in the previous millennium. Ridiculous that in September we’re seeing serious flooding issues , god knows how bad it’s going to be come winter. We’ve had a wet week with some heavy rain but nothing extreme but already water ways can’t cope. The government wants to build another 1.5 million homes. Bonkers. Good luck, your always chipper.👍
Also George is it practical to see if any of the spoil and clay from the Blackcat construction could be tipped so you can add a flood defence for your buildings, it’s bloody near. Or could you use older silage bales that perhaps aren’t feed grade.? I dairy farm in Cheshire and River weaver floods some of my farm far more frequently than ever. Luckily my buildings are well away and much higher. Best wishes

George.Maybe plant rice for harvest in 2025.
Need the sun mostly

Can you build a scaffold type cover for the Slurry Tank
Flooding is not helped by building every where and lack of maintenance ditches and rivers used to be cleared and maintained regularly now they are just full of vegetation and rubbish
Could be the perfect land for another estate of New builds
Could you go umbilical system and keep the tankers off the fields? Thats awful.

Usually it's us up north cop the bad weather while you down there bask in glorious sunshine... That's nuts George...

Great update George - let's hope it's not too long before water levels get back to normal!
Would be nice if you had hose system to slurry tanks and pump the rain water out into the field, we had a slurry pit with concrete bottom and a steel fence to keep muck and rain separate, holds about 2 years of slurry.
Wouldn't like to be in your shoes George thats scarie how close to the farmhouse and farmyard
Blimey George you don’t need much of this . Your calves look good.
Certainly does not look good George! Thank you putting another video out there. 🚜😊👍
Hope it drains away quickly George good video thou 👍😊🚜
Here in Virgina in the usa its been flooding from a hurricane
Stay safe George. Hope it didn't come up any higher.
It’s no joke mate !! All the best. Thanks for upload 😮
Where did you get the old Soviet DT-75 tractor?!😂😂
Locks be closed down here
Fen potatoes heads shut the gate waiting tide wash
Take it out
How much rain you had now then?
That's a lotta water. I hope it doesn't get any worse George.
Another great video has always George and liz 👍
Hey George Mole plow really putting the water to the river… 😅
Omg that's a lot of water, we are in for it tomorrow in the south of ireland
Why not hitch the FW to the crawler & tow it to higher drier land?
are you trying to sink the belarus or float it George
Sorry for your troubles, George 🇬🇧🐄🍶💡👌

Where are you located George?
Grow rice instead.
First
love your optimism, getting very depressing all this rain. keep smiling 🙂
That's all you can do mate👍
I have a plan! Sell the fastie and the fw and get a hovercraft or a boat
That's not a bad idea!
Your channel is a source of joy and inspiration. Continue to delight us with your work.🤸⌛️⌛️
Is there no where better to park the crawler ?????? In a nice dry barn undercover ???? Seems a crying shame to get it & treat it the way you are 😫😫😫😫🫣
