Absolutely fantastic channel this is quickly becoming James. What a team you’ve built. Everyone knows what they’re doing, everyone gets along and the good spirits are amazing to see. I thought it odd at first that you take very much a management style role on the farm, however seeing the insights on efficiency etc, it’s very clear exactly why you do that and why it’s so important to the smooth operation, which let’s be honest is absolutely crucial for farming in such short windows. Another great update, keep them coming!
Great content as always. Always makes me smile when your giving the team some stick, but also being able to take it back. I always say going to work should be a pleasure not a chore.
You could put your 2850 on the mulcher and save running a 400hp Fendt clocking up extra hours eating into the resale value. If the mulcher is too big for it trade it in and get one that suits the 2850. You would be surprised how many hours you would put up on your newly acquired 2850 every year saving your high end tractors for the jobs they were bought for in the first place! Once again, excellent video. I love when I get a notification for your videos. Every other hobby is cast aside! Keep up the good work!
You are right when you said about the feeling you get working land that you ancestors had work and to hold that soil in your hands its very special. Loving the videos here's hoping it stays dry
Absolutely epic my god the production and editing and filming of this who ever did it needs pat on back. Perfect amount of information laugh’s and machinery!!! Thank you
Great update James , great to see everyone having a input and being cheerful . Can't wait to see the balers getting going , the one thing I miss the most after 30+ years on them. Keep up the good work and hoping the weather stays good for you & everyone else who are doing harvest.
James it is refreshing to see the repour you have with your staff there are a lot of employers could learn from you, what hit home to me is the farm I started working on when I left School had less acres than your biggest field, it employed three full time people and two part time, how times have changed
Great video, yet again! I remember an old boy teaching me: always fill a wheelbarrow in the direction you wish to go.( little things make a huge difference at the end of the day.) I have always used this in my work ethic, simple things make so much sense! Keep doing what you do sir! 😊
James, i must say that you are a great man to tell a story. It is a joy to see the repour that you have with your team . I just came across your channel a number of weeks ago and i subscribed immediately. I truly look forward to your weekly content. Have a great and safe harvest.
Largest field 326 acres…… You’ll be competing with us in Canada next - our field sizes on the farm here are limited by roads. The original surveys put North/South road allowances every mile and East/West roads every 2 miles so largest field size is theoretically 1280 acres. Yes, some road allowances are ‘deleted’ and farmed, but none on our farm allow for exceeding that number. Great to see the weather finally playing ball for you - hope it continues.
Totally agree this is proper farming not messing about hobby farming for the insects 😂 James runs an impeccable (pardon the pun...Pek) operation well done and superb viewing 👏
James, another great video of a great leader in the agriculture industry, your overall experience is phenomenal, on all a management team needs to know on all aspects down to overall running, on a daily basis, love your commentary on all aspects, your team you have working are a great asset as well, your sense of humour and joking with the lads also helps, you have a great sense of what life is all about, be happy no matter what life throws at you , enjoy life, and keep up the great work ethic your life has given you, your a legend in all you do, with agriculture and its culture, thank you for your time giving these videos to us you tube viewers, all the best for the harvest, appreciate your time giving feedback, and taking time to post, Michael power county Waterford, Ireland [Eire]
Thanks for such detail in farming.. I’m not from farming but take great interest in watching your vlogs.. I didn’t realise how big 326 acres is till I googled it and found a football pitch is 1.32 Acres
Great number of topics covered, especially ryegrass issues. Looking forward to the next one already - just a great insight into your business and team - love it.
If you haven't got one already ,you should nominated for an OBE "services to Agriculture " James we as other farmers are all benefiting from watching your videos I can say that with certainty based on inspiration alone. 🙂
Hello James I love the content my dad loved it when you mentioned the John Deer 2850 back in the day my dad can remember when we had 3050 and what a brilliant tractor it was hope you have a great harvest All the best From Oscar
Most informative video done very well. You may be able to google up a GRDC publications on Ryegrass control titled the big six . The article discusses 6 control methods to drive down the numbers,no silver bullets.
Great video thanks James. My dad did acres and acres every year of mole draining with a single leg behind a 964 county here in NZ. Awesome to see that massive unit of yours. You are dead right about these options being from the factory. I had to deal with an aftermarket GPS on a fendt with a horsch maize planter and I almost needed 3 phones all season to talk to techs at same time to sync it all up.!! Easiest life I've ever had was with Starfire, JD tractor and JD planter in USA. Sync sync sync.
Really enjoying watching these very different from the farming I have ever been involved in. Be interested to see the history of the business and how it has evolved to wear it is today
Fantastic video, very professional team from Mr Peck outwards to all his team. Welsh slate would have been a good choice, up there with Fendt and Claas, a bit more money, but they last longer.
The content is great really enjoying watching. I drove a lexion with a convio flex for 2 seasons always found barley and wheat would feed best with center belt speed of 70-80% and ran lateral belts 10% less than the center belt.
Andrew Ward (WardysWaffle on TH-cam) gets pullers in to clear all their Black Grass, works out cheaper than chemicals and clears 100% of the grass. Great video, thanks. Best wishes from the French Alps, Colin.
For the controlled traffic, how are you clearing all the bales off the field whilst travelling in the designated tracks? Really enjoying the detail of your videos, very interesting and entertaining.
Fascinating insight into how to farm properly & efficiently ,, (although a bit like big brother is watching you combining 😂) Enjoying this new to me channel 😉
Another great video. Fascinating on the moling - never been involved with that. Every generation makes its mark and everyone has its different issues. So much data available to help these days. Have you seen the drones applying sprays over in the USA?
Fantastic information on the telematics with combine efficiency👍 but why o why won’t manufacturers make a combine with a turret auger that will be a game changer
I have to say taking 100k range rover in fields as they should is respect.....most stay on roads and ladies that lunch, loe the vids well done ) had a tear in eye aftter the family speak
Very interesting video again have you had a look at Zurn harvesting Top Cut Collection for sorting out your black grass problem as a idea and your videos are always a great watch 👍👍
Happy days ,with such high yield s of straw do you not sell it to farmers say in Wales or Scotland?All so what is the state 🤔 of wild grey partridges on your ground ?
Very interesting and informative videos but we haven't seen the sugar beet farming, cultivation, drilling, spraying and how the crops looking at the moment.
surely it would be faster and more efficient to keep all combins together. I worked on a farm in Canada and never split them up to be more efficient .but I know fields are bigger over there ..but honestly you guys are doing great 👍🏻 love the videos. proper kit
You’d think in this day and age Claas would have integrated airlines in all the places you get chaff etc loitering and have it so you can open the relevant flaps and press a button.
Great video another question sorry your ctf are you full on true 12m ctf apart from the plough and obvious mole drainer or do you have to work at angle to keep the soil level occasionally?
What a cracking video James. It looks like your a well oiled machine with everything going on, how do you manage with the Lorrie’s hauling the corn back to the yard with there tacho hours? 😊
Interesting to hear your views on the financials of the straw as an additional income. I made a similar comment on Jake Freestones channel as he was chopping his barley straw. Do the convio headers have the ability to alter the speed of the conveyor belts to prevent bunching at the elevator throat?
I'm no farmer but I'm very interested in the comments from yourselves and people like Clarkson, and the UK government make life so difficult across the board with health and safety regs, 9/10 rules have more negative impact than good with all this not being about to spray certain chemicals
James, your videos are superb. They are teaching quality.....for those that want to listen. Absolutely fantastic, please keep them rolling. "Quite frustrating" I'm guessing is tactful for £^_&[(;=×#%_;&> thing!!! Don't you love AV tech! ( not). I jest though, I so enjoy your output, and definitely rank it at the top of the Leader board of YT farming ( even if your combine driving is yet to be judged! 😅 ) Thanks!!!
This is the sort of stuff Country file showing not artists, bird watchers, wokes and hobby farmers.
Exactly that! It's fascinating!
Your creativity and humor really shone in this video. Great job!
Absolutely fantastic channel this is quickly becoming James. What a team you’ve built. Everyone knows what they’re doing, everyone gets along and the good spirits are amazing to see.

Perfect amount of information laugh’s and machinery!!! Thank you
Loving this channel James. Your laugh is so cheery. Great camaraderie between everyone helps get the work done. 👍
Great update James , great to see everyone having a input and being cheerful . Can't wait to see the balers getting going , the one thing I miss the most after 30+ years on them. Keep up the good work and hoping the weather stays good for you & everyone else who are doing harvest.
Brilliant channel. Educational, transparent and very interesting. Staff seem top notch!
Keep up the vids James👍🏻
James it is refreshing to see the repour you have with your staff there are a lot of employers could learn from you, what hit home to me is the farm I started working on when I left School had less acres than your biggest field, it employed three full time people and two part time, how times have changed

Massive operation to manage but you make it look easy.
James, i must say that you are a great man to tell a story. It is a joy to see the repour that you have with your team . I just came across your channel a number of weeks ago and i subscribed immediately. I truly look forward to your weekly content. Have a great and safe harvest.

Real commercial food production by professionals with sustainable energy as a by product mostly fuelled by DIESEL. LOVE IT❤️
James. It’s 27 degrees and you still have your gilet on! Are you still trying to lose your holiday bod by sweating it off?
Great channel. Really good videos and nice to see a true working farm in action. All the best for the rest of your harvest.
Cheers from Nz
Interesting and informative update. Good to see large scale farming working in East Anglia
Your clearly very dedicated to your job 😊
Fabulous video James. Lovely to here you remanicing about past workers and your family. Lovely tractor the 2850. Buy one. ❤

Great number of topics covered, especially ryegrass issues. Looking forward to the next one already - just a great insight into your business and team - love it.
Great content and it's great to see you appreciating your staff, something that was seriously lacking when I worked the the Yorkshire wolds!!.
If you haven't got one already ,you should nominated for an OBE "services to Agriculture " James we as other farmers are all benefiting from watching your videos I can say that with certainty based on inspiration alone. 🙂
Brilliant video as always James. Thoroughly enjoyable and looking forward to many more!
Hello James I love the content my dad loved it when you mentioned the John Deer 2850 back in the day my dad can remember when we had 3050 and what a brilliant tractor it was hope you have a great harvest
All the best

Brilliant video keep up the good work ! I actually saw the challenger on Saturday with the mole drainer on the back ! Some bit of kit
Most informative video done very well. You may be able to google up a GRDC publications on Ryegrass control titled the big six . The article discusses 6 control methods to drive down the numbers,no silver bullets.

Absolutely brilliant, can’t get enough of your knowledge share and farming facts . More please JP
Really enjoying watching these very different from the farming I have ever been involved in. Be interested to see the history of the business and how it has evolved to wear it is today
Another cracking video james keep them coming
Good Sunday evening watch. Weather looks more settled this week!
Another great video James interesting and informative as always 👍
Another good update James. As far as I'm aware CASE ih are the only manufacturer in the UK to offer the redekop chopper on the Axial Flow combines.
Fantastic video, very professional team from Mr Peck outwards to all his team. Welsh slate would have been a good choice, up there with Fendt and Claas, a bit more money, but they last longer.
The content is great really enjoying watching. I drove a lexion with a convio flex for 2 seasons always found barley and wheat would feed best with center belt speed of 70-80% and ran lateral belts 10% less than the center belt.

Get yourself a 2850 bought don’t be such a tight arse😂 really enjoyed this👍
Great video, so interesting thankyou for taking the time.
“Father will be pleased” 👍👍👌
Thank you again for an informative video. cheers from Australia
Brilliant to watch really enjoy your channel
Nice vid james,everyday a school day i see with your big combines

Happy days from west wales 🏴
Brilliant videos. Keep up the great work. One of my favourites
And again…..another brilliant video! Thank you!
Excellent video James. So informative and interesting.
Great video James, brilliant staff relationships.
Great videos James, couldn't Agree more with you as regards boats and heights.
For the controlled traffic, how are you clearing all the bales off the field whilst travelling in the designated tracks? Really enjoying the detail of your videos, very interesting and entertaining.
I watched a few videos and enjoyed the content. New subscriber! Greetings from Dundalk, Ireland.
Fascinating insight into how to farm properly & efficiently ,, (although a bit like big brother is watching you combining 😂)
Enjoying this new to me channel 😉
Nice to share with us
Very educational videos look forward to watching a new one
Great video James brings back memories of working on arable farms
Another great video today JP
Nice to here your finally getting a machinery shed, it's only 5 years ago I mentioned it to you 🎉
Another great video. Fascinating on the moling - never been involved with that. Every generation makes its mark and everyone has its different issues. So much data available to help these days. Have you seen the drones applying sprays over in the USA?
Enjoying my px fix! I love the smell of harvest in the air, brings back childhood memories!
I’m just here for James’s laugh at this point. Flat out on the sofa 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very professional video!
Fantastic information on the telematics with combine efficiency👍 but why o why won’t manufacturers make a combine with a turret auger that will be a game changer
Loved my 2850 too ,great power to weight ratio
I have to say taking 100k range rover in fields as they should is respect.....most stay on roads and ladies that lunch, loe the vids well done ) had a tear in eye aftter the family speak
Next Min. of Ag for Uk...good work James
You have a good crew there James
the land of big yields & no weeds... farming paradise in the shaky isles
Very interesting video again have you had a look at Zurn harvesting Top Cut Collection for sorting out your black grass problem as a idea and your videos are always a great watch 👍👍
Amazing farming. Super high tech, high efficiency. How many acres?
James is that an old "Wolf Drill behind you @min13.44 nice fab work on the new engine.
great explaining on the mole draining process.
Happy days ,with such high yield s of straw do you not sell it to farmers say in Wales or Scotland?All so what is the state 🤔 of wild grey partridges on your ground ?
Love the videos from Anthony in New Zealand
Thoroughly enjoyable that video.
Your largest field is bigger than the entire farm that I worked on aged 16. 250 acres in Dedham, supporting 6 full time staff!
Great video
Very interesting and informative videos but we haven't seen the sugar beet farming, cultivation, drilling, spraying and how the crops looking at the moment.
surely it would be faster and more efficient to keep all combins together. I worked on a farm in Canada and never split them up to be more efficient .but I know fields are bigger over there ..but honestly you guys are doing great 👍🏻 love the videos. proper kit
James assuming you can do a pre sowing emergent like atrazine to help control ryegrass? Or you have resistance to that as well?
How many acres are you farming in Cambridge James ….. Fendt also have combines …. Have you considered trialing them , all the best Mick O Donohue
You’d think in this day and age Claas would have integrated airlines in all the places you get chaff etc loitering and have it so you can open the relevant flaps and press a button.
Great video another question sorry your ctf are you full on true 12m ctf apart from the plough and obvious mole drainer or do you have to work at angle to keep the soil level occasionally?
What a cracking video James. It looks like your a well oiled machine with everything going on, how do you manage with the Lorrie’s hauling the corn back to the yard with there tacho hours? 😊
How far from Dry Drayton do you farm, spotted two of your combine and chasers travelling up the A1 north of Peterborough this afternoon
Maybe a seed destructor would help with rye grass coming through the combine and chaff deck to put it in wheel tracks
really enjoyed that video :)
Interesting to hear your views on the financials of the straw as an additional income. I made a similar comment on Jake Freestones channel as he was chopping his barley straw. Do the convio headers have the ability to alter the speed of the conveyor belts to prevent bunching at the elevator throat?
I'm no farmer but I'm very interested in the comments from yourselves and people like Clarkson, and the UK government make life so difficult across the board with health and safety regs, 9/10 rules have more negative impact than good with all this not being about to spray certain chemicals
great video
It a class what more do you need to know
Dying to ask,what do you call a small field?😅
does the straw go to the power station at sleaford
Maybe a stupid question James, why don't you use glyphosate to control problem areas of ryegrass.
Resistance. That's what Australia is dealing with at the moment is Resistance of ryegrass to glyphosate.
Thanks Ben @benjaminbauer4883
James, your videos are superb. They are teaching quality.....for those that want to listen. Absolutely fantastic, please keep them rolling.
"Quite frustrating" I'm guessing is tactful for £^_&[(;=×#%_;&> thing!!! Don't you love AV tech! ( not).
I jest though, I so enjoy your output, and definitely rank it at the top of the Leader board of YT farming ( even if your combine driving is yet to be judged! 😅 )
Thanks!!!
PX FARMS VERY PROFESSIONAL FARMER'S. 🤙🦊
Do you see your farm growing other crops, or even having Livestock on the farm.
No better feeling that working on the family land.
