One of the most honest ,to the point interviews i've seen with an overseas food producer (farmer). Well presented Mr Peck, and great to hear from your ploughman, shows the skills involved in working with big machinery. Great vlog as usual, well done the video and editing dept.
I didn't hear him mention but watching another farmer, he'd said they're not allowed to harvest above a certain temperature because of the risk of fire. Can't remember the temp.
Interesting experiment with the fire fighting extinguisher and fire stick Looks to me that old school is best Australian guy very informative talk with him
So many similarities with the Australian gentleman to what I have found farming here in the Saskatchewan Prairie. We came from England, bought land, some of the best land in the area, for $520/acre in 2000. We have quadrupled the size of the farm, expanding by renting, but over the last 2 years we have bought the majority of that rented land due to the health issues of our elderly landlords. A neighbouring block of land, which we do not farm, has just come on the market at $2875/acre, but is poor land, only 80% of the block is farmable. We have found, as your Australian chap is experiencing, that the land is improving with better farming practices. Most of the land had been under a summer fallow system, weed control using steel one year with a crop the alternate year, and minimal or zero inputs! Needless to say, this progress is almost universal across the prairies, with very significant average yield improvement, especially during the last 4 or 5 years.
Fantastic video, the firestick 'failure' is really important as I am sure many people see the on-line videos and think 'thats that' whereas knowing how to and where to use them seems critical.
Excellent video James. Fascinating interview with your Australian friend, good to hear a farmer interviewing a farmer from another country. Ploughing video very informative as most people will not have operated a plough of that size!
Love this vlogs as someone who grew up on the farms bailing at 16 years ploughing with a two furrow plough with a land wheel in east lothian scotland 1967 then ending up working in Lincolnshire running potatoes operation wish I had come across px operation b4 I moved back to scotland seems like great company to work for
Your mate said can you make the videos a bit shorter? This one is over an hour long! 🤣🤣🤣but as usual I loved it 👍The Australian chap was spot on. You gotta plough the land and start fresh every year 👍if you get a good deep fresh bed. The tiny seed will do the rest no matter what the weather 👍make the most of this coming week and crack on 👍
Thank you James for the update, it was really as always very informative, the interview with David from Australia was so educational, just shows the comparison and your questions to him were fantastic. those firesticks are nothing like they are advertised, I am a qualified extinguisher engineer and have look into those, yes small fire like a you showed in the barrel is about all they can do, but in the harvest field or grain dryer, waste of money. I as an x Frontier grain store manager of 32 years, really enjoy when you are talking, stores, dryers etc, just right in to my barrow. thanks again James, keep up the great work
Enjoyed the video and the talk with David cox i'm a retired farm worker and manager in 1992 me and the wife made a bucket list to visit her sister in Australia every 2 years and i would take photo and video of farming all the way round Aus, in 2015 i finished that from the top of Queensland to the far north of the western wheat belt, Esperance waspart that as my niece lives there, sadly it will be a while before i go back because the wife now as terminal cancer we have a lot of happy memories of our time there.
Great video, I’ve seen a couple of TH-camrs mention the fire sticks (Olly blogs & Becky Giles) in fact one of the fire sticks saved her livestock truck on the motorway when the brakes caught fire.
As some one that desperately wanted to make a farming life work from a young age, and indeed grew up farming. Your videos James, and business is spectacular. I still hold hope that one day I will be able to return the industry I love. Your videos certainly scratch a major itch
No way!! Glen B, wondered where you went, didn't think I'd turn on TH-cam and suddenly see your face, especially in a crawler, had no idea you went over to px 👍👍👍
I’m glad I’ve seen this video. As I was about to order fire sticks for all the machines as I’m sick of replacing powder fire extinguishers after 6 years. Very interesting!👍
Great stuff as always! I don’t know about everyone else but I really enjoy the long format that the harvest videos have taken, with such a large and well organized operation you guys have no end to the interesting stuff that can be shared with us all:)
Another great video James, plus a full hour of it👍 Beats Sunday night tv all day all. Good to hear the conversation with your Aussie friend really interesting.
Thanks again James and the PX team for a really informative vlog. Really appreciate hearing our WA farmers point of view, I know that my family back in UK farming in East Sussex had the opinion that Australia were allowed to export lower quality meat with hormones, which is just not the case. Thanks again from Australia 🇦🇺
Great video, James … one of the best. The chat with David about opportunities in agriculture in Australia was really interesting … great interview … you really brought out all the relevant and interesting detail … Sounds like it was a land of opportunity for those who were brave enough 20 years ago and were willing to work hard … sounds like there are still good opportunities for young people out there. Very interesting to compare and contrast to the situation here in the UK … Lots of food for thought … Looking forward to lots of harvest content over the next couple of weeks. You clearly invest a lot of time and effort into these videos … Just to say it is much appreciated by me and clearly of thousands of other people …
Great vid James - thank you - the insight into Australian farming was a revelation - i never appreciated the population/area differences between the UK and OZ! The financial returns from land purchase in OZ are unreal - when do you start down under? The Nuffield Scholarship is a great institution for information transfer globally! What you both demonstrated so clearly is that farming is now for professionally motivated "Businesses" with a capital B where attention to detail is paramount and care for the environment and the soil is at the forefront of all you do
Thanks again James, the discussion with Paul on his Australian farming operation was captivating, the scale to which his business has grown and how equally as challenging farming is, whether in the UK or Australia. Interested also with your questions on Uk perceptions of the recent trade deals, in talking with Paul this perhaps brings a better perspective on quality controls they operate to. Very much appreciate your videos, keep them coming. All the best. Ian
Another superb video. Without doubt one of the best arable channels on here. Ploughing piece very interesting. Would be nice to have more of these as cultivations and drilling continue
Interesting results with the Firestick compared with the powder extingisher. I have always thought that with combine / tractor fires, water is best as co2 and powder devices tend to blow hot embers around. Obviously electrical fires require a different system. Look forward to see the response from the manufacturers of Firestick.
I liked the ploughing video. Having come out of farming 20 years ago the last plough set up I used was on a farm that bought a class challenger 55 to pull a nine furrow plough. It was hopeless, the 240 hp would have been good for 7 furrows max on heavy clay land. I pulled my hair out that summer scrabbling, with the back four up in the air most the time.
Very interesting hearing about the Australian farming James, I visited South Australia in 2009 around 120 miles North of Adelaide and I spoke to a farmer who cropped 50,000 acres the scale is phenomenal compared to the UK.
Hi james another great video a realistic approach to the highs and lows of arable farming be systems go in the wheat harvest for us today 🤞keep the excellent videos goin all the best for the rest of harvest 2024☀️
As always great update and interesting the comparison with Aus, all the best for next week hope the weather is kind,,, Good luck and all the best to the staff with a successful harvest,
A great update James, and a very interesting look at the the Australian approach to farming. I will agree I think a fire stick wouldn't be much good in a big fire.
2001 myself and 5 mates travelling around Australia and we crossed over from Sydney to Perth. We were hoping to get to Perth by Xmas eve 7 weeks 1974 VW comb camper van 1982 hi-ace van. We had some craic. ☘️💚. But vw started to run on 3 cylinders and we were in Esperance on Xmas eve and we were lucky enough a guy who was in to vw was able to help out with the parts. He had beautiful vw beach buggy and his pride and joy and all the other vw had a different model engine. But fair play to him took the top off the engine and gave us the part. His son was doing something to his Ute pickup and just said what size engine was it and he said 6,2 or 7.3. I told him in Ireland all you get 1.4 or 2.0. And he just laughed at me and said the only thing you get in 2 litres in Australia was milk and coke 🙈😳🤣☘️💚 We arrived in Perth and stayed there for a while But I was working on a building site and got talking with one of guys who was from a farm back ground and we talked about the different types of farming He said how many acres are you farming back home I said 250 acres feeling good about it and I said how many acres are you farming 1.5 million acres North of Perth but said that it’s not that good for anything 🔥☘️💚👍
I watched every second, top quality content, the Ozzie info was brilliant, and the comedic fire show also. Keep up the great work and video production. Hats off to the editing team and all involved. I only wish the best for you all. PS: Hermione, there i said it perfectly 😆😆 (best health to her and the family)
Passed one of your combines going into Barton this morning. Long queue behind it😂😂. I laughed out loud when you missed the fuel in the tray with your burning cardboard. Absolutely love your videos.
good content and impresive figures when talking about the tons and acres, firestick was good to know - Ie mentioned to Olly Harrison as he has them in the cabs to check your blog to show th epitfuls
Our neighbours drilled OSR 2 weeks ago up here in East Yorkshire and it’s all out and looks well, no flea beetles yet! We are like you and decided not to grow it. Must admit we are twitching 😂😂
Ploughman very well spoken, drill for putting out 🔥 , out in the field chatting and long chat with the Ozzy were all very informative so overall a cracking video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 just one question….. why aren’t bales going farmers rather than being burned for electricity 🤔🤔
James these videos are fantastic. Refreshingly honest but also filled with humour and your attention to detail is outstanding. Just a quick question as to why your entire workforce don’t wear hi-viz clothing during harvest? Apologies if this has already been asked. All the best for the rest of harvest. 😃👍
James , I used cover oats & barley with a chain harrow back in young days in Ireland “ David Brown 995” I have not seen a chain harrow on farms of late ….. left the farm in 1985 for London building sites so really get a kick out of watching UK farming on your PX farms great stuff 😅
Great to see a bit of the ploughing and the set up. What at insight into Western Australian farming - quite a contrast. What a great shout out for firesticks and the company that sells them. Sounds like just the type of firm you get involved with. Are you brand loyal or dealership loyal?
Can you show the dryer in action please when my husband worked at harvest all the grain went through a dresser and he wonders what you do to clean the crops many thanks .
Great video as always, really interesting and very informative. With such a large bulk stirage and transport operation, why aren't you guys running larger, more conventional loading shovels? Surely you'd get a artic loaded and turned around much quicker than using a telehandler?

Thank you for facilitating my request regarding the in cab ploughing, Thanks to Glynn and Tom for a wonderful piece.

Conversation with Australian man very informative. Thanks
I didn't hear him mention but watching another farmer, he'd said they're not allowed to harvest above a certain temperature because of the risk of fire. Can't remember the temp.
@roberthiggins6401 we get fire ban days during harvest it is a combination of temperature and wind speed not temperature only.
I’ve got a obsession with these videos it’s opened my eyes about the other side to farming brilliant stuff James
Patrick tomlinson brought a group of us irish lads to your farm about 20 years ago when you were a young lad. Good to see you prosper.
Interesting experiment with the fire fighting extinguisher and fire stick Looks to me that old school is best Australian guy very informative talk with him
What a eye watering amount to fix that tractor on tracks..
So many similarities with the Australian gentleman to what I have found farming here in the Saskatchewan Prairie.

My favourite TH-cam channel at the moment. Good on you Mr Peck.
Fantastic video, the firestick 'failure' is really important as I am sure many people see the on-line videos and think 'thats that' whereas knowing how to and where to use them seems critical.
Over an hour! James you hero. Time to get comfortable
Excellent video James. Fascinating interview with your Australian friend, good to hear a farmer interviewing a farmer from another country. Ploughing video very informative as most people will not have operated a plough of that size!

I moved back to scotland seems like great company to work for
Thank you. It was good and interesting to hear the chap from down under giving a different perspective, especially how their yields differ.
Nice to see Simon he's a good mechanic used to work with him for a few years 😊
Your mate said can you make the videos a bit shorter? This one is over an hour long! 🤣🤣🤣but as usual I loved it 👍The Australian chap was spot on.

Absolutely fascinating video. 👍
Normal used to be couple mates come round have a beer and watch a film, now they come round to watch a PX vid.😃
Best time of the week! You look well James, whole team are looking happy. thats the key to a high performing farm!
I’ve been working on farms now for 45 years , my things have changed. But not the love of farming ❤❤❤. Fantastic insight into modern farming.
Great to see the passion of all you guys. Most people dont know how challenging farming is.
Great video, I’ve seen a couple of TH-camrs mention the fire sticks (Olly blogs & Becky Giles) in fact one of the fire sticks saved her livestock truck on the motorway when the brakes caught fire.
Richard Irving has a huge fan club in New Zealand, we would love to see some footage of him
I am a member of said fan club, looking forward to seeing Richard on the big screen!!
Another great video, great insight into farming in Western Australia. Best of luck with the harvest and autumn sowing
Fascinating the Australian piece was enlightening. Pleased somebody in British Farming is on the ball.
What a seriously interesting and informative video.
Look forward to the next one!
Thank you James.
As some one that desperately wanted to make a farming life work from a young age, and indeed grew up farming. Your videos James, and business is spectacular. I still hold hope that one day I will be able to return the industry I love. Your videos certainly scratch a major itch

Another great video James well presented

Another great video James, plus a full hour of it👍 Beats Sunday night tv all day all. Good to hear the conversation with your Aussie friend really interesting.
Everything is always immaculate ❤
Hi James very interesting video this week especially with. Aussie Dave hope things go well next week cheers
Keep it up. My farming simulator is making much more profit thanks to your advice.
Thanks again James and the PX team for a really informative vlog. Really appreciate hearing our WA farmers point of view, I know that my family back in UK farming in East Sussex had the opinion that Australia were allowed to export lower quality meat with hormones, which is just not the case. Thanks again from Australia 🇦🇺
James you have me hooked on beckygiles she has a really interesting video on the fire stick keep filming my friend very informative and fun
Hi, fascinating content in this program. Thanks!
Fabulous content James. Very interesting Australian view. Glynn is a gem.Bestof luck with the rest of the harvest.😊

Really enjoy your videos, love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Excellent content very interesting with the Australian perspective with land/ capital payback so much quicker.
Thanks again James, the discussion with Paul on his Australian farming operation was captivating, the scale to which his business has grown and how equally as challenging farming is, whether in the UK or Australia.

Your demonstration using the new fancy stick, could end up going viral, as a comedy stint.
Another superb video. Without doubt one of the best arable channels on here. Ploughing piece very interesting. Would be nice to have more of these as cultivations and drilling continue
Very interesting James, keep this going.💯👍
Really interesting listening to David.
Another brilliant video, top marks to all involved.

Who’s the handsome chap on the plough??? 🥰🥰🥰 proud of you, George loved watching you explain how the plough works. Future farmer in the making x
Very interesting hearing about the Australian farming James, I visited South Australia in 2009 around 120 miles North of Adelaide and I spoke to a farmer who cropped 50,000 acres the scale is phenomenal compared to the UK.
Great to see some ploughing action.
Good video, the longer ones are much better as the breakdowns get seen through in the video
Hi james another great video a realistic approach to the highs and lows of arable farming be systems go in the wheat harvest for us today 🤞keep the excellent videos goin all the best for the rest of harvest 2024☀️
Interesting learning about Aussie farming practices 👍
As always great update and interesting the comparison with Aus, all the best for next week hope the weather is kind,,, Good luck and all the best to the staff with a successful harvest,
That was a very interesting discussion on Australia’s Farming
Great video 👍

Hello james love the content of all your videos keep up the fantastic work.
Another great video James very interesting how farming is varied in different countries
I watched every second, top quality content, the Ozzie info was brilliant, and the comedic fire show also. Keep up the great work and video production. Hats off to the editing team and all involved. I only wish the best for you all. PS: Hermione, there i said it perfectly 😆😆 (best health to her and the family)
What a brilliant video! Makes me want to get back into farming.
Great video, as usual, more in cab footage would be appreciated.
Small world I did a drilling season for Dave cox back in 2018 21:54
Very good
Passed one of your combines going into Barton this morning. Long queue behind it😂😂. I laughed out loud when you missed the fuel in the tray with your burning cardboard. Absolutely love your videos.
At uni I was always taught to say OSR for oilseed rape to avoid triggering anyone.
Very interesting chat with your Australian friend James. Paul
Great video again, James, as always.
good content and impresive figures when talking about the tons and acres, firestick was good to know - Ie mentioned to Olly Harrison as he has them in the cabs to check your blog to show th epitfuls
great video good to see a master ploughman
Having worked in western Australia 🇦🇺 myself I found the video very interesting. That CAT challenger would probably do another 11000 hours 👍👏😎
Excellent video james👍👍👍🇬🇧
Hi fantastic video as always 2 questions if possible why claas combines over fendt ideal 10 and why crawlers over quad tracks thanks
Great videos keep it up I didn’t think fenders had serious breakdowns
Our neighbours drilled OSR 2 weeks ago up here in East Yorkshire and it’s all out and looks well, no flea beetles yet! We are like you and decided not to grow it. Must admit we are twitching 😂😂

Excellent video thanks
Great video as always, really interesting and very informative. With such a large bulk stirage and transport operation, why aren't you guys running larger, more conventional loading shovels? Surely you'd get a artic loaded and turned around much quicker than using a telehandler?
We went to all foam extinguishers on our farm as we find the powder ones in the open air actually make it worse whereas the foam ones smother it out.
