- Longer edition due to Southwell Ploughing Match footage. Also:
Spreading sewage sludge, repairing grain store roof, baling stewardship plot, cleaning wheat seed ready for planting, cultivating spring bean fields, visit to a farm who is rewilding all 1,900 acres, hedge cutting, final field prep for next years sugar beet crop, update on grain temperatures and lots of Little Grey Fergie’s ploughing!
Another very informative and straightforward video. I hope some secondary school teachers are using your videos to educate and inform their students
Thanks. I hope so too but with that school in Lancashire banning meat it makes you wonder what they are being taught.
Hi great video Wardy, 100% with you on the hedge cutting better to leave it odd one's to grow in a corner of the field, keep up the good work,
Agree with Mathew Hodder, I hope teacher's will utilise some of your and other youtube farmers, to educate their students as to where their food comes from, the science put into growing food, the protocols for enjoying the countryside, without impeding the hard working farmers, how their actions can affect the production of our food supply
Another great video Andrew, thank you
Geoff
😊👌👍
another great video totally agree with you applying sludge and saving 300 tonne of fert especially with prices what they are it's a joke . keep up the great work
Cheers James. 👍
Wonderful Andrew! I so enjoyed this week's #waffle. Would have loved to come over to Southwell Ploughing Match. I remember my Dad modernising his 2 grey Fergies with red paint.... He used to Judge/Steward too. Sorry to hear about your Father. I'm really pleased these local shows/ploughing matches are up and running again. Good weather this time too! Well done everybody.
Thanks. It was a really good day, you would of enjoyed it, all the grey fergies in 1 field were fab! My Dad didn’t suffer, he died in his sleep in his own bed, was 94 & had a great life. 😃
Only just watched the ploughing match part of this video, you done a good job Andrew the steam ploughing is brilliant, Bet there would have been some bacon and eggs cooked on them on cold winter days, the little grey fergie is well traveled it's number plate is a Radnorshire number (mid Wales) 👍
Bet you’re right re the bacon and eggs!
Thank you
Brilliant Andrew, real blast from the past, now I do feel old!
😃👍 I’d better put a health warning on future videos: “Warning, may make you feel old”! 🤣🤣
It was a pleasure spreading on your ground andrew. I've seen motor ways with more bumps
🤣🤣🤣👍
Great vid remember when we used run a Farm and yours reminds me of ours "good memories". We contract in Worcester area and assuming you are somewhere around by us?
Thank you, I’m in Lincolnshire. 😃
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard thanks for that and love vids look forward to next onw
Would it be ludicrous to plant beet now I know fodder beet has quick Germination plant in end August harvest in late November.
Always wondered, was ever a steam ploughing engine turned over on its side when the big plough its an obstruction like BIG stone, or bog oak, they pull plough at a fair lick, turning over much deeper than horse drawn ploughs.
Makes you wonder what would happen if the plough hit an obstruction.
That was really interesting and varied video this week Andrew.
Do you agree with what Dodington are doing with a whole farm?
Doddington have done the figures and growing crops doesn’t stack up. They already have the public going in because they have a very successful farm shop and deli and a bike shop with bike cycle tracks all over. Will be interesting to see it all in 2 or 3 years.

It'll be great to see it in a couple of years. I hadn't googled it but I can well believe there's more profit in that way managing the estate. Thanks again Andrew and have a great week.
Doddington have got some good crops of Jacobaea Vulgaris!
Hello Andrew. Nice to stumble upon your channel. Very interesting content. I’ve been trying to find a local ploughing match, but many of them have been cancelled. I used to do a lot of ploughing in my working life, actually won the championship one year. You certainly know what you’re talking about. I’m not quite sure where you farm, could it be in Lincolnshire?
Thanks Lionel, pleased you’re finding them interesting. There’s a few ploughing matches on this time of year. I love all the adjustments you guys make up and down the field to make it level snd bury everything!
Yes, Lincolnshire, between Lincoln and Grantham.
This might be a stupid question but does this then need to be ploughed in within the timeframe given by the legislation. I assume this could not be used in a non til field?
Doesn’t have to be ploughed, just incorporated, we use the Solo in the video. Depends on your drill, if sludge can be used in a no till situation. A very low disturbance disc drill would not be good but a tine direct drill which creates a lot of soil movement would be ok.
People in high places need to listen to you and they probably do. You speak nothing but common sense. It is little wonder you run such a successful operation.
Thank you but they don’t listen enough as some gov policies are still being pushed out which will be very damaging.
