I really like these educational videos. Its great to see how other countries do farming. The tech is so fab; this from an old school dairy girl. Farming sure has come a long way
Old school (50+ years ago) beef and pig US farm girl. Father had first on farm computer in NC. Blown away by current technology! Amazing! Thanks for sharing with the world.
Great video. That setup is very impressive but the main thing I noticed was how clean everything was and how light the buildings are.
Dutch farmers, Norwegian, Swiss are the cleanest ive ever seen. England and Ireland have the dirtiest dull looking barns ive ever seen weather they are in thier homeland or here in North America
Hi Papa Tom. See: Tenth Generation Dairyman. They've been running the new Robot Feeding System for a few months now. They built three silos, and have the whole automated system they built from the ground up. Located in Pennsylvania. (we've named them Rosie and Evie)
This too is my only "Knowledge" of a feeder system. The lely Vector. Was curious about the capacity when he said 700 kilos. seemd mighty small. The Lely Vector can carry @ 20000 kilos per load. That's a WHOLE lot more. And as with the 10th Gen Farmer, Silos take up very little space; his were 130' tall. WOW!!
Good video with them working in the snow, have watched the farm for some years.
@@billjoat 10th generation has a great sistem he realy put a thought in it
Eric and family have a great system, basic but good for high volumes.
These Dutchmen have a more complex control system.
@@billjoat but they are feeding 8x/day!
Tom, thanks so much for sharing this farm visit. I’ve seen a lot of Lely farms, but not as many GEA robotic farms - am glad to see the differences. Not sure about price comparison, but I’m liking the GEA system better. I think once your time is freed up more, you can also do more tidying up projects around the farm, like those floor coatings under the feed if you want. France’s farm is practically spotless! Your farm would do very well with a system like that, time for some creative grant searching… 💷 Cheers from Houston, Texas
Fantastic video Tom! I was blown away, and found it really interesting.
Lots of foundation ideas for you to lay, for when you get to that point….
Be the leader in this country Tom, you’ve got this 💥
I would have guessed double for the capital cost, when you start factoring feeder wagons, tractors. labour Providing you have the shed space and suitable yards. I can see a the sums adding up. Ironically the need for a cowman is replaced with an IT tech. BTW the fellow from Gea is super smart.
I was also surprised the feed system was only £300,000! I was expecting this to be around a million pound or (slightly more) investment as a turn key project.
Wow Tom, that was a seriously impressive dairy set up. Had to smile though when you mentioned "See Dad" when they talked about adding a little water to bind the minerals to the feed. 👍. Robots are great when they work like that but you still need the old school skills should something go wrong which is probably why the farmer hasn't got rid of his feeder trailer yet. 🤔.
What an awesome farm this is, so clean and next gen. If only the higher ups government could see stuff like this and how efficient it is. The best for the cows and best for you getting the best output. Awesome video Tom!
Well in the Netherlands they are trying to get rid of some farmers because of nitrogen emissions... politicians...
@@HammieNLdon’t forget a previous government incentivised farmers to increase cow numbers to unsustainable levels on the basis they could export slurry out of the country. When the neighbouring countries stopped in porting they were stuck. Hence the need to drastically reduce numbers to a level where their own soil can cope with the nutrients produced. With the high water table & all those open drains, I’m guessing compliance is a nightmare
Amazing to see, going from feeding 2 hours a day to 15 minutes is such an efficiency, insane. Oh and as a Dutchman, no swearing and all translated correctly :)
The first thing that amazed me was how clean everything was...and so light and airy...also the cows don't seem that bothered...mind you they have known no other life...I'd bet 'Father' is going to mad if Tom mentions putting water in the feed...now let's see what the next jaunt will bring...good one Tom...😃🌠
This is the best video out there about feeding robot! We are in the process of building a new farm and are considering adding an automatic feeding system. It would be so much less work.
@@MareksAtTheFarm thanks mate 😊😊
40:00 hear that rattling on the Fendt? It´s the A/C Compressor. Belt tightening bolt always rattles lose, doesn´t lose the tension only rattles.
Tremendous video. Really good to see how others do it. Very well explained by the danish guy 👏🏻
@@jameswardle7977 He was great! 😊
I'm looking for a new house to buy at the moment. This farm is so much cleaner many of them for sale. A great credit to the farmer and his system. These cows are spotless and in very good condition.
Great video Tom, thanks for showing us around.
The farmer his name isnt France :-) his name is Frans 🙂 i am a dutchie and have been last year in the UK and on your farm / shop 🙂
Calf barn first Tom, designed to retro fit auto feeders.
Love their barns, tall, with large central ridge of rooflights.
This has to be one of the most advanced automated feeding systems I have seen on youtube. But it is only the 3rd one I have seen, firsr one I seen was a lot more mechanical and only fed out twice a day basically replacing humans in the job but taking just as long. It's amazing how much more advanced these systems get in a very short time period
Since dairy cows may need up to 120 litres of water everyday, adding some to their TMR makes sense for a whole variety of reasons.
I love seeing this technology.
It is so interesting.
Excellent video Tom
Hello Tom,
Im from the Netherlands, And i have a Dariyfarm in Germany. Its cool to see you in the Netherlands.
What a brilliant system, those cows looked happy and really healthy as well which is never a bad thing. Lots of people I dare say won't like it, but evolution in farming has been going on since the 1st plough was invented, the downside is that you don't need as many people involved, the upside, you don't have to pay wages or worry about someone not turning in.
Great blog as always TP and we can clearly see that the cyber/digital dairy farmer has landed!!! Innovation in your sector and across many sectors of our agricultural landscape is moving at a pace. How can we ensure that digital / cyber security / safety is in place so that our for farmers, their businesses, their families and their livestock are safe from those criminal elements that would be looking to capitalise on farmings developing exposure on-line ! Hope to hear from you soon.
At first I thought, 300 k nuts! But then I started to think about it and a feed wagon and half useful tractor in front of it is going to cost you 150k so if you think about it he’s getting an extra 3 kg a day out of a system suitable for 220 cows for 150k so realistically he could get 660 kg a day which is 240,000 kg a year and at 50 cents per litre that’s €120,000 per year, maybe we are the short sighted ones who haven’t put in this sort of system even allowing that most of us already have a feeder and tractor to pull it even if you just park it up and put in a similar system for those of us with a couple of hundred cows, even with interest your looking at less than a 3 year pay back and you save time! If maintenance costs are not too extreme this is a runner, it would be interesting to know how much electricity it uses and if the savings on diesel is covering this also. Regards from Ireland
My thoughts exactly.
And with that system there is no need for a automatic feed pusher. So thats another 20 k on top of the 150 k.
Great video Tom! Great to see alternatives to the red robot feeder. A really efficient way of feeding stock.
Yeah welkom to the lowlands of holland tom I'm from the east of Holland good to see you here
Fascinating video. Thanks for bringing us along.
The automation is amazing, Tom you should do it, just go for it!!!
Good evening, Tom. What an amazing dairy farm that was. I wish the one I worked in was like that. So when are you putting all the feading robots in yours. Grwat video. First class
The farm you visited with the robot is a farm where we deliver food for their pigs!
Hi Tom
Hope everything is ok
As Havent seen you post a video all week .
What’s rarely mentioned about Holland is that their soils are mostly deep peat. The reason it all needs managed now is that in times past they ‘harvested’ 2mtr of peat off the top. I wonder if they regret that now.
if i am not mistaken, when peat dries it shrinks. So lowering the water levels to much is counter productive. The water management is a trade off for farmers, water quality and also maintaining houses. Some cities were build in the day with wooden poles under the footings. If those are under water they don't rot, but as soon as the water level drops and oxygen gets to the wood they start to rot. Its a difficult mix of different interests. And there is no clear answer. Farmers want lower water levels (earlier access with heavy machinery), cities want to preserve...
Brilliant video Tom amazing how they have used technology in farming thankyou for sharing with us.
Nice to see all that. I like teh pens for the calves and the pans for calving. some good ideas for you there.
Hopefully you chatted with them abit about how they work the fields with such a high water table. They've got more more water than you do and nowhere to drain it to.
The technology is amazing Tom as always it's a great video 😊
That's AMAZING. Lot of money yeah, but look what your getting for it. I'd say very reasonable. Cheers Tom, that was really interesting. 👍👍💛💯💯💯💯💛👍👍
Welcome to my wonderful country!!
Look this is a really nice system. love to see more of these. but ever heard of the lely vector? works about the same i reckon
Your wish list is getting longer and longer.😊😊😊
Getting buying your lottery tickets.
Thanks for a great video.😊
Calf barn first..
@@basarabstefan8199 💯
Brilliant content again Tom. The cost of £260k doesn’t sound to bad, would you save that on not having a dedicated tractor, feeder and operator over shortish period?
That was actually a lot less money than I was expecting it to be!
27:51 that is some clever tech! Omg 👍
WOW!! That's a strong looking proper shear grab.
Outstanding. set-up- Such an educational episode....Well done Tom !!!!!
Go to Father and Son ran farm they put that system in last year.its,10th Generation Farmer.Also if you want to see fields with ditches go to the Isle of Axeholme Lincolnshire they have plenty there
Brilliant video Tom! Really interesting….
Hi good afternoon Tom from Indiana
Fantastic farm. Well done France.
Fabulous farm & technology! Great presentation Tom!
Trading success requires technical analysis skills, discipline, and emotional maturity. It’s not about timing the market, but being prepared for it. Sophia Haney’s wisdom, daily trade signals, and my commitment to learning have led to steady increases in daily earnings to over 16BTC. Keep up the great work!
I hope this inspires someone to start investing today, regardless of age. I wasn’t financially free until my 40s, but I’m still in my 40s with a third property, passive income, and four of my five goals. Investing in the financial market was a wise choice. Thanks for sharing this incredibly inspiring video!
Diversify your income streams to boost your earnings. This year, I’ve successfully done this by investing while I work. I invested through Sophia Haney, the CNBC anchor who often mentioned her. She invested my startup capital in less than three months after getting certified.
I have been quite cautious to get involved in this specific industry, but I believe that this is the perfect time to do so. I went to a seminar where the speaker discussed how lnvesting in cryptocurrencies may result in gains in the near future of well over $4.5 million. I have to know which coin to buy with.
I invested across major markets and follow Sophia’s rules, a great financial advisor. My portfolio has grown by 20-30% monthly while my IRA stagnates. Her exceptional diversification skills have not limited my portfolio to my choices; they reflect her placements. She provided me with financial independence.
That’s great! Your investment advisor must be excellent. I’ve read about people who improved their financial stability with investment advisors. Can you tell me who your broker is? I have $500,000 set aside for the stock market to boost my income.
Fantastic system! I would say good value for money, I thought it would be at least 600k. The front tyre idea on the Fendt is so logical, but I would never have thought of it. Really good content, goes to show we all need to get out of our bubbles!! Thank you
Very good interesting video well done tom 👍
Cracking video Tom.
Really interesting video. Shows what the future of farming will look like.
Couldn’t stop commenting…. Eeeek baby calf born, good omens for you Tom 😌
Robots can’t deliver Calf’s…. Yet, still needs human input.
Hi Tom they seem to have things sorted out and it works well good video 😊
great video , mooie video , i hope you learn a lott
This was excellent Tom very,very interesting stuff.
🤜🏼⚡️🤛🏼
This was really interesting. I would love to know the yield increase that they are seeing and if that helps offset the expense. Yes, there is labor time saved, but.....
I think there are hybrid solutions that will be nearly as beneficial for much less cost.
Goodg tò see how every where is nice and clean
It's just amazing how things are done.
Have you also seen "the ones a day farmer"his new virtual fencing system ? That is something for your farm
@@patricklipsius8380 would love to see it!!
Fantastic set up.
All that is just mind blowing 🤯
I love these tours & seeing all the different automated stuff. But to rely strictly on a computer to tell you if your cow is in the right condition or not 🤷♂️ i don't know. What are they going to do if something wipes out the computer robot system? That'd be my worry. But so awesome.
Nice that you look in my country a the farms
Fantastic video Tom thank you for sharing it
Absolutely amazing. A little different from when I milked 100 cows in 4 stanchions at a time. Fantastic.
KEEP UP WITH YOUR FANTASTIC VIDEOS TOM
@@lynneshaw9209 thank you 😊
Wow, amazingly interesting video. robotic farm could be the future? amazing tech, never seen this before and great.
beautiful farm, I don't think the feed stays that fresh in those bunkers in summer because it is quite loose in the bunker. I am more in favor of a selfpropelled feedmixer. But that's my opinion. if this works well for the farmer, his choice when labor is a limited factor. Let me know if you ever come to Belgium if you want to visit a diary or beef farm here 😉🇧🇪
This is very nice video to see how farmers are in The Netherlands!
Im proud to be dutch tom. You have to visit the fam. Verbakel vredepeel the one of the bigest diary milking coursel of Holland and farm I think.
Brilliant video Tom, that is some operation.
I understood one word in one hundred, but it seemed our Dutch friends have an epic system and some powerful kit.
But iin Holland to drainage is amazing I done 18 months of drainage in holland
Check out 10th Generation he has similar Feeder .
Tom should pay him a visit..
Hello Tom welcome to the Netherlands i hope you enjoy your time hear
This was such an interesting video! Thank you for sharing all this technology with us.
so interesting, thanks for showing us
39:50 Slurry and manure are not allowed to come in contact with rainwater. Always amazed me that it is allowed in the UK.
Great video love to see all the red and white Holstein my problem with all the technology is everyone wants to be a farmer and not do the work and have contact with the animals and what happens when the motors start to wear out
Somebody was inspired by the sand people crawler 17:21 from the original Star Wars 😂
Awesome technology for animal care
25:18 we looked at doing a batch milking set up, dad went to a farm in holland to see it but said that you spend all day moving cows around and need a high number of robots for the cows. We went for a traditional robot set up instead, best thing we did
I can't believe the milking station that is insane how the milkers just moved and attached themselves onto the cows teets my mind is blown 🤯
Iowa Dairy Farmer often does reels about it on Facebook. I believe he has Lely robots.
Some fantastic kit but you would need a standby generator. With my maintenance hat on I'm thinking there are a lot of things that can go wrong on a fully automated system. How long before farms need to employ a maintenance technician full time?
Good to see you in my country welcone to holland 😊
Tom it's not Deutschland, we sort of had a world war about that...
Orginally it was mullerup system, GEA bought that. It's nice, good video to see. And steer is on the right and right is correct ;))))
This is not a mullerup system. GEA bought it, but this one is completely reinvented. The mullerup devision, is stopped few years back
@@vk291990 The basic was made there. Those boxes were on mullerup already. Like most things, gea buys fabrics.
@@JR-mv7uz Even the boxes are complete different from mullerup.
@@vk291990 Dan geloof jij dat maar mooi dat GEA dit helemaal zelf heeft bedacht. Nu blij?
Unbelievable thank you so much 👍🏴
Well worth a look at feeding with a Lely Vector: O'Harte's Farm, Monaghan, Ireland (GRASSTEC video 11/02/2004) amazing technology
Lots of wows wow wow great video
How long ago did you visit this farm, I noticed you had your wedding ring on still, so it had to be 8 months or longer. Was a really nice farm and so clean. Sounds like you need to get poop scrappers and you will get your numbers down to almost 0. How Did that feeding cart run all over the barns? I didn't see any rails or tracks for it to follow. Also how do the cow's, equipment move over the ditched? Looks like you guys could put a few ditches on your farm, seems like it would help dry up some fields faster. Great video
@@pamelanoirot1427 I think it knows through laser but that’s one thing I didn’t ask. No metal strips though
The cart is moving with 3D laser scanners
The Dutch are a lovely bunch of people
A good bunch of flowers too.
See a wedding band on your finger hope it’s good news you’re back with Jo and Harvey ❤
"...back with"⁉
Not if he has any sense!
He has a lot of maturing to do
I just spent some time catching up (sort of) on other platforms as best I could. I don't recall a break up with Jo being mentioned on this channel.
They only got married two years ago and poor kid is just gone one year old.
Odd that TH-camrs open up their lives to camera then go silent as soon as something actually serious happens in their life that fans would be curious to know.
@wyndhamhewlett8223 Why shouldn't he get back with Jo?
Any change in opinions of loader tractors after today tom 😁👍🏼
@@Fraserkent nooooo tele handlers for the win!
That’s some clever farming. Hands free almost.
Fascinating 👍🏻
Very impressive!
It’s a great system but all that happens is you move the human input from the feeder to the hoppers in reality does the system really cut time ?
So you have now seen how 10th Generation Farmer has got on with his system.
I was just about to put about the 10th Generation Dairyman
@ Tom most probably got this trip as a freebie, who put in his new parlor system?
