It brings a bit of tear to the eye to think about how amazing it is to produce calories from the sun with some clever ideas. Good job Tom on giving some scale and context, and all the people who have got this process figured out.
Great video footage Tom The mechanisation in today farming production would make our grandfathers stand in amazement. Old enough to remember hand pulling headlands for a single row harvester to start And a nearly 12 month waiting pay day
Young people in schools should be shown videos like this so they understand where their food comes from and I’m sure it would also spark their interest in farming and engineering. Some of those machines are so clever.
As someone who lives in a town it is amazing to see how these foods we eat are actually harvested! Thank you for putting these videos up. Amazing! Can't help but feel if I'd seen this when I was a kid I'd want a very different career!
As I'm watching that, I'm thinking that it reminds me of how a CCD image sensor from a camera works. It collects the light, and converts it to stored energy. Then the electric charge is buffered to the edge of the chip and transported away to the central processor for measurement. Then I realised that's exactly what's happening with those sugar beet. Truly incredible process and a totally unique perspective. Very, very cool video!
Great video! More of the general public need to see videos like this to see what goes in to providing them with food and maybe farming wouldn’t be as under appreciated. When you see the machines involved farms are like open air factories
Smashing video tom, space age technology , serious piece of kit, and I know very little about music but that music was lovely, another great video showing how hard working farmers get our good from field to plate.👍
Awesome work on the Drone footage really really good enjoy watching this do like watching whatever you have going great full that I look forward in your video
I'll be honest I joined your channel a few months ago because of Colin Furze, I didn't expect to watch much, but I've watched your videos since and really love them, especially this one with the drone footage. So it's not only a thank you for work you do feeding us but for the great videos. Thank you.
That's an amazing machine. It only serves one purpose to collect and load beets it does the work of 50 men when you think in those terms. Thanks for filming it with a drone in the field, sure is big. Nice one Tom....
Epic machines need epic music! love it , thanks for sharing Tom. Got some farming sim vibes flying around the vehicles! Hats off to you and the team for all the hard work!
It's just so awesome the machinery that is built. And to think someone came in and put this together. Thanks for the nice video. Plenty people think food comes only from the store.
With content like this, it won't be long until Tom's channel is as big as those machines. Nice footage, and great music; resulting in excellent content. It's a Tom Lamb video, he's setting a high standard.
Fantastic video, great drone footage. What comes across so well is the amount of precision involved in the whole operation. I am not sure the military could do better. Well done. 😀
Some time ago i lived in the city of Groningen in the Netherlands all the farms around the city grow sugar beets. When i lived there there used to be a big sugar factory next to the city and in the weeks/months the factory was turning the beets into sugar there was a strong smell off boiled sugar beets throughout the whole city.
My Mate used to Work for Roger Warners. I use to drive Plant for a company that contracted to British Sugar at their Cantley Factory when I first left the Army in 2000. I operated Loading Shovels on the Beet intake, Pushing up to Pushing in on a Sunday. To remelting Sugar that wasn't up to scratch, which cleaned the Sugar of anything it had wrong with if, so It went back into the system. Nothing is wasted of the Sugar Beet, they even sold the soil that came in on the Beet after it had been washed. Later on I would work of an other Norfolk Haulage Company transporting Beet into Cantley, Bury and Wissington. Roger Warner was the only one at the time to load beet like this. Most still load via screen deck and loading shovel. I also know how Flammable Sugar dust is after creating a cloud of it and a bulb going on a Loading shovel causing it to ignite. I nearly swallowed my seat, and several swear words were uttered immediately afterwards. As I was breaking up sugar so I could then use the Smallest JCB Telehandler they produced at the time to then take it in to Remelt. Watching your video even brought back the smell of Beet. Cracking video.
@@Tomlamb980 if I remember correctly it has a purple tint to it, I think I was probably breaking up Royal Icing sugar at the time as that is the finest of all the processed sugars. The whole process from field to Factory is really fascinating. Especially once it gets into the factory and the various processes and chemicals used to create the end product. We even had our own Lime Kiln to make Milk of Lime and various acids too.
Thank you for sharing these mechanical marvels with us. What is growing cycle for this crop? What are the economic logistics wrt ownership, rental, etc Do you work as a co-operative with other farmers to maximise use of machines with specific functions
Interesting the way the harvester has the back wheels offset from the front. Is that to spread the load and minimise compaction? We saw you using disk harrows to till some compacted ground near the sugar beet mountain in your last video. There sure is a lot to this farming malarkey.
Hi Tom, that is one of the best drone videos I have seen on farming you tube, the music was a brilliant accompaniment, I do sugar beet carting each campaign & i love it, the chaser looked very good , no deep ruts in the mouse run normally made by the tractor & trailers , Well done keep them coming
Thank you and all the other farmers that put food on our table.
Farmers are Rock Stars!
Thanks Tom!
We put the food on our tables by buying it. Farmers just sell it to make money for themselves they don't care if we eat it or not.
Filming and content was brilliant,thank you Tom for this insight in farming.
Thanks
It brings a bit of tear to the eye to think about how amazing it is to produce calories from the sun with some clever ideas. Good job Tom on giving some scale and context, and all the people who have got this process figured out.
EVERYTHING about this is excellent.
Better than TV. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great bit of filming Tom and superb editing. I am truly in awe at the scale of this operation.
Must've been tricky for that orchestra to balance on top of that drone.
These really are incredible machines. Processing the crop so quickly. But the costs must be eye watering!
Excellent footage. Farming is an essential service
What a dance! Everything working in a set plan, with little time lost... Amazing! Thanx !
As a beef farmer in Derbyshire,,liked this video. 😊
Hi folks , wow 🎉Tom that's a great video 📹 realy enjoyed it great filming and music 🎶 top job great inside into sugar beet harvest 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s amazing the equipment you have these days I used to pick by hand when I I was a kid
As someone who lives in a town it is amazing to see how these foods we eat are actually harvested! Thank you for putting these videos up. Amazing! Can't help but feel if I'd seen this when I was a kid I'd want a very different career!
Amazing bit of kit there
Great video Tom you've got some serious kit on this beet job 😊
Tom wasn't joking when he said the harvesting video "next week you're going to see some really big kit"!!!
Great to see some great British farming in action 🇬🇧
Great dronework, great videography and great editing!!!👍👍👍👍

Love it Tom, true artistry in a field.
Cool video Tom, can’t believe how dry it is. Been a swamp down here in Cornwall.
Great video! More of the general public need to see videos like this to see what goes in to providing them with food and maybe farming wouldn’t be as under appreciated. When you see the machines involved farms are like open air factories
The yellow spider like machine at the end looks a interesting beastie.
Brilliant vid Tom thanks for uploading it 👌
Great video Tom and nice drone footage 👏👏👍👍
Amazing beet loader ❤
Great drone footage mate, really makes difference to feel of the video. Bloody love your feeding nation. Farming at its beast.
Gonna have some serious compaction on that headland !
Cinematic excellence!!! Thank a farmer every day.....
Smashing video tom, space age technology , serious piece of kit, and I know very little about music but that music was lovely, another great video showing how hard working farmers get our good from field to plate.👍
Such a great video today. ✌️
Glad you think so!
Great video and lovely music to accompany the great drone shots.
Modern farming has some amazing bits of kit
Cracking video this one Tom. Love this kind of thing. Thank you.
The engineering in these machines is incredible
Great drone footage of the machines working from the top. I've never known how those big machines work. Good work tTom
Awesome work on the Drone footage really really good enjoy watching this do like watching whatever you have going great full that I look forward in your video

brilliant production tom that is some machinery
That's an amazing machine. It only serves one purpose to collect and load beets it does the work of 50 men when you think in those terms. Thanks for filming it with a drone in the field, sure is big. Nice one Tom....
Wonderful Tom, poetry.
Epic machines need epic music! love it , thanks for sharing Tom. Got some farming sim vibes flying around the vehicles! Hats off to you and the team for all the hard work!
Excellent video of the harvesting process!
Ron
Super video footage.
Excellent editing. Well Done !!
Brilliant drone video 😎 best sugar beet harvest 2 lorry efficiency I’ve seen 🤠
It’s incredible how these farmers and their workers help us by putting food on all around the world.thank you for saving us❤❤❤❤❤
That was a fantastic video showing from ground to truck. Very enjoyable and no idea why there aren't more thumbs up.
Truly sensational Tom!
Cracking machinery there mate. Great video. Cheers
It's just so awesome the machinery that is built. And to think someone came in and put this together. Thanks for the nice video. Plenty people think food comes only from the store.
This video was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for making this kind of content for us Tom!
Perfect music, man.
That was great Tom
Beautiful and fascinating footage.
How about a walkthrough of how those machines work?
Watch my last 2 videos
Perfect music too.
Nice harvest video 😍
Thanks 👍
Great Videos you put out. The fields look so dry. I’m in Thorney area and they are still lakes.
Sorry to hear that
Wow Tom, this video is utterly awesome. Already subscribed, so liked and shared to Facebook.
Awesome, thank you!
That drone footage is next level mate.
Farming of the future will be in the hands of the few.
Great footage Tom, love your content .
Brilliant footage 👌🏻😎 well done the 🇬🇧 Farmers 🙌🏻👍🏻
amazing footage. another great video. can watch this stuff all day
With content like this, it won't be long until Tom's channel is as big as those machines. Nice footage, and great music; resulting in excellent content. It's a Tom Lamb video, he's setting a high standard.
Nice drone footage
A few tonnes of beets there ❤
Only watched as knew Roger when he raced stock cars but what an eye opener an amazing bits of kit had to watch twice so clever.
Thats awesome, those machines are impressive!
Really Interesting Video 👏👏👍
keep up the good work, very entertaining for me.
Great video even if the result is my diabetes getting worse, it is worth it for this footage
Fantastic video, great drone footage. What comes across so well is the amount of precision involved in the whole operation. I am not sure the military could do better. Well done. 😀
Love this footage, I'm glad you opted for the above drone footage, as opposed to the below drone footage 😂😂

Gimme a B gimme a E gimme a E gimme a T, gimme energy. Good filming!
Thank you for sharing these mechanical marvels with us.
What is growing cycle for this crop? What are the economic logistics wrt ownership, rental, etc Do you work as a co-operative with other farmers to maximise use of machines with specific functions
About 7 months cycle no don’t work with other farmers they just grow it and send it all to the same factory
Fantastic video tom lamb the farmer
Thanks 👍
That was really interesting to watch. Loved it🤩
Some setup fair to say. There's a lot of areas there
Interesting the way the harvester has the back wheels offset from the front. Is that to spread the load and minimise compaction? We saw you using disk harrows to till some compacted ground near the sugar beet mountain in your last video. There sure is a lot to this farming malarkey.
Yes
I’ve ran that chaser for Richard before, was an epic job
Really enjoyed that and I thought the music was beautiful . Well done 👏👏👏👍
How do the farmers manage to concentrate with all that orchestral music in their fields?!
They play the music
Hi Tom, that is one of the best drone videos I have seen on farming you tube, the music was a brilliant accompaniment, I do sugar beet carting each campaign & i love it, the chaser looked very good , no deep ruts in the mouse run normally made by the tractor & trailers ,
Well done keep them coming
Thanks very much
That was beautiful
The choreography that goes into a harvest can be quite majestic.
Top Vid.
Great drone footage, how many acres of sugar beet did you harvest?
60 so far
60 so far? how much sugar do you have in your tea 😂
Tom Lamb! You're the MAN! Great Footage.
Outstanding videography and drone airmanship, great soundtrack and the machinery is stunning. Where would we be without the Archimedes screw ? 😊👍🏻
Brilliant video, 👌👍
Those are some high quality graphics coming from Farming Simulator 2022 🤣
Great that the lifter is towed on the wonk a bit, to guarantee it's not crushing the next tow.
