If I may. I really like the way you value your workers. Especially the reaction to the mishap shown honestly in the previous video. You’re a good man Andrew Ward.
I remember back in the day we had some large four wheel bale trailers with turn tables, it was a matter of pride to reverse one of those in to a shed without having to shunt forward. Thank you for the update. It was interesting to note that for the price of two modern balers one could have purchased the Barnby Manor Estate, (1000 acres) near Newark in 1967 for £25000
I was quite proud of the fact,that I was the only one that could back a four wheel trailer into a shed without hitting the doors or pillars,that was with a load of small bales on it. And build a stack of small bales with a pitch roof that didn't fall down,it was build corners right stack will stand.
Good morning Andrew , I know you don’t tend to Plough , I always used to Plough a quarter or a fifth of my acreage depending on field sizes , roundup first . I found it well worth it for structure and weed control . Hope you have a good autumn for drilling , and a proper winter and spring .
Liked the baling and looking forward to the plough footage. No mention of the TB programme though, very interesting and thought provoking , be good to hear an evidence backed flip side to the discussion ! Baling/straw sales figures would be revealing and satisfying.
Nice update Andrew good bit of reverseing there, can remember my first attempt when backing a four wheel trailer into a barn bay with little straw bales on

OMG A PLOUGH!! Just need him to do the rest of the farm now😂 We always hedge cut our main rd on a Sunday morning in the dark all lights flashing for visibility. You should mark a few moles and then we can see how effective the are later on. I've seen animal Mole runs carrying alot of water it's amazing what they can divert. 👍😉
Nice update Andrew, great to see the balers and chaser at work. Hopefully the weather is going to be good next week so you should get on with more harvesting .
Morning Andrew. Cracking update again mate, glad to see your all caught up and it’s all going to plan. We’ve had a bit off an issue down here there as been a few big stacks off bales that have been set on fire buy youngsters which has been a bit off a nightmare.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard 100% mate I totally agree with you, pretty sure one farmer has cctv footage so let’s hope they get caught and dealt with buy the police.
Wearing parts suppliers going to be in demand this year Ploughing might make a come back after last years wet conditions those pans have got to be broken
Looks like self aligning Plummer block bearings so should be beneficial on a long shaft. Worth the investment and proved a worthwhile modification to a number of industrial production machines over the years in my experience. The worst saving you can make in heavy machinery is buying cheap bearings a lesson first learned in the army when so many cheap Polish bearings failed in gunnery owing to cheap purchases by MoD civil Service.
Wardys waffle and his waffler, a plough blimey, your contracting bill must be expensive,,good to see the cover crops going in , your need a 4am start to cut that verge , tom and reuben do some hours for you. Plenty of bales .
In Bolton all garden and food waste goes to a anaerobic digester to generate electricity and a solar farm is on site just off m61 at little hulton in Salford area
A bit of tape or baler twine and you can repair anything.always carried a ball of twine in my pocket all the time when on the farm,still do it now and I'm retired.
Good afternoon Andrew Have you seen the latest video from PX farms, I’ve just put 2 + 2 together and realised the James Peck’s cousin Micheal is the same Micheal married or going to marry your daughter. It made me laugh when James asked cousin Micheal why Mr Waffle looked younger than him? 😂 also why he was moonlighting on your videos as well, great entertainment! I can see a joint video of the 3 of you together having a laugh 😂😂👍
Interesting update! Usually you incorporate all the straw into the soil, to avoid blackgrass contamination, and as green manure, right terminology?!? So with baling it’ll just be the stubble… will that make a difference to the nutrition of the soil with less material being chopped and incorporated? As you’ve baled will you need to compensate with a spray or sewage sludge or something?
Watching from 🇺🇸, I didn’t realize so much of the straw went to be consumed at a power station. I don’t fault farmers at all for seeking out any source of revenue available (I would too) but am glad to hear yours goes for livestock bedding. Seems like a better use…
And that’s only one station 😳 ticks the “eco” boxes but would love to see how it actually stacks. Bit like Drax power station only burns “forestry waste” would be funny if it wasn’t yours and my money paying for this con
Trouble with ploughing ahead of cereals event, all loosened soil will compact easier, so if ploughing at 200 mm then that layer will suffer most. Either way might have a look at Cereals 25 due to its location.
Good to see some ploughing being done. Very informative as usual video Andrew.

Another very interesting update great to see a ploughed field . Good skill reversing into your barn.
It's hard work getting it right 👍 Andrew with the bales let's hope this winter it's dry
Hi Andrew, a great video I am very behind on your video and other to much going on and family visits.
You’d better binge watch them and let me know when you wake up!!
I was driving past yesterday Wardy and had to briefly stop to see if my eyes were deceiving me when I saw a plough in your field! 😂
😂😂😂
Must have sent a shiver down your spine when that plough turned in the gate...know how much you are against it😂🤣
😂😂😂🤦♂️
Todays baling a far cry from the B47 days. Thanks for vlog interesting and informative.

I recorded a bit in the intro but then edited it out because the video is nearly too long.

Great Video Wardy, it's been a while, the cover crop process is interesting, thanks for sharing
J J Metcalfe NG legs are great if you want standardised. Fully interchangeable wing width and leg protection. Highly recommend you have a look.
They gave us one to evaluate before they launched it and it was in the edge of today’s video. I was going to contact them tbh.
great update andrew

Good job you haven’t any mychorizal fungi left in your soil Wardy if your tungsten kit doesn’t kill it your fungicide will !😅
Looks like the wind might have been assisted by a slight lean built into the stack of a fluffy bale?
Be interested to see the contractor spreading the straw on the carrots in time.
Will try to get that.
Great vid thank you 😊

The lack of straw does not help because it’s organic matter going in but I think 1 year won’t make much difference.

There’s a huge amount nationally goes to power stations. They pay more than for livestock bedding.
I believe it.
Your contractors are sure efficient at getting off.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWardonly because the taxpayer subsidises these so “eco” stations. Not paying so much this year I am lead to believe
@johnwarwick4105 I’ve been offered more than I’m getting for livestock bedding
Use old springs from an artic trailer on the skids, lifetime job
Spend all that money on the 8RX and its not got a pick up hitch bloody brilliant that
We’ve got used to it, we had 3 Quadtrac’s previously over 22 years and not one of those did either.
How does AGCO price the same baler with different livery?
Is the Fendt a big premium to the MF?
Is it similar with parts?
I’m not sure.
How are the cover crops doing Andrew on the land that you couldn’t get planted due to the flooding?
Look at updates 276-279! You must of missed them!

Not mine but they are both farmers sons. Look at updates 64,65 and 66.

Only for trial plots 😂

@philipmetcalfe6289 It needs the cultipress across it so will firm it
Nothing to be ashamed of, a plough is as much a strategic tool as a direct drill
