Nice change of scenery though northern France has similar weather 😜 glad to see a combine safe from fire 🔥🙏🏼 Lovely memories from your time in there 🤠 always good to see how other countries farm. Less of a rat run in rural areas.
I visited Mont Saint Michel about 50 years ago - there was a shuttle service to get there and back - a huge, ancient ex military Berliet truck. With what looked like old tram seats on the flatbed, completely open to the weather.
It’s great to have photos to look back on to bring back memories. Yes more French farming with little Tom 😂. So lucky with the combine. As if farming isn’t hard enough.
While at farm college they took us to few farms in France.One of the farms grew rice so got to see real paddy fields.The health and safety wasn’t great remember walking across a yard with one corkscrew screw auger.
Hi Tom loved your French trip and a glance of your experience of French farming, we live in France on a small holding where life is good and pretty chilled. Yes agree the majority of growers take their combinable crops straight to the local co-op store , where at least it's weighed in so you know your yields but never sure on the marketing or pricing structure. I put a field of sunflowers in for a friend and near neighbour this May now they are over 1.5metres high and in full flower already sold to the French rspb . In 2022 there must of been 10 or 12 combine and baler fires in the area. It got so hot and dry that the communes stopped all combines for 2 weeks as the fire brigades were so busy on fire fighting duties it was impossible to attend most fires. Now you have to have a water tanker on standby ready in case of fire. Keep it up Tom love to see more of you youth in France.
I had been lucky as I never had any fires when I was out there, not even a smolder. Thanks for the look back in time, nice Lambo. Thanks for posting....
Love the French trip and the history, I was very confused about the Leics fire engines being out there for a second though! Glad they could save the combine.
First went to Mont St Michel when I was about 10 - comparable to St Michaels Mount in Cornwall. Happened across a V2 Launch site inland between Calais and Dunkirk. Enormous concrete structure, almost cathedral like, and even bigger than your barns. The roof was very thick and Tallboy bombs were used to penetrate it, Le Blockhaus d'Eperlecques.
Amazing monastery! Really cool! Thanks! I mean, if you want to make another hat for yourself, “Tom Lamb - He’s a FarmIng Historian”, I’ll watch. lol Cheers! 🍷
Cheers Tom, great video. Appreciate the bit of variety. I wonder if one of the phrases the French combine driver used was "Oh putain" ! Look up the translation. 🤣. PS: don't worry it's not rude!
Don't worry about taking your shoes off as I hear the French like cheese, is the french farmer who got the combine stuck where you got your driving stile from, pedal to the metal 😉hope you had a good trip👍
Fascinating stuff what the Germans left behind after the war. I’ve been to the Netherlands a few times and been to many different war cemeteries and bunker fortifications.
Ah, the reason why the French refer to European health and safety laws as ‘les Lois Anglais’. Only the Brits enforced them, and we were stopped from having fun like you had back then. Such good memories of falling off the back of a Land Rover as it bounced across a field, while we were all in the back trying to hold on to hay bales. It’s probably why kids today cry when you take them more than 10 feet from an internet connection.

Definitely would enjoy some French farming content, especially hard to come by any that is in English:)

They have busses now
Just travelled through France to Spain, would love to some more farming there
Really enjoyed this deep dive into agriculture technology.

Interesting thanks

You are indeed a lucky man. Baling straw isn’t fun anymore when you have lost a baler, always thinking about it

La couple
Rock on Tom , great to see you on tour. A bit of Frank strikes again with the weather forecast lol .
Thanks again mucka . More please.
All the best 👍👍
Lovely video, wonderful photos. Is so scary how fast a fire can start . I think it would be very interesting to about farming in France ❤
Forget it! Never seen the many videos of protesting French farmers? Never heard about the high souicide numbers of French farmers?
If the French aren’t drinking wine they are protesting
thank goodness for wine
Amazing monastery! Really cool! Thanks!
I mean, if you want to make another hat for yourself, “Tom Lamb - He’s a FarmIng Historian”, I’ll watch. lol
Cheers! 🍷
Thanks
Love to see more, but please do the entire commentary in the style of René Artois from Allo Allo, or the Gendarme, officer Crabtree
Cheers Tom, great video. Appreciate the bit of variety. I wonder if one of the phrases the French combine driver used was "Oh putain" ! Look up the translation. 🤣. PS: don't worry it's not rude!
Il look
Would be nice to see more of your tour of France
All farming locations can be cool. Enjoyed your video today thanks.

I enjoyed the Tom Lamb memoirs
Don't worry about taking your shoes off as I hear the French like cheese, is the french farmer who got the combine stuck where you got your driving stile from, pedal to the metal 😉hope you had a good trip👍
Thomas Agneau, c'est un agriculteur!
Qui
Brilliant video Tom thanks for sharing 😊
liked the photo of the LAMBoghini ;-)
Excellent video Tom!
it's a shame you weren't that far from my farm
Your videos are the best!
more please
Brilliant Tom
I bet you got a lot of great memories though life, and if you wanna share, I'm all ears and eyes on the matter :)
Happy days
How’d they get that stone up there? Apparently it was some hard working bloke called Thomas Agneau. Didn’t like cats according to unknown sources… :)
A husk of a Valtra on the A15 towards Scunthorpe, all burnt out.
Fascinating stuff what the Germans left behind after the war. I’ve been to the Netherlands a few times and been to many different war cemeteries and bunker fortifications.
For some reason i thought you were going to france to do combine harvesting
Good story
Can't believe you didn't take the red love machine to drive around in
👍
Thanks Tom
9:59 great content again
OMG they allowed Tom out of the country! 😮 what could possibly go wrong 😅
Very interesting thanks could live in France myself. Is your family still out there ?
Not anymore
love it
"This is where they filmed Harry Potter" "Really?" No
3:00 This is where they filmed Harry Potter 🤣🤣🤣
More franch farming 👌
Abroad not aboard
Aboard means you are on a ship/plane/train

You’ve done those things, it’s so obvious. Love watching you and Colin working together.👍
