    Rumors this morning are Starmers starting to get a bit stressed, keep up the pressure, im predicting fallouts in government late spring. Of course you're not going to have any hydraulic fittings that go straight on Andrew, that would be a boring life. Thanks for all the interesting videos this year, and the hard work and travelling about recently, Merry Christmas to you, Rhonda and the lads.

    Well done for all the work you have done in opposing these death taxes! When I was younger I never understood why my dad disliked the labour party so much ,he hated Blair for expanding the welfare state, now I find myself ranting to anyone who will listen about Starmer! Good to see Lincoln and forest doing well I follow both as I live on the border with lincs ! Had some good days as a boy at sincil bank

    A very Merry Christmas to you and yours and the hope that 2025 is both healthy and prosperous for all.

    Lovely update! Nice to hear about the farm cats… I thought my beloved cat was pampered but that cat flat is very comfortable, I’m surprised they venture out for rodent control duty! My feline has had his nose pushed out of joint because we’ve custody of my sister in law’s labradoodle for three weeks. They’re fighting like… well… cat and dog, obviously. On another note we were in the supermarket yesterday and noted all the veg (from Yorkshire and Norfolk) at 15p/pack. I wonder how much of a loss that incurs, and whether it’s just the supermarket or the farmers too who are being squeezed by those low prices. I gather essentials are loss leaders and they lose money on fruit, veg, milk and bread but recoup their losses on other lines, which says something about how little consumers value proper food. My grandfather was a greengrocer in Boston for 35 years, but there’s no way he could compete with those prices.

A Happy Christmas and a fruitful New Year and a successful outcome to your campaigning.

They have taught me a lot that I had either forgotten, or didn't know, and now enter the new year with anticipation, as to what you will teach us next year.Thank you! As always, look forward to the new season updates and look forward to the Cereals Event next year. Now is the time to stock up your reserves for the next move to defeat this so called "government" policy and overturn all the damage they are inflicting on the farmers and small businesses with this punitive tax, that they don't give a monkeys about! Teach them a lesson they won't forget in a long time!

    I understand a bushel is about a skep full, we used to use some oak woven skeps for feeding chopped turnips. My dad told me about seventy years ago that they held a bushel. Then again we had a tin skep which held about half a hundred weight of barley when it was level and that was also about bushel, but as you say the weight of it would depend on the size of the grain. Maize grain clearly would be a different weight to oats.
    So thats my waffle as a contribution to your channel.😊.

We were staying in a holiday let in the village and meet a farmer with a discovery. He took us for a great ride round his farm. The only other thing I definitely recall was his MF 40 combine just like ours. Happy Christmas from East Kent. (boys land)

    No such thing as interest-free, it's a semantic term only, a portion of the money will be interest. Do you think that companies/ banks will let you have money for nothing? “Banks lend by creating credit. They create the means of payment out of nothing. ” Ralph M Hawtry, former Secretary to the Treasury. 1939 quote .
