It’s good shit you’re talking Richard lol and it’s good for my mental health. Really appreciate you doing these videos. I reckon every farmer in the country should sign up to these schemes and sit back for a year or two. Easy money
Never underestimate the value of talking bollocks, it's therapy. Best way to deal with all the shite I find is not to worry about what you can't control, which is most of it really. It'll dry, it always does. Comparing disasters with others is always good too - he that never ailed nowt never did nowt. With you on the SFi, it certainly has a place
You dont talk bollux chap. You talk the truth and it's from the heart. You're spot on about the mental health side of things as well. It's bl00dy horrible and dont i know it. In a better place now thank God. Never be afraid to talk about it either. There's alot of care out here mate. On the crop side, ever thought about those Capulet beans? Andrew Ward tried them this year. Looks like they showed some promise. Take care and have a pint on me!
The view from the field with wellies on is always interesting. A scheme to encourage farmers to not produce food is an interesting policy. Best of luck & enjoy your break.
Great video. We've given up with rapeseed total waste of time. We grew linseed last year. It was easy to combine we have planted even more this year which has got away great. We're lucky really haven't had any flooding and crops are looking well. Looking forward to seeing you. Regards to the family and farm crew
Thoroughly enjoy your rants and talks Richard,they make sense to me so dont worry about that.The one field of oilseed rape looks good but no good if the rest isnt.I would be tempted to lift some of that beet.
Stupid situation when it’s more profitable to grow crops to feed wild life and not the human population. Fodder beet look good big roots hope you get them harvested
Rich may I say that although you farm your farm well and to the best of your ability, there is a bigger if somewhat confused picture of the way ahead as far as the Government see it and if you are struggling against the elements and soil conditions OSR etc perhaps it makes more sense to go for the ski option. If there is in fact too much of a take up. I would say the Government parties would mitigate against this by producing qualifying standards to reduce payouts but your emphasis on good seed rates etc should see you home. I get the feeling you are sensitive to your environment and as custodian of your land would take some enjoyment out of viewing healthy wildlife populations. Then again if Labour get in next year or so will they have a different outlook? It’s a confused picture politically and weather wise. I don’t envy you. Take care all at Dove.
Great update Richard, can't you get an old fodder beat harvester and do it yourself, millet,canary, peas, sunflowers, grain maize, winter linseed as alternative crops? Seed merchants taking p*ss that's about right, another no bullsh*t no b*llocks video. Growing birdseed, your be wearing a dress next rich.
It’s sad to hear a farmer talk about putting land down to SFI but you need to make a living some how. Saying that, I can’t get any government help as technically I’m not farming, horses are leisure 🙄🤦♂
I’d sooner listen to you ‘talking a load of bollocks’ than most people who think that they are talking sense. Keep it up!
I agree with that.
You’re a good lad Richard and really enjoy listening to you speak so passionately about your farm, it’s really infectious
Love these ramblings over breakfast. Sets the day up well. Keep at it Richard.
Richard you’ve not got a patch on those idiots in Westminster they talk bollocks all the time,love your videos,take care thinking positive.

I have 120 acres in arable and have applied for my SFI putting 10 acres into a herbal lay and 90 acres into wild bird feed no reply yet.
Great video always interesting ,I'm happy to sit and listen to you telling it how it is .
Richard The government can renege on agreements and not pay. The older generation have seen it before.

Did you have any problems coping with the straw of the linseed ?
The straw situation will be tighter still if everybody jumps on these schemes & plants less corn.
Fair play keep doing what makes a few pound whether it be schemes or not.... Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪

Surprised you didn’t buy old beet harvester
Would it be a as easy but your heavy tillage land in grassland and get 2 3 cuts silage than them schemes ?
Walking about taking bollocks. 😂
