My heart drops every time the dogs get too close to any moving machinery 😮💨
Nice to have an extra episode, Thanks
I do watch them and if they look like they get too close I do call them away, you don’t hear it though because I edit it out.
Cor, we’re getting a lot of Wardy this week! Nice treat for a Friday night on the sofa with a glass of decent red, a bar of chocolate and my lovely cat on my lap! Great footage of the cleaner in operation. Looking forward to Sunday’s video!
Spoilt or what?!!!!
Great video as usual. Amazing what difference a few dry days makes. If my beet looked anywhere near as clean as yours in the heap I’d load it straight over the side of the lorry - forget the cleaner loader.
We never load over the side, even when bone dry, we always get some soil out. We got no end out of the last heap. I’ll go through the beet figures in the next video.
Great to see some field work - at last the weather gives you a break.
brilliant as usual , hope the drilling goes well and the weather settles
Well done for being able to get on abit with the land work. Been watching Farmer Stephen on UA-cam and he using a Ropa Maus a Self Propelled Sugar Beet Loader, an impressive bit of kit.
We’ve never used one but it is some piece of kit, I think around £300k
Good to see some diesel being burnt getting land ready for sowing. Bottle trick for levels very ingenious
Great video Andrew, good to see the solo working, no doubt your pop to ollys to have a look at his new beast, water ways look nice now they had a clean.
😂 We’ve had 3 of the beasts!! Great tractors but very thirsty and can be expensive to maintain.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard 94 litres an hour with the top down he said on video.
@laytonphillips6667 That’s good, we used to get up to 110 litres / hour with our 620 Quad!! That’s one of the reasons we swapped for the 8 RX, it uses 70 litres with the same machine on the back!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard big saving.
Interesting video 👌
great stuff carnt beat a bonus video
That cleaner is a nice bit of kit doing a grand job, the land is coming down nicely lets hope it stay dry so you can get on .
Rain now. ☹️
We have rain here in Suffolk this morning 🥲@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard
The further adventures of Narla.
😊😊😊😊
I always like watching everything you got going on with the solo machine. Quite a deal.
Liked the spirit levels on the solo, might steal that idea, was it successful ?
Shame about the extra culti press pass, what would that cost ? Some times peace of mind has to be considered. No good wishing you'd carried out that extra pass when the combine won't pick up off undeveloped ground.
Looking forward to weaving footage. Tine drills don't work for us, too much stone.
Unlevel ground not undeveloped !
Yes, it worked a treat.
I would suggest Narla’s life expectancy is quite short, she doesn’t seem to respect the heavy machinery
Thank you. She does, I keep a close eye on her
Wrong bucket rake bucket
Cutting blade on front hope
Angela water been told
Defra pay lot drag on diss
Pulling a pair turning on
Headland she better job

Seed's Mr Lincoln
Home luquorice bush
Great jop
The video finished a bit abruptly you were just about to talk about the trailer with auger ?
It’s in tomorrow’s update.
What about the second hand trailer with an auger on it ?? you cut yourself off...
Check out update 238!!!
Another great, fantastic, interesting, awesome, brilliant, lovely, video. 👌
Great Video Andrew, My only concern with the solo is the "split" discs at the front, is suspect the "fast" discs don't need to skill to set them up for level beds, the sugar beet was very interesting, thanks for sharing
Cracking update again Andrew, the ground is looking good mate as long as it stays dry so you can get some crops in. We’ve only had 2 dry days here so not much going on still. 😊
Andrew did you said that you should barley for animal feed for 40 pounds per ton? in Greece the price for Barley this year was the same for food or animal food it was 160 euros pre ton in UK you have different prices ?
£140/ton
Its good to see an improvement in the weather, we tried a short disc last year, disapointed really as couldnt stop them leaving a cut on the one side, had to do it in lands, like conventional ploughing
A great video Andrew nice to see you about to get out on the Land.
I look forward to Sunday Video at breakfast 😊
Ground looks drier than Ollys,forcast rain again on the west side,Cheltenham week can be quite mixed,4 seasons in one day
Our light land is but our heavy land is wetter than his.
Trainloads of UKR grain were allowed to flood the market to artificially suppress inflation levels.
Big corn maize crop depressing prices
Great video Andrew good see you getting on with the spring work
Hi Andrew
We in Australia have started a Senate inquiry into price gouging from the two major supermarkets Coles and Woolworths.
Interviews in front of a Senate committee began on Wednesday in Tasmania.
Most of us will be invited to contribute incamera and anonymous as not to be picked off by the supermarket buyers in April
School packs of apples are being sold for $1 and are on the supermarket shelves for $3.50 and there is a bidding process to be able to supply and only the lowest price is expected by the supermarkets.
All sales to supermarkets are below the price of production for every commodity in fruit and vegetables and of course meat.
Rural Australian is on its knees.
Shooting new borne lambs as there is no feed and the returns if you did will not pay for it. Prices at the sale yards is $3 per head and the fright is $5 per head so you do the maths.
We have been receiving $0.66 per kilo back to the farm gate for apples and they are on the supermarket shelves for $7.00 a kg and people can’t afford them.
We in Australia may have to take some tips from the French farmers, it is going to get interesting.
Regards from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Very interesting, thanks for that. We need to be doing something similar but our government don’t seem interested despite the supermarkets publishing record profits year on year.
Great to see you getting the beet away Andrew, what’s your view about the merger between Tate & Lyle and Whitworths ? Will it help or hinder the market as far as growers are concerned that supply British Sugar, maybe you could voice your thoughts on one of your updates
Have a great weekend
Not heard about it, I’ll do a bit of digging.
Sum land you have ....
We have some other which is not very nice!!
what do they use all that sugar beets for?
Sugar. English sugar beet is processed by British Sugar and ends up in a Silver Spoon bag. The by product is used for livestock feed so there’s zero waste. Foreign sugar cane ends up in a Tate & Lyle bag.
$270 ton in Australia pesos is not good coin for barley. It costs around $400 a hectare to grow it here
I think that’s more than here.
0:07 great content
Seems you should change from the solo to something else, maybe a vaderstaad top down
😂😂😂
Nice to see a HGV driver with a broom in his hand.
It is, we’ve had a good few lately which is great. 😊👍
By hook or by crook the spring crops are going in👏💪🚜
Heavy land not a goer yet. ☹️
Your land is in far better condition than Olly Harrisons Andrew, he driving quadtrack through water in places !!.
😂😂🤦♂️
Quads are great tractors, we’ve had 3 but you sometimes go in conditions you shouldn’t!
Olly will need a mortgage to keep it fueled!!. Especially if the government decides to put you all on white diesel !!
