I’m 100000% behind this! I want my food to come from local farmers. I want to know what it’s being sprayed and pumped full off, and that my money is paying someone’s bills not making some billionaires even richer!
So proud of people who stand up for the rest of us. Thanks for taking the time to join the peaceful protest and for taking us along. Some days I don't know how you can still reach into your heart to find the humour in not so funny situations. ❤🚜🦆🐑🐐
Thank you for going on the protest, we definitely need more all over England to raise the profile of what we’re going through. Whether the people in charge like it or not you need a farmer 3 times every single day
Totally support our local farmers! When I can I buy all my fruit and vegetables directly from the farmers, I do or I go without. Our stores are selling fruits and produce from countries I’ve never heard of and I have to google to see if it’s real. Our produce has become so low grade half the time it’s rotten in the centres. When asked, they say they bring us lower quality produce so people can afford it, funny the prices don’t indicate that! I live in ‘beef and oil country’. Haven’t seen grade A beef in the last 35 years as it’s sold to high end restaurants and our gas and oil prices are ridiculous. So when we’re all sick from improper nutrition, I guess they’ll also take away our medical services. I feel for you Chris and I refuse to buy products that aren’t from our local farmers! ❤❤
Farmers are not the problem. If the world wants to reduce emissions then they need to look at China, India, shipping, planes etc. NOT our food source and the farmers that produce it. The world is crazy atm.
Love the spaniel! I am impressed by the job the two humans do as well. Farmers should be reveared. They keep us alive and do it by chasing sick lambs down in mud after a day of mud and misery that would put the majority of us in bed for a week. And then they go late to the party instead of sitting home in tears. Keeping the camera rolling on all of this is vital. People MUST see and wake up.😊
Someday, if you’d like, would you possibly do a video on how you keep all your enterprises organized? Seems like you have sheep everywhere, and cows and ducks and all that. I’d wake up in the middle of the night panicked I’d forgotten a whole flock somewhere. Do you have paper planners, maps, star charts?!? How do you do it? And mad support for local farming.
I absolutely agree with you on this! I think we should defo know where our food comes from! You have to respect the French farmers tho, they certainly know how to strike and make a noise!
Been watching Geryth Win jones from wales on the farming. I watch growing up prime farm land being torn up for homes . I went to a upper middle class school . Do you think they told us anything about agriculture and or farming let alone teach us !? Do you think yhey incourage us to go into farming ? NO .we are ignorient on where food comes from .the public needs real education .and real careers . That is farming . Good luck young man . Thankyou for the vidio
What made you become a sheep farmer Chris. Hahaha. You're a legend Chris. That cracked me up. Had a bad day. Work in an office and just utter idiots all around me today. Thank you so much. Your content makes me smile and wish I was out with you instead. As I have said before. You are both so important to our mental health so please do look after yours. Is buy a beer coming back just to buy you a beer as today's video definitely warrants a few pints and a gin & tonics. Thanks mate really needed that. X
If store customers were able to determine the price they pay for groceries the way the meat/produce/grain buyers determine the price paid for farm goods, they would still be profitable, just not the excess profits they currently enjoy.
Ohhh what joy on a Sunday! Looks like your weather has been as good as ours up here in Suffolk recently.. You'll have to teach indie how to fly the drone Kris!
Thank you soooooo much for sharing. I know that this doesn't compare, but I see the same type of signs in California. The small farmers are a dying breed here, and it's wrong!
Food security is definitely going to be an issue in the not so distant future. I think people can see what's going on and definitely support the farmers. You work all the hours to provide not just for yourselves but for the whole country.
Omg when the "music" was playing was that the tractors beeping to make the song? Or was it actual music from like a radio?? It sounded like tractor hornes beeping!! Lol If it was that was so cool!!! Lol
Definitely problem across western in NZ food prices at all time high stupid in UK NZ lamb is about half the price can buy it for in NZ I'm pleased got chiller and passable butcher skills to keep freezer fill
Farming subsidies is turning into the 70s 80s and 90s where the richer farmers all bought out/lease everything they can to get subsidy money. The government is undoing everything they done over the last 30 years to help the smaller farms get some well earned subsidy and not just the farms that have thousands of hectares
Chris, It’s so counterintuitive to graze a growing crop down to practically nothing. Presumably most arable farmers cannot do this even if they want to. Do you have any info on the crop enhancement achieved by this practice? Do arable farmers, with no access to sheep, substitute the practice with spraying of some description?
Well done to all who are protesting,taking time out from a job that is 7/7 365 days of the year should worry the govt far more than the unemployed job dodgers of just stop oil and Hamas supporters
Good video and good on you for protesting very wet here in Ni too brought our second small batch of sheep in yesterday not due till1st march but fields sodden and worried they need bit of extra feed to keep up their body condition such a winter 🙁
NZ and Aussie are having similar problems with supermarkets - again I say we have given them to much power - we need vege shops and butchers back - we however do not get any govt subsidies but we do get slamed for enviroment issues like the ute tax because we should be using electric vechicles on farm - not sure how that will work with the loads that have to be pulled
@@TifJones-p9z the Canadian diesel electric start up seems promising. Edison Motors. They’re big on repairability, and standardized parts. I’m not giving up or modifying my rig any time soon though.
@@swamp-yankee the range rover diesel electric vechicle was the one that caused the parking building fire in the UK - we have to find alternatives to electric as once the batteries are on fire they have to burn themselves out they can't be put out and the batteries can't be recycled so they are not as green as they seem - bio fuel is an option - sheeps wool turned into fuel (diesel like product) it would make the wool worth something - slash or waste from forestry - all the waste plastic we have so much available turned into a fuel
Enjoy the party. You both scrubbed up well. Tesco’s profits are partly based on the late payments to suppliers thus getting the use of their money for free. I shall try to recommend your channel to Cammy’s sheep fans in the hope of getting you some mire subsribers.
I can't understand why the individuals that grow meat/veg/dairy look to a government to school them on how to earn a living. Legislation for sure is there to cripple, tax, defraud, disrupt and set agenda (on the whole) at the cost of any one whom signs themselves up for the privilege. do you sell your meat direct to the public? or from a food van? or to specialist niche restaurants that appreciate good service? or to halal purchasing communities in bulk? or to sports clubs for bbq's or events? or as spit roasts for events? There is always a way to diversify a business, but farmers keep looking to the government as parents and giving them hand outs that should embarrass any hard working man. How can you put a price on the food you eat? and get tuppence per litre for milk! The roles need to reverse for sure, but at the same time politicians need telling, not begging.
In most case's the market is irrelevant - most are priced against a world commodity price ..ie if sold locally, centrally or shipped the base pricing structure is the same. Even if you want to spend your money locally thinking your doing your bit, most our now owned by world conglomerates and your pound goes elsewhere. Most families now run on 2 incomes so conveince ie supermarket wins. Everyone pound goes the same distance and has got used to having cheap food in order to pay the mortgage in the con of home ownership. Farmers take all the risk and financial hit to provide it and don't want handouts, just a fair deal. Most investment is just because land values are sky high and money borrowed against it rather than reinvestment from production
We are new entrants into agriculture and work bloody hard to scrape and rent a farm...we love it it's a choice, but that's very different to an old money land owning giant that all market systems are geared to.
In 13 years we have averaged 28 pence per litre of milk sold, lowest 15 and top 50. We tried to diversifying but we're told we would be in breach of contract, plus as tenants we don't have the capital, security and long term tenancy to commit. As small family farmers there only so much you can do and fit into a 24 hr day
Would you be a doll and revisit these fields in summer before harvest so we could see what they’re like? I’m intrigued.
I’m 100000% behind this! I want my food to come from local farmers. I want to know what it’s being sprayed and pumped full off, and that my money is paying someone’s bills not making some billionaires even richer!
What Zoe said.
Hello Chris and zoe what I the score with all the goats.are the due for market.thanks for the awsome content 👌
You hit the nail on the head Chris. Subsidy farming is not sustainable farming.
So proud of people who stand up for the rest of us. Thanks for taking the time to join the peaceful protest and for taking us along. Some days I don't know how you can still reach into your heart to find the humour in not so funny situations. ❤🚜🦆🐑🐐
Indie doing what she does best!🐑🐑🐑🐕👌
Thank you for going on the protest, we definitely need more all over England to raise the profile of what we’re going through. Whether the people in charge like it or not you need a farmer 3 times every single day
Just seen you on the telly on Marcus Wareing's Tales from a Kitchen Garden! What a nice surprise cameo

Great vid, don't know how you do it! I have 4 collie's and much less sheep. Well done from a wee Crofter in the Highlands of Scotland
IMO farmers should be a brotherhood that stands together regardless of nationality.
Been watching Geryth Win jones from wales on the farming.
I watch growing up prime farm land being torn up for homes . I went to a upper middle class school . Do you think they told us anything about agriculture and or farming let alone teach us !?

Surprised rishi didn’t do a clap for farmers on Tuesday at the NFU conference.

You could use a second dog. Your spaniel does a great job herding, but two would be better. 👍😊👍
Whose music is that you play, Chris? Lovely stuff.
Omg when the "music" was playing was that the tractors beeping to make the song? Or was it actual music from like a radio?? It sounded like tractor hornes beeping!! Lol If it was that was so cool!!! Lol
I am behind you, buy local
Fyi we still waiting for that documentary of you life still that you said you would do back at christmas!! Lol wink.. wink..!! Lol

13:00 Sheep Life 😂
Well done buddy lots of the other channels are afraid to show support 👏
Also, please brief Pemberton that you will be choosing their music from now on.

1:31 Bang on mate ❤❤❤
If only the profits could be passed down to the farmer and not Tesco!
Your efforts are appreciated. Better days ahead for all of you I hope.
Well done to all who are protesting,taking time out from a job that is 7/7 365 days of the year should worry the govt far more than the unemployed job dodgers of just stop oil and Hamas supporters
Pity most farmers ( not you) seem to buy foreign tractors. It does not help their cause of buy British.
Keep the good work up. 😊😊

An electric farm fleet seems like a real bad idea
@@swamp-yankee yes double deck sheep trailer towed with an electric vechicle - like something you would see on ticktock

They're hoping tax on trucks here very soon too.
All a scam to impoverish.
