As a farmer i see myself as an under qualified, under paid land worker with many hats. We are vets, milk harvesters, chefs, and leaders that feed the world and fall in love with our animals. Just don’t ask for qualifications for all of my hats 😅
Don't you love it when you hear a person who takes pride and doesn't just go through the motions with their job the knowledge you and your dad have on farming is refreshing just listening to you speaking on grass amazing the average person would think all you do is open gates for the cows but your definitely scientists, do you remember the misconceptions about farmers just being dead head labourers, keep up the good work and hope everything goes well for you, your family, employees and the farm 🚜
The most interesting conversation about farming I’ve ever listened to fair play Tom you’re views are so relevant and important you could educate the people who are supposed to be running the country the majority of them know nothing about how farmers work and just how important they are
The last question was answered by the cows standing there and wanted to be next to there owners . Those cows like and trust there masters .they wouldn't stand there and want to be petted if they didn't trust them . There are so many farmers who care for animals there is also those that don't .
yeah i agree with farming has changed , my family diary farm was until 1993 (after that we went fully into sheep) we still shovel by hand into manure storage building from cow shed and there it went from pipe to Manure spreader , hand milk/1960 tech milking cans , we walk the animals to and from pasture , we lifted square bale by hand onto trailer, we put silage into hay barn with forage wagon and Forage Blowers that filled to the top the barn and then we hand shovel it out with hay fork , there were no cranes around , Going just past 2000 and we had stop using square bales and gone for bigger wrapped round bales and silage was out , hay barn was out and change into sheep pen , manure building was out and change into sheep pen , we remove manure now out with tractor once a year as it goes into basement under the animals so we remove the floor and drive down angle and remove it all with tractor , you look at dairy farm today then its more technical and more easy to be a farmer but its still hard being a farmer but you have tools to help you , you do lot more office work as you have to calculate everything and fill more paper work then people think , your farm might have gone up in worth and you would be rich if you sell until you pay income tax but everything else has also increase so you will be lucky to get to retire and sell and live a little but most farmers just die of boredom as for someone going 365 days for up to 20 hours for years into doing nothing is the problem. I grew up as a kid wanting to be a farmer... teenage years i saw it as my personal prison as i like to travel and be closer to cities and have free time and days off so i went into truck driving , farming is calling me more and more as i get older as it has change a lot but i am too poor to buy my own farm to start and who knows when my father dies if i will not just make deal to buy siblings out or co own with them and become a farmer but i have been thinking about going to farmer school as you need to do that to be a farmer today. still having been a farm hand in past has help me doing many jobs as i am hard worker , i can deal with death of infants and elderly as i held once a job transport dead people into morgue as i was a child helping animals being slaughter at home , i have assist pregnate women and that i had exp from calves and lambs being born, i see no problems just solutions that might not be right but it will work , if you can stand against a charging bull as child and not run away then you can handle most people wanting to fight you and you already know how to flip large animal onto the ground in short time , i say i can drive anything with or without a wheels as i start driving 6-7 years old , there are so many things you already know that might work for other type of jobs. for newcomers then i say go to farm shows as you will get to know the equitment and be able to learn basic things as both sale persons and farmers like to chat about new stuff or tell stories.. i saw a change in covid times as you werent able to visit farms to give farmers gossips about what was happening around or who was starting to harvest as if you were bringing something to farmers then you just dropped it off and left as nobody came to chat or invite you in for good old milk and/or pastries and you had mail box to put papers in.
in regards to tom's comment about how farming is easy. no i don't think that's one i'd pick. i think the biggest misconception is how detail farmers are in regards to the environment they use. in a way farmers are the biggest environmentalist because they have to be in order to use the land.
Farming is old fashioned!? People better get some clear reality . Farming is life .without farming we don't have life . Computers are not life , even cars .people better wake up . And money is not life either , it's a tool . I hope young people wake up and started getting reality .Life I have found out late is true building and real work .
Farmers have this high idea of themselves that the world would stop turning and we would all starve without them... farmers are a small part of a supply chain . How much food would a farmer produce without oil refineries or iron ore mines... short answer is barely enough to feed themselves let alone the rest of the world .
@@AbcdEfgh-zp1sn You’ve answered your own argument there… a chain isn’t a chain if you take away one of the links. It is just a useless pile of metal. Clearly farmers need the resources you mention to function, but the people digging the iron out of the ground or running the oil rigs need the food that farmers produce in order to so their job. That’s the whole point, they all rely on each other.
Brilliant!

Go Tom 👨🦰& Father🧓!! I love this interview ❤️

Not from a farming background but I love farming UA-cam content especially Tom Pemberton and this was a great interview asking great questions.
What an advert for a young farmer!!!. Good on you Tom, keep it up
Thank you this was a great video.
Cheers to Tom and his family! He reminds me of Popeye the sailorman. Strong, charismatic man full of integrity and purpose 🙏🏼 👏
My grandad was 45 when he bought a cattle yard in the east Midlands and he's now 63 and has 34 cows and 3 bulls over 32 acres
This was a very nice Walk and Talk. Well done.
Very good thanks for that !!😁
Tom and the Ginger honest as normal two great people
Smashed it
Tom...is that Tilly #292? Great video!!! 😊
Tilly features at 27.20ish - cow on the left with the broad white strip down her nose

There are so many farmers who care for animals there is also those that don't .
Cpuld you do a video of the whole day of a milk delivery from the start to end of that side of the farm?
Don't forget to shut the gate!!

still having been a farm hand in past has help me doing many jobs as i am hard worker , i can deal with death of infants and elderly as i held once a job transport dead people into morgue as i was a child helping animals being slaughter at home , i have assist pregnate women and that i had exp from calves and lambs being born, i see no problems just solutions that might not be right but it will work , if you can stand against a charging bull as child and not run away then you can handle most people wanting to fight you and you already know how to flip large animal onto the ground in short time , i say i can drive anything with or without a wheels as i start driving 6-7 years old , there are so many things you already know that might work for other type of jobs.
for newcomers then i say go to farm shows as you will get to know the equitment and be able to learn basic things as both sale persons and farmers like to chat about new stuff or tell stories.. i saw a change in covid times as you werent able to visit farms to give farmers gossips about what was happening around or who was starting to harvest as if you were bringing something to farmers then you just dropped it off and left as nobody came to chat or invite you in for good old milk and/or pastries and you had mail box to put papers in.
I would be worth giving Farmer P Ian Pullin a interview
Tom have you ever thought of getting the Ginger some Galloways?

Run Boris run Boris 😅
In the states to put the words rich and farmer in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

@@SanAndreas0611 I agree but farmers over state the importance in the chain. They are a very small link in the chain
