Krone. I’m afraid it’s a fact that seasons are/have changed and we must adapt on a daily basis glad to see your grain storage didn’t suffer with the all that rain but it’s still extra cost to dry or feed the birds. Looking at your seed drill wouldn’t it be perfect if there was a drill,combine,tractor that cherry picked all the good points of all manufacturers and built the ideal machine /tool for the job in hand. Great job ollie keep up the hard work. I need to come up and drive my share of the sprayer 😵😵
hi olly just picking up again on min till and yes totally agree with you on what your farm has to do regarding seed drilling etc but yes with out root and veg cropping that i do its always plough behind the previous crop for the right sol conditions so the tilth is as near perfect for the next crop cheers
Brilliant explanation Olly of the spraying process. This so much better than filming but with music overlayed (annoying usually) and telling us nothing, even those of us that do know something about what's in front of us. My great pal has pretty much the same kit as yourself and explains to me one to one (privileged or what?) the processes, but having you do this to such a wide audience is phenomenal. I'm in Somerset/Wiltshire agri wise. My pal contract farms around 1500 hectares arable, responsible in all for some 120 fields all year round. Thanks again Olly. Oh, and he has someone who turns up to shoot pidgeons.
You have my empathy. Month ago pre harvest 120 mm in 4 hours, knackered workshop,roads and field walls. Got the roads up first thanks to a great team effort, cleared workshop of 40-50 tons of silt and debris, walls still to sort but making a start. Build back better and stronger hopefully.
Hi Olly.Just watched your latest video and couldnt help noticing the amount of pigeons you had on your land and the i hate pigeons comment.i will gladly come and meet with you to sort out yr pigeon problem, I am fully insured and local to you, cheers vance
Just started watching about a month ago and started from the start and really enjoying the channel it could have been a lot worse with the floods in the sheds but hey on the plus side at least Christine's extra brushes came in handy
Oh no...no cup holder in the Bateman...maybe that's why 'lovely' is written the way it is. When the remnants of Hurricane Ida rolled thru recently, we got about an inch of rain an hour for five hours. We were lucky because some areas got three inches an hour in the same time span - massive flooding in those areas. Climate change can be a 'literal' pisser! Here's to the Bateman. Cheers...
Nice seeing the Bateman in action brilliant. Sorry to see the water come inside you sheds. That's the problem on duty farm. It goes everywhere like the guttering heavy downpour you had today soon block's them up.
Just going thru and watching some of your older videos. We had a massive hailstorm pass over us about week before harvest. Decimated neighbours OSR crops and cost us at least a T/acre in wheat and spring barley knocked onto the floor and it only took about around 10 minutes. At current prices its cost us around £9/10,000 I reckon (we are only a small farm).
We had the same thing happen today on our way back to cleethorpes from Bridlington. We were about 8 miles from Grimsby when the rain came down so hard that I had to slow down from 70 to 40 because I couldn't see out of my window. Even at 40 it was still difficult but within 10 minutes it had cleared and the sun was shining again.
Krone on the baler gosh some rain there today I’ve been lucky on the Wirral on grass and hedges, Formal complaint needed to Bateman needs to sort cup holder Hopefully not to much rain love to see drill in full action 👍👍👍
Is there any space for a cup holder in that 'cockpit' ? You need to ask Bateman's designers to come up with a retrofit installation pack for that, 'Olly blog' branded?
You were very lucky. We had a flood come through our store in 2019 but luckily it flowed through and it wasn’t dried yet. We’d had 90mm of rain in 2 days 😢 hopefully your seed will dry out 🤞🏻
Krone on the baler, fair do's you were lucky with the grain! Nice to see everyone getting stuck in working together to save the farms profits for the year! Another great vid mate 👍
Lucky escape there fella, pleased for you. I wonder if there’s been a huge rush from people around the country with grain stores getting up and checking their gutters and panels for water tightness?
Krone in the dust on the baler!!! Ask Batemans to send you up a can holder? Gordon Bennett that was some rain, good team work to minimalise the damage. Heavy rain here in Devon too, did some good says son and hubby. Thank Olly and take care.
Its not been a bad day, here in Cornwall, in fact it's been nice and warm. I have been painting, new sheeting on the barn gates. Nice and ready for tomorrow government vet visit.
Good video again Olly. I was in the heavy rain storm going over the new Runcorn bridge. I couldn't believe when the traffic slowed right down due to a large section being flooded. Bad design on the drains if that happens on a new bridge.
O what a wet day for all, was up a tree when we had 1 of these mega down pours today, got absolutely soaked, but that seems a small thing in comparison to what you were dealing with! Glad you spotted it in time! Krone on baler 🏴
@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer Any idea /personal perspective why most UK farmers use sheds vs bin/silos for grain storage? Assume it's a cost point being able to use the shed as... As shed when the grains emptied?
Krone on the baler Olly. And liking the whiteboard cleaner on the side there haha. From Graham in Huntly Aberdeenshire. Keep up the good work. Loving the vids
We had the same problem a few years ago so we cut two slots about six inches apart half way down the end of the valley and folded it outwards so the water can get out the end if the drain can't cope and doesn't overflow into the shed
Just seen the videos from Birkenhead with rivers flowing down the streets here in Ellesmere port it was just a light shower that quickly passed over, looks like it stalled over the wirral and liverpool.
Thanks for putting me out of my misery with “Fendt” on front of the Fastrac, and yes I have sussed out today’s quiz question!! (Another manufacturer😉) You were extremely lucky with that rain / gutter!! 😯 Wow! Great Blog Olly.
Might be worth reducing the height of the gutter on the outlet end, that way if it happens again the water can cascade over it before it reacher the top of the gutter
It’s not always what you think. Took the end stops out of some of mine thinking it was the down pipe holding things up, but didn’t make any difference. Only way is more fall to speed up the flow of water but that’s usually a big job. Makes you wonder if building manufacturers will update gutter design as these events are getting more frequent.
Wow that was a lucky escape but going to be a big worry going forward. Imagine when all that sugar beet pulp was in there ( we all know what that does when it gets wet) hope you can find an easy solution. Maybe some internal pipe from that bay going out the end. You could get the wearing’s man out ( can’t remember his name but a knowledgable man) you will have seen him to TP’s farm
Today I finally finished watching all the Vids on UA-cam. Glad the rain didn’t do much damage. Bone dry here in Norwich. I spotted the Krone on the Claas 👍🏼🚜
Someone needs to get up onto your roofs and clean out those box gutters - even with that amount of rain, I suspect they would cope if they were empty of debris - but you may have leaves, moss and feathers binding together, blocking downpipes and causing the overflows. Hope your seed doesn't start germinating in the bags !
thats crap the weather is so unprecticable well doen on the team helping anf jumping in the save the wheat,OSR etc keep up th egood work be safe from essex
I wondered what action the airport take to prevent any Pigeons landing near them which is dangerous for aircraft landing or taking off. The airfield is very close to you and whatever they do may impact on the bird population on your land? I’m not sure it maybe worth having a chat with them to see if there’s anything which can be done. As people have said the population on your land seems to be exceptionally high so maybe suggest to the airport that some form of a joint approach may be worthwhile to you both?
Had a flood in work shop a few years ago .thunder storm box gutters closed end with down pipe .hole for down pipe could not take volume of water .we opened end and changed to a down pipe hopper water drops down into hopper if overflow s just overspills out side
Lovly Day for Spraying. Is their anyway of fixing Your Dran System for Your Million Dollar Business. Otherwise You Could Loose All Yours and others who put theirs in your Shed.
Hi Olly - do you think no till would work eventually in heavy clay? Once saw a heavy clay field fail badly, drilled by a Sumo dts. Would you have to write off the first 2 or 3 years?
Special thanks to Sam, Frank, Andrew, Olly, Richard and eventually James who came to help! It was a nightmare but fast action saved the crop! Well done guys!
Crumbs that's some rain. Looking at Netweather for tomorrow we are due 24mm at 10am and 30mm at 1pm 😬 Hope it's wrong. One of my customers had a 280x80ft building put up with one 4" downpipe on the centre gutter. Then they wondered why it overflowed every time. 🤣
Get them gutters cleaned out!!!! That's washed the floor, krone on the baler, that a make the sunflowers grow a nice 10mm of rain. Just watched back and we only see 2 seconds of front of jcb, 95%.
we had that with valley gutters we cut the ends of the gutters down so it could over flow over the ends it didn't cure it completely but it did make it a lot better
At the moment I am finding another 2 legged creature more frustrating so far in the last 12 months we have lost 2 sheep to Gid, 1 to drowning after being chased into a deep spot of a stream, 1 hung after being chased up and over the hurdles of our mobile race, 2 fences flattened, gates left open even where there are no footpaths (we only have 6 fields out of the whole farm without any) after which we just put an old bike lock rope around the most common left one which someone decided to smash today so ended up having to sort them out and then just ordered a £100 worth of signs and brought £150 worth of chains and padlocks none of which should be necessary

Take the end off your gutter so it will overflow at the end rather than backing up, works on our sheds for years.
We had the same problem a few years ago so we cut two slots about six inches apart half way down the end of the valley and folded it outwards so the water can get out the end if the drain can't cope and doesn't overflow into the shed
Ours is chopped nearly all the way out
It's a good job you bought all those brushes the other day !😂
Serious rain you were lucky it didn’t mess all your grain up great video Olly 👍
Reduce the height of the gutter ends by 50% this will create a overflow weirs for high rain fall.
They are

Might be worth reducing the height of the gutter on the outlet end, that way if it happens again the water can cascade over it before it reacher the top of the gutter
Good bit of advice, never thought of that; a safety level to eliminate overflows inside.
There already cut down
