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).
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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 🤞🏻
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. 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 😵😵
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?
@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer Their is a product called Grazers I haven’t used it for a long time and is supposed to keep of pigeons,dear and rabbits, it would be very expensive on your scale of problem.
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!
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.
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
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?
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.
@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer same thing happened to us a couple years ago when we had a bad storm, gutters couldn't cope, because there was a dead pigeon in the gutter, we often shoot around the yard, to stop the bloody things eating our profits.
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.
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?
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
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.
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

Ur videos are great.V interesting. Sean ere in west off Ireland. Co mayo .
That was a scary moment. Glad you got it under control, or I should say I hope you got it in time.
Take the end off your gutter so it will overflow at the end rather than backing up, works on our sheds for years.

You might of had a blocked down pipe olly
That rain caught you with your pants down pal 🥴

Well the other make is Green, Krone 😆 🤣 😂
Reduce the height of the gutter ends by 50% this will create a overflow weirs for high rain fall.
They are
Cut ends of troughs out so water straight out

I looked yesterday several times and couldn't see.
So manufacturers need to design larger gutters on buildings for these rare rain events.
You were lucky that you had all them brushes.had heavy shower today as well.🚜🇮🇪🌻
Krone hammered down here for 20 minutes this afternoon as the new plough arrived 🌧️😪 80%
Serious rain you were lucky it didn’t mess all your grain up great video Olly 👍
Cup holder would be a deal breaker for me Olly. I have 6 in my car and it’s not enough 😂
Yeah good video and also so about the rain hurt Also the Mini Tracy B was also million low with the blue lights nice Nice
Krone is on the baler, and we had that small flood too today. great blogs and very informative.
Where u at
Kingsley. Was over your way once when took a wrong turn off motorway then saw “The roadworks” and I said to myself I know where I am now lol
Bit of rain here today but only showers, You wouldnt put a Bucket out in the weather you have had.
Could do with the 10mm you had today as only had 2mm. Glad there was only minimal damage to the grain Olly. Quiz answer is krone
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

Very wet must be like us in Poland, 78% today
U had rain then

It was also thundering and lightning here in Huddersfield this afternoon!!
