Very wise words on the position of farming verses government. Farmers know how to farm and produce food crops for the country. Government couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery. People are going to be paying higher prices for imported food with no certification of the standards it was grown to
Great video. Great content. Just want to say, if you keep posting these videos often enough, you’ll do well. The standard of these videos is great and what an Agribusiness you’ve managed to build. I’ve been following your UA-cam channel for a long time and am very glad to see you’ve started posting regularly. I’m sure you heard this before but the guys in charge of this country haven’t got a clue what damage they have done to agriculture in the past and continue to do until today. They’ll never learn, and the sooner agriculture is properly represented in that school playground next to the Thames the better. Only farmers would say no to packing up to quadruple their profits with minimum input. You’re the backbone of society and without you we are all heading for impending doom.
As a retired farmer I look forward to these videos please keep them coming yours and wardys waffle are so good for letting the public know about farming practices
Very well said James. People need to realise we have highly productive land in the UK and also very talented people working that land, be it Arable or Stock Farmers maximising the potential daily and always thinking how to be better, whilst creating environmental benefits also. If the Government/MP’s can’t see that, it clearly demonstrates piss poor performance on their part.
Well put! The Government needs someone like yourself who understands agriculture, not someone guessing the solution be trying to please just one issue, it needs a multi faceted sensible strategy, one which suits individual situations as each situation is individually wrapped.
Exciting looking chanel, I look forward to seeing more. Government ATM doesn't know what day is likely to end this week! I note your comment re: hedgerows, they should be included in any sfi management. If certain parties stopped flailing the life out of them every year and managed them properly, we could reduce any tree planting by 30%... thanks again
Interesting vids, totaly agree with you about sfi, we must be mad to put ourselves through what we do to grow food when we could just take the easy money,
Less food, higher prices.The money put into these schemes would be better subsidising food production which would be better for the economy and help to combat inflation. When the government gets involved with anything they break it then set up a committee to try to work out how to fix it.
Great video James. My farm is less than 10% of the size of yours, but I share the same view. We've been in countryside stewardship for 30yrs, partly because it historically keeps us compliant with things like leraps but also because it pays the rent on the awkward wet bits. I don't see that changing. The rest of the farm needs farming properly to avoid a black grass epidemic and feed the country. Park keeper life would be incredibly dull anyway!
We’ve used the sfi to sort out wet areas and sloping fields but absolutely farmers should produce food and those in charge should come and see the issues they cause on you large scale farm and the likes of my 250ac farm
Well chosen words. Like the Intro the Dept managers. What would you say is the key to recruiting and keeping good staff these days? Man management fascinated me in my youth and fledgling farming career back in the 1980s.
Really for the last 30 year's all the powers that be have always wanted farmers to stop producing food, look at setaside, Oliver Walston said it was a crazy scheme back then. (Against the grain)
The country needs farmers to produce food , looking back to after the war farmers were encouraged to produce more . Now in this present time the population has increased , far more than back in forties and they want to you produce less it just don't add up . If the public don't open there eyes soon, it will be to late to save British farmer and everything will be imported.
I do not have and BPS as it was taken off me, not my fault. It also means I have been unable to claim SFI up until this month when the rules changed so I can look at it, with a Land Agent.
The subsidies should have been phased out shortly after the war and then people would have been paying the right price for food...as it happened there was no votes in higher food prices so the farmers have ended up subsidizing it themselves...no industry can thrive being helped out by Government...just look at New Zealand
Once you get your head around the fact that it’s not ineptitude in government, but that it’s all by design, and the underlying reasons for their policies have nothing to do with the good of the people, or for the benefit of the environment, it all makes sense. Politicians on all sides want money and power. Farmers out…global corporations in. Their policies seemingly make no sense to us…..but it’s exactly how they want it.

Superb message and the country needs to wake up.

Another great vid explaining all the ins and out of farming . U must be so frustrated how all these idiots in parliament keep moving the goal post .
As a retired farmer I look forward to these videos please keep them coming yours and wardys waffle are so good for letting the public know about farming practices
Totally agree with you . Another great insight vid .👍

Absolutely cracking content keep going with these videos !!
Well said James, you and your team are great ambassadors for agriculture, keep it 💯 up!!!👏👍🙂 great video's btw👌
Well put! The Government needs someone like yourself who understands agriculture, not someone guessing the solution be trying to please just one issue, it needs a multi faceted sensible strategy, one which suits individual situations as each situation is individually wrapped.
Thank you, We need agriculture to flourish regardless who is in government with common sense at the forefront.
@@PX_Farms sorry but you are being very optimistic to expect any" common sense" from any political party
@@merv690common sense has to be put in a box on the entrance to the houses of common. You can pick it up on your way out 🤣
I'm new to your channel and your videos are a very interesting look at a large modern agricultural business.
Please keep them coming👍🌾
Great vid I couldn’t agree more with what you are saying.
Another good video with a very important message. Many thanks
Well said, great informative video again
Excellent video Pecky. 👌
Excellent video thanks
Great video very interesting 😃😃

Well said that man.
They want the land. Noticed alot of farms now growing housing estates.

Fantastic video as always please you are doing UA-cam videos

If you look close enough you will see that farmers both good and bad do more for the environment than anyone else
Here here. It’s madness to expect SFI to keep farming income where it was with BPS. It will no doubt all change in two months time
Great update you have just said What every other far.mer is thinking
i would not hold you breathe with the nfu
Well chosen words. Like the Intro the Dept managers. What would you say is the key to recruiting and keeping good staff these days? Man management fascinated me in my youth and fledgling farming career back in the 1980s.
A challenge in every expanding business, I’m still learning.
So what will happen after July 4th? SFI may get scraped who knows
I guess known seasonal weather patterns are in the process of changing to whatever & lots of farming decisions will be made on the fly.

A healthy realationship,but it’s no possible.
If there is going to be another large war in Europe then I would have thought self sufficiently and food production was of up most importance.
The subsidies should have been phased out shortly after the war and then people would have been paying the right price for food...as it happened there was no votes in higher food prices so the farmers have ended up subsidizing it themselves...no industry can thrive being helped out by Government...just look at New Zealand
Dont worry, Labour will sort it NOT.
ye lucky ye dont have greens in power over therefore in Ireland they want to resold nearly all the countryside plus bring back wildwolves

Riiiiight.🤡🤡
but why on earth do the goverment not want farmers to produce food
Over production
Control! The world is run by psychopaths
Hungry people are compliant people.
Farming is a political football.
That's the beginning and end of it.
This crap talks a lot of sense!
