    A lot of guy that have been farming for many years find it hard to change. I love how the Ginge has so much wisdom and experience but he is always open to new ideas and technology that grow the farm and make it better.

    Just incredible. Google Maps can’t even keep up to the farm growth. They have some skilled workers too. The guys backing up the forage wagons. Brilliant. What a facility. No doubt you’re both inspired fro going there. I wasn’t even there, and I’m feeling inspired. Thanks for bringing us along Tom.

    I absolutely loved this video, thanks to you and to Metcalfe and to Steve (what an incredible asset to the operation at Metcalfe).
    The knowledge that Steve had of the operations was astounding, you couldn't have asked for a better representative to take you round. I was in complete awe as to how they utilize the land (3200 acres I thought he said) and how diverse it is as a whole. Wonderful job! he was a complete charmer ❤

    Tom I live 8miles from Metcalfe farms plus Metcalfe’s of Metcalfe farms are distant relations of mine even though they don’t know it.
    All Metcalfe’s/Metcalf’s are all related and all stem from Nappa Hall in Wensleydale we had an ancestor called Captain James Meltcalf who fought against the French at Agincourt in 1425 he took 300 men from Wensleydale to fight a long side Henry 5th,my Gt Gt grand father who I am the spitting image of was called William Metcalf 1815-1897

    @janetmaher1116 Рік тому

    Diversification can be the key to survival and success, but the level demonstrated here, on a literal industrial scale, is mind boggling. Looks like a fantastic operation, the cows are rockstars, and the skill level of the equipment operators…just wow!
    I often lead with a disclaimer that “reverse is not my best gear,” yet Metcalfe have a driver racing around an obstacle course of a field in reverse while chasing the chopper and another one also reversing in to replace them…I stand humbled!! 😂

    That's an immensely huge set up with all those small industries combining into basically one. When I see the heavy lift trucks on the motorway I've always thought oh that was a family farm that's closed down and diversified into a heavy haulage outfit.

    Wow one of your best videos Tom obviously Metcalfs are big in the haulage industry, assume you were referring to their MOD Movement business/ contract as they are the main hauliers for the MOD VEHICLE MOVEMENT. To being able to see or discuss everything Tom.
    I assume they fetch their novapro from YELO enterprise near Stratford upon Avon, we haul loads out of there for k w alternative feeds to our depot to put in mixes for their customers around Staffordshire, Cheshire,Shropshire etc.
    We also produce sodawheat for them.
    Never knew their farm was that big at all. Very interesting and mind blowing all in one. Thanks for the video. Mammoet main UK site is down the road from our depot in hixon on the airfield.

    I Fitted Metcalfes Rope scrapers last year 24 passages worth. Apart from going every hour on the clock. He does no to bad on his ropes. Rope scrapers are simple to maintain and fix. I do remember a comment a while back about a certain cow brush and how it was good because it didnt have electric motors on it. What happened next there was a electric automatic cow brush on farm. 😂 Simple to change minds when its being offered for half price.

To see healthy animals producing a wonderful nutritious product is fantastic. In my view, Metcalf Farms should be applaud for their business practices 👍👏and its something to aspire to be for smaller farms too. 👏 All the best Pemberton Family. 😊
