I just love your videos Andrew, chomp at the bit every week to see your masterpieces. Your passion and amazing explanations in your vids mate are a perfect recipe which as an ex dairy farmer is so exciting. Congrats on the sweep win and have a well deserved wonderful holiday.
Pasture looks good Andrew. I have a bit of low ground down the far end of the place that tends to waterlog in the winter and set like concrete in the summer. One of my sisters grew arrowleaf clover last year and was raving about it so I threw some in back in May. I'm six feet tall and the best of it is literally up to the bottom of my ribs! Flowers the size of eggs, massive amount of feed and it doesn't bloat cattle. Not much cutworm here at the moment- but they are talking locust plague later in the summer :) Enjoy your break Andrew.
Surely you backed the cup winner, co trained by a Kiwi. Our Dundeel gelding Swatow runs Saturday at Geelong R3. Cows are looking good. Cheers Phillip Island
There's always bloody something. I once had a fields of spring barley that looked fantastic from the gate but when i went to to the first herbicide spray there was a portion of the field that couldn't be seen from the gate that was absolutely decimated by bloody leather jackets. I wouldn't want to have it happen again as the leather jacked spray (Dursban) has now been banned in Northern Ireland.
I wonder if the pellets you spread out when you planted also killed off the natural predator for cut worm? Seeing how your neighbouring farms have not had the problem. I have it happen in my banana farm at times
A bit of a bugger about the maize, next thing the ants will be carrying the plants away! In all seriousness though would you consider moving away from growing maize and grow forage crops?
Why don't you stop growing and feeding corn? We did a few years a go and we are very excited about it, because of the increased health of the cows. Corn has a lot of mycotoxines, gives to much digestion on the intestines and has too much omega 6.

Terrific udders on your cows ,thanks for sharing your videos!
Thanks, I think they need alot of work so have a new somthing planned for next year
Andrew, I stopped growing crops years ago, wasn’t worth it, I just concentrate on growing grass and doing more grass silage.
Sweet as Andrew. Enjoy your holiday 👌
I always enjoy your videos. Have a great holiday. 😀👍🏻

Growing corn is always frustrating here too, the bears took at least 10 percent of our corn this fall
👀🙄🐾👍Great video Andy
Have a great week off
If your staying at the mount, you should pop over to Waihi for a visit
What’s your email? I’ll flick ya one, might come during the week if that works?

God job on you bet 🎉🎉

hallo from austria, we do grow maize too and sometimes late frost kill´s it then we replant the hole field maybe you should do this!
Why wouldn't you consider replanting the maize after being sprayed with cut worm control?
So sorry about your maize. Always something.
Nice
You've got a labrador retriever and a shotgun; the pheasant problem is solvable. Within appropriate laws and regulations, of course.
The pheasants are possibly after the insects too
One thing he doesn’t have is time..
I have scared 18 off so far 👍
Do you do a post sowing pre emergent Andrew? Pretty common practice here to do a weed spray and insecticide to help
Hi i like your video
I bet on that zardozi looked great till right at the end, I think it went too soon
So is the cut worm dormant in the soil through the winter? Can they not treat the seed with insecticide before planting or won’t that help?
Where is your farm located
Will there ever be a year where you do have a drama with your maize😵😂🤞
why did you not spray for these pest prior to planting??
If you say milk solids, is it only fat and prot or do you include lactose as well?
yep just fat and protein, for me its roughly 10 litres to a milk solid
Good one Harry and Spraylink- top company right there.
Why don't you have kiwi cross cows ?

Why do you kill your bulls

Farms have taken a beaten for year it needs to go up 30 percent and stay there
A couple of good years would certainly get the country moving again 👍
From what I remember those little bulls are mean little bastards grandpa always said stay away from the jersey bulls
