    I just started a job on a farm about a month ago, zero experience with any of it so I come here when I get home and watch one of your vids each day. I am actually learning things from you so thanks!

    One of my all time favorite video channel's. Admire Tom's respect for his father [Ginger] and God knows the worlds children need exposure to this type of love between a father & a son/daughter which makes the world a better place to live. Tks Tom for all you do to inspire all of the world in farming listening & a much needed documented relationship between a father & son.. **Father Knows Best** like it or not and the world hands over knowledge to the children that respect & learns from their parents/grandparent. This fact has repeated for millions of yrs of recorded human history and YOU Tom continue to send this critical message Loudly & Clearly. Thank You Tom!.

    Your father has a memory we're all wish we could have. 2008 and he remembered it and has always been able to remember dates, weather, drains etc he is a walking book of knowledge. If I only had 1/2 of his ability.

      Too many younger folk have little to no respect for our seniors folks. A tragic scenario for all of mankind. Tom DOES seems to love & respect *Ginger* [his father]. Tom's respect for his FATHER keeps me coming back to view more of Tom Pemberton's family friendly videos.

    It's been a shocking summer and a brutal start to autumn. I really enjoy listening to your father Tom. He is really annoyed about the water situation and I can't blame him. I seen the damage the flooding caused to the land last winter. Unfortunately the same thing happens here in Ireland, land constantly gets developed for housing and no consideration given to where the water goes. 😔

    Same boat in West Wales. 'Boat' is a very apt word. I hope to have about half the third cut off next Sunday but the rest is very like a bottomless bog and will have to wait for a good week to ten days of dry weather. It just doesn't dry much with the shortened Autumn days. It takes time. If I mow on Thursday, it will probably only be marginally fit to chop and ensile on Sunday and there will be some mess on the ground after. I'm certainly not going to make trenches with the tractors and trailers though. Sod that.

  • @georgiaannbicknell6129
    @georgiaannbicknell6129 4 роки тому

    That straw is beautiful. Poaching is a good description of it!! Heat and wet really ruins grass-- cooked! Rotted!!! Weir, a small dam in a river or stream. You had me looking the spelling up. In Florida, we are still looking at hurricane season for 8 weeks--SEP and OCT. The ponds are full. What I am thinking is that there has been development downstream from the farm and fill has been used where formerly there was marshlands. The system for roads and bridges has not kept up with the changes in the topography to adequately provide for drainage to the sea--the drainage basin has silted up, the ditches not cleaned and the pumps are not being run when needed. What form of energy are they using to run the pumps? Is there and alternative form that is cheaper?

    Yep the weather has been a bane all through the year since last October. Down here (Gloucester) after some days of wishing I'd never cut grass on the 31st of August for hay the weather has just come back today nice enough that we'll finally bale some hay. At least we'll have some grazing for hopefully longer than last year to set us up better for next year's antics.

Just a suggestion, you know the land I know.

    Tom, I think you would benefit from doing more to control your grazing. You could grow more grass in your pastures. There is a history of excellent graziers, and pasture based dairy in your country to draw on. Increasing water infiltration rates is a well documented effect of management intensive, holistically planned, or mob grazing systems. Even just a half inch per hour per acre is a huge gain, and many have achieved greater increases. Plus it's fun turning animals onto fresh grass every day. It makes them so darn happy.
