- Old ICI film of Archer Neave and Morwell Barton originally thought to have been made in the early 1960's. However, following a comment from one of the original cast (thanks, CMN!) we can now date the film to 1954/55.
I love these old farming videos. Was privileged to spend some time on a farm 2016-18 in Yorkshire and it was one of the best times of my life. Hard work but wonderful being outside among animals.
What a brilliant video, I was born in 1955, that man was years ahead of his time. I really enjoyed it. It brings back memories to me of alot of the things I did to build up a 400 cow herd for my son to take over.
No Beer bellies on them workers must be all that gym work they do after work!!!😅
When men were men and women were women and cows were cows and tractors were tractors and milk was milk and work was work and life was life!
Hi

When men were men ! fantastic thank you for sharing. All the best from Henry Central UK
Great footage from a simpler and better time. Super looking stock.
Better time?. you must be on something, it was hard work, a lot harder work.
@@vespasian266And where does milk come from now??
Alle Generationen denken, die Generationen zuvor waren eine bessere Zeit. Q
Brilliant film, the man was ahead of the times with his thinking
I wonder what is this farm like today in 2023
If you search for "Moorwell Barton Tavistock"you should find some info about the property.
Brilliant...however...the film is from 1954/55..I know as I was in it LOL 😇
That farm must have been well ahead in its day. Forking that silage about would be seriously hard work. Must have been unpleasant working with the lime.
@@JohntyNich l just seen them lime spreading as well, what a bloody job, wouldn’t surprise me if that bloke smoked as well!
Thanks for that - details have been updated accordingly.
Fantastic to see how it was back then, where did it all go wrong for british farming.

It's now late December 2023. Just searched Morwell Barton, it was up for sale in 2022. The Grade 1 Manor House and 243 acres were up for £4.5 million. How times have changed !
That was fantastic
omg all that fertiliser. Would break the bank today. Totally different climate and soil here, nothing grows from October to April, 200 acres would never feed a herd that size.
Them cows r in great order
unfortunately not all dairy farmers really know how to look after cows. there is a good example of this on yt.
Fat score 3 a dairy cow should run.
I like the old time how the people working and living.
I like the cows so its a dairy ayershire its only a Norwegian red crossed in then the black n white Friesian just became more popular
Wow.
At 11.55 did I hear the commentator say the the kale seed was treated against flea beetle? Happy days.
Yes, I picked up on that one. Must have been some concoction of chemicals to give that level of protection!
@@44birdie44 I've been working in the agricultural industry since 1978 and I find these films about the times before my career began delightful to watch.
@Castlebravo100 I'm not working in ag. But we have rented out land. It's too far away to farm traditionally. My wife's family are farmers and I'm very interested in all things farming. I agree with you, this is fascinating to see how things were done. I must say this particular farm was very advanced for the time. I see the place was for sale a couple of years ago. Seems to have changed hands several times since this film was recorded. Are you still farming?
@@44birdie44 I worked on farms when I was young then I went to agricultural college and then became an agronomist which I have been for 40 years now. I have one or two years to go before I retire and I have found it a very interesting and satisfying career. I find it fascinating to follow how farming, particularly crop production, has changed over the past 60 plus years, both technically and through Government interventions. I imagine the next 10 years will see many more changes, but I shan't be involved anymore. What type of farming is your wife's family involved with?

Brilliant film the cows and calves look fantastic shame it's not the same today
What a super video, cows look in great nik ,that man was very forward thinking.
Nice cattle and fields! ❤👍 Some of these farmers were doing regenerative farming (with large
hedge rows); long before it became popular (again) in the 21st century. It looks like some of the
cattle might be Heritage breeds; or herds in transition from Heritage breeds to the larger, hybrid,
commercial breeds that became popular after WW2. Thank you for sharing. 😊
The cows are Ayrshire's by the look. I was brought up milking a very similar herd. It was the 70's then in South West Cornwall, but everything was pretty much the same. Much nostalgia.
How would they do it without the bags of fertilizer and gasoline?
Please do another one
Farming of the Century.
Absolutely marvellous to see how dairy farms used the land men and machinery to their best abilities 🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Regenerative farming on
small farms with Heritage
breeds of cattle, sheep
and pigs is now becoming
profitable again with the
Internet. As well as niche
markets.
The Heritage breeds do not
require grain to sustain
themselves and the fields can
be restored to a more natural
state that is beneficial for
the environment and the
animals
Heritage breeds do not offer
the large yields of milk and
meat like the hybrid, breeds.
But they can survive on only
forage and cut hay, with a
mineral block ("salt" +) to
supplement what the grass
lacks.
It is being done in both UK
and USA as well as in
continental Europe.
Loved my memories of Nightingale Farm, nr. Swindon, Wilts.
That was the England we knew and loved, church bells on Sunday mornings,cricket on the village green. A time when everyone got on,a time before Islam came here
@ 24:50 It talks of 1956, so it has to be after that.
Brillant video
Class!👌
Beginning song?
Those farmers worked very hard back in those days,very nice video
They still do!
@@matthewbutterfield7233 most job's are done with machinery nowadays
We still work just as hard, we just get more done 💪
