Probably one of the best videos you've done bloody brilliant . Well done for having the balls . Dad used to say banks will give you an umbrella when it's sunny but when it rains they want it back 😂 Tell father Phill that one
I'm an old woman Phil and I've never seen such a fine young man as you are with such a fantastic head on ur young shoulders... you have ur plan worked out to a tee... congratulations 👏 a real educational video no doubt. .God Bless. 💚☘
1 of the best videos phil.,very honest and very informative. The fact uncle Ian done that for u is a measure of the man he was and faith he had in you been a good farmer. True gentleman god rest him.
Depending on the width of the river check out if you could source any old wind turbine blades as they are a waste product from wind farms just another mad thought going through my head
Phil I've been watching your videos for a couple years now and this is the best one great to see progress I was reared on a small farm we used to walk to school through the fields in summer winter the fields would be flooded until our neabour drained two fields it was like a inland sea in winter when you're doing drainage make sure the main drains are done first.(opws job) then the fields are easly drained
Every farmer knows the name of every bit of ground they have. But the names are always a bloody good laugh 😅. I'd tell you some of mine but I'd probably be carted away in a straight jacket because they sound totally nuts 😂. Good luck to yourself and your family. It's great to see a young family getting into farming in what is a very difficult time in farming.
Brilliant, whoever said farming was easy, didn't know farming. But, Phil, makes it sound easy. I was in the Merchant Navy and knows nothing about farming, Phil makes it very interesting.
Land is a better investment than a tractor, local guy started contacting sold all the land to buy vehicles and went bust because farmers weren't paying in time
Well done, the remote land the GAA buy is usually for grass sod harvesting. The river water will come back up the drains and could flood a bigger area than the rainfall would.
A very interesting and informative video, very enjoyable. Brilliant job. All the hard work you do will make your investment fantastic in the future. Well done Phil.
So so very interesting and love these talks and news of your farms.Good luck to Farmer Phil and liv and Father Phil and family.Thank you for sharing.🍀🍀☘️☘️☘️🍀🍀🪴🪴🌿🌿🌿🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖
Phil,Great video crawl before you walk. you can achieve what you wish if you plan and put in the hard work. You had the confidence of Uncle to back you, at the end of the day it came back to you. WELL DONE>
Greetings from the Bronx, Phil. I spent most of my childhood summers on my uncles small dairy farm in Cavan. A while back I saw an article about Adrian and I Farm we Farm and decided to check it out. Since then I’ve been sucked into the Irish farmer UA-cam rabbit hole. Enjoy all your videos and look forward to them. Great video 2day, but was thinking this would have been an excellent video to insert the Google satellite images…would have been easier to follow.
There is hot weather on the way Phil in 2 weeks.up to 28 degrees but will have to see it first.still plenty time to make hay.good man u took on alot at a young age.hats off to u.
Wait I'm a bit confused, where I come from, agriculture includes livestock. I guess your country doesn't see it that way, what a shame. Congrats on your land purchase. I hope it all works out well for ya. If I may offer a suggestion, every so often on your payments, see about refinancing, this can cut down on your payments and lower them as well, and sometimes, can get it refinanced at a much lower rate as well. Always something to think about. Great video, cheers :)
Well done, Phil, you've done a brilliant job. It's really interesting to hear you talk about the farm. One question: Are you planning to buy any more land. Brilliant video well done 👍
Excellent honst video, can't beat a bit of experience, we all started and read the books and it didn't take long to realise that the books are rarely right, every farm is different. Fair play
it's really funny how different Banks/lenders have different views on lending money....... back in 1970 my parents were only farming 86 acres but they owned it then a neighbouring farm came up for sale and my parents wanted to buy the 72 acres that joined what they already owned....... they Banked with Lloyds Bank at that time but Lloyds wouldn't lend my parents the £7,200 they needed to buy the land (yes land was £100 per acre back then ) so anyway my gran had a bit of spare money so she lent my parents halve the money (£3,750) and my parents changed banks and changed to Natwest and they were happy to lend my parents the rest of the money they needed to buy it (£3,750) when you look at how much land is worth now Lloyds were being very short sighted
Well done you and Liv !!!! Put your 5 year or 10 year plan together Then just push to get it completed. There is certainly no shortage of effort from the two of you. But remember, you have to get and have some down time. I have been working all my life and now because I didn’t stop to think and look around me I am on a wheel that it’s difficult to get off !!! But I am sure you two will work it out
Causeway maybe? I've got a historical word in my head someway. All the wet land our pan-Celtic forefathers had to cope with there is a better word for the dryer road you need.
Greetings, dear farmers. I see from the comments that you have very big difficulties with the land. I am from Siberia and I have a hobby of breeding horses. I have a lot of land for grazing and making hay. There are tractors and everything necessary for making hay. If any of you really want to start breeding beef cattle, then I can offer you this breeding here in Siberia on partnership terms. Our meat market is experiencing an acute shortage of meat, so this niche can be said to be empty and without competition. On my land areas You can increase the number of broodstock to 3000. Breeds such as Hereford, Galloway, and Angus are suitable for our climate. If you're interested, I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Write to me in the comments
Uncle Ian always loved and believed in you. You make him proud every day. We miss him🙄😍👍

1 of the best videos phil.,very honest and very informative. The fact uncle Ian done that for u is a measure of the man he was and faith he had in you been a good farmer. True gentleman god rest him.
It's good your uncle was willing to help you get your land Phil he must have known you were going to be a decent farmer
Great to hear how you managed to buy land.
Good luck to you all.😊❤

Chance of getting hay Monday to Thursday next week I reakon if the crop wasn't over heavy and dry under foot
A great achievement to buy a bit of land well done to the Stuart family .

Well done, the remote land the GAA buy is usually for grass sod harvesting. The river water will come back up the drains and could flood a bigger area than the rainfall would.
Looks like you got a good plan going there Phil, it's nice to have your own land to do what you want with it.
A very interesting and informative video, very enjoyable. Brilliant job. All the hard work you do will make your investment fantastic in the future. Well done Phil.
Excellent video
And a very wise investment

Brilliant video Phil well done with your purchase of land and good luck with improving it
Well done Phil love your video s have been watching them for years did I hear you mentioned a shepards hut I have one that I built from scratch
Brilliant video Phil. Well done on all your work.👍

Great video, well explained, 2 days of hay weather forecast for early next week… chance it. Keep up the good work.
Well done phill ..give me a shout if your ever want to find the drains location...I can find them with two copper wires
Best thing about farming is paying no inheritance tax . Makes its so easy to keep land and assets in a family .
Only if done properly, otherwise they’ll crucify you.
Keep up the good work Philip!!!
Well done. Fair play to you.
That was a great move by you at a very young age for a farmer. Amazing video and good history of how you made your stamp on the farm
Your a good one. The best of luck with it

A brave move for a 20yr old . Farther Phil would of been proud of you growing the family farm
Well done, Phil, you've done a brilliant job. It's really interesting to hear you talk about the farm. One question: Are you planning to buy any more land. Brilliant video well done 👍
That was a great video farmer Phil 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fair play Phil reclaiming back family history ground back in your names, and turning it back from neglected land to productive ground.
Longford could do with a bit of GAA excellence wherever located!
Excellent honst video, can't beat a bit of experience, we all started and read the books and it didn't take long to realise that the books are rarely right, every farm is different. Fair play
Great video Phil. 👏
Very interesting, good Job Phil and family
Thnk you shown us your planning
Hon Phil boy . Fair dues 👍🏻

👏👏 good work mate! Nothing like owning your own dirt. What has land prices done since you bought it? Good equity growth?
Is it worth going to the bank to see would they reduce interest rate. Bought land 4 years ago.
Causeway maybe? I've got a historical word in my head someway. All the wet land our pan-Celtic forefathers had to cope with there is a better word for the dryer road you need.
Interesting video Phil. Would you consider buying more land again in the future once you have those fields paid off?
Good Man, Keep the good work up
The price of land is uneconomically viable, never mind interest and tax. I don't get this
Will u be at tullamore show dis year
Did you catch any fish that day? Can't leave us hanging like this!
Excellent video btw.
👍
Glad I asked a few weeks ago how you done it, thanks great video
good man fil, how did u get on with the woodchip with the calves
Do you not have feed troughs for your calves
Repayments on 40 acres at least.5k an acres i cant see how farming woukd oay for.that amount of a loan
That's a good plan.
Hey Phil you forgot to mention how much ya paid for it😉
Good stuff Phil, it will be yours shortly
Good stuff
Goodman
Well done Phil
Great video Phil. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
👏👏👏👌👌👌
Not really you got it through inheritance, farming does not pay
Well done 👏
I would buy as much land close to you as you can.
Get them shores in soon or soon stoped altogether with EEC new law on restrictions Eamon Ryan and his Green Party.
Eamonn can go cleaning the drains now.he out of a job and no harm.the bank might fall in on him .I won't be around to pull him out

Well done phil
Great video Phil. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
