The shots of the 4 combines and chaser bins were exceptional! Cannot wait for more content throughout the winter. Well done on completing harvest 24. your team, do you proud.
1975 and 1976 all but bankrupted me , I grew less than a tonne of wheat and had no grass for the cattle or to make hay . It was a nightmare , I had to sell all the cattle . The only good thing was , I had a wonderful bank manager , and machinery dealer , and they kept me going until 1977 which was a great year . I was also getting married and rebuilding the farmhouse . Ah , happy days .🤔🤔😊😊😊😊
In 1976 we got 8 ton from a 45 acre field of spring barley. We tied baler twine to the reel tines to try get the ears close to the ground. A lot of farmers stopped growing spring crops after 76. Age 11 then.
Started my first harvest in in 1958 at the age of 10 driving a international b450 on a bale trailer, finished harvests on a NH 8080 in 2003 due to chronic heart failure miss farming and enjoy your video's thanks.
Well done to Graham for cutting 50 harvests, (incidentally my father is now on 65!) On the subject of oil seed rape, black grass only became a problem when the crops became thin due to flea beetle pressure. When we had neonics the crop was thick enough to suppress the black grass.
Fantastic videos James, well done to all at PX Farms. I can remember it was great driving a N.H. Clayson 8070 for two months a year. The autumn cultivations were good fun as well. Looking forward to more great content. Thankyou.
Good to see the end of your harvest. We will hopefully get a START 😂this week currently raining here in NE scotland. Wishing for a good spell of weather to all farmers
Good to see you've cracked the harvest. Also nice to show appreciation to the troops who have done the hours to make that possible. We had a really good end to a season one year -( thanks Hughie). Lots of cultivation videos to come now then...
Enjoy your video’s and your interaction with your staff is brilliant Keep up the good work and showing British Farmers need ambassadors like you in their corner Keep healthy 👍
Well done James to all of the team at PX farms who have all done a fantastic job, as I type this (Sunday evening 25th August) we have heavy rain in North Lincolnshire so perfect timing getting harvest 2024 finished. Great to hear your little daughter in the background of your video, you are a true hard working farming family for sure taking lots of caculated riss with huge numbers against the elements.
Not such a bad harvest, James, time wise, will be interesting to see yields! Great to see the beans being combined in August the last time we grew beans, we tried to combine on the 5th November, got about half the crop, disced the rest in!... how varieties have improved, hope you have a successful drilling time..
Thank you James and team for sharing your excellent informative video s of Harvest 24. I hope there is a scientific study on the effects of the lack of nectar from the reduced oil seed rape production on the bee population.
Well done James and all at PX Farms for getting the harvest done , like you said a lot of people think when harvest is done its the end. The truth is it's just the start of another complete cycle in the farming year , hope you all have a nice Bank Holiday weekend well deserved after the long hours doing harvest .
James, I think it was during the Labour government of Harold Wilson (1964 - 1970) the Conservative party had a bumper sticker which ran: "CRIME DOESN'T PAY - Nor does Farming". Hope it doesn't come to that this time around!!
Congratulations on completing harvest 2024, well done to you and your team, hope the weather holds and you get good conditions for cultivation and planting next years harvest 👍
Great video and fantastic that it's Harvest Home, tremendous drone shots from the final field of Beans. Have really enjoyed the story of Harvest 2024 and NOW SUBSCRIBED to the channel. 👍
Thanks James for the harvest video updates, well done to all your staff at px farms, hope we see the next stage cultivations, drilling and more. Some very nice drone footage
James, do you do public speaking events? Think a lots of organisations could benefit from hearing how you run your business and especially how well you treat your staff.
We drilled our osr on the 10th September and it average 4 ton /ha, I know we are not on the scale you are (1400 acres) but winter barley only did 8 ton/ha, winter wheat around the 10 ton/ha and spring barley 9 ton, so overall not to bad, all the milling wheat made made the spec, high hagberg and protein of 14 +, I have just caught up on your videos and find them very interesting, so look forward to the cultivation and drilling ones, regards Simon
James thank you and your work force for a wonderful harvest and great uploads. I have enjoyed every one of them😊I wish you all the best . You look after your crew and they appreciate it from what I’ve seen😊. And I’m sure that there are more staff behind the Sean’s that have work just as hard so thanks to the😊😊All the best and look forward to more uploads😊Regards😊😊👍👍👍
Great job on finishing harvest in good time. Been fascinating keeping up with the progress through the summer, I’m very interested in seeing the updates through the drilling season and maybe we could have a video on crop walking with cousin Michael and talk about the spray programme you choose to do? You’ve brought back my passion for farming and makes me want to jump ship back into the industry. Keep up the good work James and look forward to the next update 👍
congratulations on finishing harvest, and the weather playing its part with some well needed rain right on Q also well done for the aerial videoing and the chorography looked absolutely amazing
Hi James another great video well done for the big harvest finish looking forward to seeing the new machinery shed with all the equipment in kind regards John
Great video James, what a fantastic sight to see the 4 combines and chaser bins in the same field. Well done to Graham for 50 years of harvesting. It would be great to see you, Andrew Ward and cousin Michael in a video. Have you tried Pepsi MAX?
Outstanding video AND massive congratulations to everybody involved 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 it been a GREAT journey following ye along 👍🏻 the photos of finishing up on insta were amazing too 😍 ALSO the end there of your little one were real cute AND just normal family life for most of us following yiu 😊
So good to have joined you this year,as ive mentioned before,im in Western Australia and this year looks to be an above average year for most grain growers this season.
Congratulations on safely completing the harvest. I thoroughly enjoy each and every video and look forward to each new release. Thank you for making the effort.
OSR wise we are late August Direct Drill with N down the spout and biosolids before as well, we find that this method allows the plant to accelerate away from flee Beatle
Another fantastic video James and well done on completion of harvest it’s been tough time for all farmers this season the guys have worked hard and also been looked after very well another 9 days and we should be finished cutting in Yorkshire well done to graham 50 years of harvests that is a huge Mile stone well done ❤
Well done James to you and the PX platoon. What a feat to achieve the goal set out under conditions that are so determined by a plethora of KPI’s; topped by the weather. What a milestone for Graham too; wow 50 harvests! Gerald is possibly not the GOAT 😉 The beginning of the next season is yet another challenging journey to endure; looking forward to watching it all over again. It appears that Cousin Michael has got you thinking about the upcoming wheat crop given the demise of oilseedrape .The locality of the milling and the feed groups sound like a given but the variety is going be interesting, given that Michael hinted of new ones at the threshold to combat the grass issues. Onward ⬆️⬆️
Well done to all the team 👏🏻🍻, first Full harvest I've watched with your channel and it's been very entertaining 😀. Enjoy your few days break look forward to the groundwork 👍🏻 Feed wheat the way to go , the bigger yield will out way the premium on milling wheat I reckon .
Well done on finishing harvest 24. Not an easy season but great you are finished and safe. Cousin here in ireland still has 80 acres of spring oats. Weather has broken down. Combine sitting for a week already and no harvest
Hi James another brilliant video. It's nice that you have had a good harvest but as a non farmer i found that the last 10 minutes of filming most interesting as regards forward planning with the varieties and the yields you could accomplish.
Well done james. Looking around here in wiltshire and Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire velcourt still have loads to go at as well as all the big contractors.
Fantastic video once again with what must be the best photo of the 4 combines and chasers for next years PX farms calendar (available in November onwards on the PX website?) I think it was 1976 when our family went to Tiptree Essex fruit picking but when we got to the caravan site there was no fruit to be had, there were cracks in the grass that you could put your arm down it was that dry. No doubt your dad's Ford Capri was Colemans mustard yellow with a black vinyl roof lol. Really enjoy your channel and can't help but laugh along when you start laughing.
Well Well Well what a channel with out doubt this as to be the best watch by far well done James , this channel makes Olly Bogs look a small time farmer /player do keep the videos coming James.
Epic. David Lean could not better that. Could feel the tension towards the end of Harvest. Then a discussion on the back door of the Range Rover as to where we go from here. What to plant, where to store, it just goes on. Cousin Michael, well, how cool is he, watch him, he could sell you anything...... Great stuff, excellent, educational and entertaining.
I think someone might have been feeling the effect of those bloody Mary’s James. 😂👌👍Great video. Interesting discussion around the wheats. What’s your thoughts on Durum wheat? Is there a higher premium??
Brilliant podcast, learnt a lot. Your Business-is very well managed and super efficient but pleased you are not an automaton the young chattering child in the background brings all into realty.
I cannot believe that power lines, providing electricity, have different rules within or over agricultural land than the road network ,or housing estates. They have the same dangers.!!!! I believe it is the power networks responsibility to make sure their network is safe. BTW i agree their wayleave payments are a complete joke and are a throw back to when utilities in GB were nationalised., Good luck getting proper compensation,,,,,,,,,,,,, Carry on providing , one of the best farming vlogs on You Tube 👍
Great video as always ,content educational to everyone if your in farming or not (my question is has it got to the point to make money in farming you have to be big as being small the margins are to small for a smaller farm especially the outlay in materials and machinery outlay and of course labour
Loved the ensemble shots!But at what point do you consider SFI? Wheat price falling every week on the back of one of the worst harvests (yield wise) and lowest planted area in years. Why bother?
The shots of the 4 combines and chaser bins were exceptional! Cannot wait for more content throughout the winter. Well done on completing harvest 24. your team, do you proud.

Yes those two years (1975 &1976) were very dry and sunny I got married 1976
In 1976 we got 8 ton from a 45 acre field of spring barley. We tied baler twine to the reel tines to try get the ears close to the ground. A lot of farmers stopped growing spring crops after 76. Age 11 then.

what an amazing you tube channel. congratulations guys on finishing harvest. Great job .
I’m feeling a bit down at the moment. But listening to James laugh is a real tonic 😊. Looking forward to lots of ploughing and cultivation footage.
Good to see the end of your harvest. We will hopefully get a START 😂this week currently raining here in NE scotland. Wishing for a good spell of weather to all farmers
Good to see you've cracked the harvest. Also nice to show appreciation to the troops who have done the hours to make that possible. We had a really good end to a season one year -( thanks Hughie). Lots of cultivation videos to come now then...
Just discovered. Thank you - for feeding, educating and entertaining me!
Amazing set up

James, do you do public speaking events? Think a lots of organisations could benefit from hearing how you run your business and especially how well you treat your staff.
Staff management a topic unfortunately rarely discussed .
Great video James it is great feeling when the combines finish the harvest but there is a lot of work to do to get it drilled with next year’s crops

It appears that Cousin Michael has got you thinking about the upcoming wheat crop given the demise of oilseedrape .The locality of the milling and the feed groups sound like a given but the variety is going be interesting, given that Michael hinted of new ones at the threshold to combat the grass issues.
Onward ⬆️⬆️

Good idea with the low hedges, I'm sure a few others will copy that.

Well done James on getting harvest in. Where have your combine drivers finished up in the combine league?
Brilliant podcast, learnt a lot. Your Business-is very well managed and super efficient but pleased you are not an automaton the young chattering child in the background brings all into realty.

Did you manage to put some wheat through the combine to clean them off inside?
Ole happy Bank holiday
In Burnham Market for a week, Made me feel better about myself knowing you were born in 76 and I was born in 70 and most of my hair is still brown 👍🍺
James now that you have finished harvest please may I have a pair of rugby shorts.....lol
Wat was the name of the pub he brought them to did he say,,?great video yet again and well done on gettin all finished👏
Loved the ensemble shots!But at what point do you consider SFI? Wheat price falling every week on the back of one of the worst harvests (yield wise) and lowest planted area in years. Why bother?
Thoughts on the new defender James. Would you swap in your rangey??
Try some palladium!
