DRAINING OUR WET FIELDS IN FRANCE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 січ 2022
- In today's episode of farming life at La Forge, I will be updating you on my kid goats and how we are "playing with the lights" to change their season to kid in September. Then I will show you a few of dad's new gadgets including two different brushes for cleaning boots / wellingtons and a new dog dish for the kennals. Dad is out on the 8340 draining some of our wetter fields to flow the water out of the fiels

Great video Laura, your dad is some man for making practical very useful gadgets. Great head on his shoulders
Loved the vid and your Dad's gadgets. He's constantly trying to make things easier/ better which I admire
He sure is, never ending ideas out of him
I love fordtraktor . Take not so much fuel. I hope this sesong be good. From farmer to farmer. Sweden
Great video again Laura, you and your Dad get on well 👍. I can see how you both admire each other so much 😀. Daddy's girl 👧. He's a great man.
He sure is! Thanks for watching 👍
Great video Laura that’s a handy machine your dad is a great man he has great ideas
Love to have a closer look at the richer and how it works Laura
Great content
Excellent video Laura great content it's brill how you and your dad explain what you are doing, take care all of you and stay safe 👍.
Thank you, take care 🙂
Central France looks nice in mid winter .
It is and even better in the summer 😉
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge Hey Laura, How's your woodworking shop, and the other farm house renovation? . That stuff interesting also . Thanks Doug from N.Illinois USA 🇺🇸 26 degrees for high temp today 😀
Great video. I was born and lived on a farm in England until I was 13, then moved to the USA. I have been working in France the last year and a half. Your lake would be called a pond or small lake in the USA. Your river would be called a Creek, which is a small river. Would be great to maybe come see your farm while I'm over here working. If
that would be okay.
Hi, yes that would be fine. If you message us on our Facebook page or on Instagram then we could organise something. Regards Laura
Thanks for today's video,wishing you the very best for 2022.🐐🐂🚜👍
Thanks, happy New year 🎉
Seems to do a good job of it. I sure could have used one of those back in the day. We used to do all of pour ditching by hand
Would have been a tough job by hand
Greay stuff Laura your Dad is full of great ideas fair dues In Ireland we thought ye only had "The Green fields of France " good to know there is the odd wet field over in France too!
Thanks glad you enjoyed the video! Haha and there not very green in the summer either
Great video Laura as always 👌
Great video as always tell your dad to keep up the great work
Thanks John, will do
Great video hello from Canada
the muck boot scrapper for your tractor is a great idea... maybe devise a universal attachment for it so as to able to attach it to multiple tractors and sell them... ingenious !
Thanks! Who knows maybe 🤷
So good to watch. 👍😊🇨🇮
Thanks ☺️
Great video Laura 🐕🌟👍
Thanks 😊
That ditcher is class. Looks like a standard rotavator blade.
Yes 👍
A northern great video, great machine that ditcher,alot of people could do with one in ireland.
They are a very handy machine indeed
I hope this year be a good year to farmer. Sweden
Hello thank you
Great video
great video Laura tell your dad going to make a brush for tractor step great idea keep a eye out for dragons den I'll give him a mention
Be sure to mention the channel for me 😉😂
More great inventions from Declan. The goats look well, obviously pampered 🤣 How are the Salers getting on, ok? Looking forward to the Sunday Parade - hope it’s a full family affair.
Take care, be happy and keep smiling.
Richard
Hi Richard, how are you keeping? The Salers are doing very well, I couldn't be more pleased with them so far. I really hope you enjoy today's line up ☺️ take care
Laura
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge The new knee is brilliant - no pain at all thankfully. It takes a full 6 to 9 months to completely settle in, but all good so far. I still have all my Salers out on a dry hill ground overlooking the valley. Even though they make a bit of mess, the field I’d due to have peas and oats under sown with grass this spring. We have our six month TB test on the 25th Jan and so some will be going in then. We don’t have those beautiful blue skies that you do, we suffer with British grey clouds - seeing yours helps. Glad the Salers are doing well, they can be sold under the Salers Rouge Meat Label and so might get a premium price for killing. There meat is marbled and the taste is fantastic. They will never match the round back ends of the Char, Lim or BB’s. Take care, look forward to the Sunday Video later. 🙏👍
the bootcleaner is really nice but i would have mounted another brush facing up just above the water level
Always room for improvement! We only had 2 brushes though 😂
In Ireland the river police are inland fisheries Ireland... they don't interfere with industrial domestic or port impacts on the rivers...they spend there time hiding in bushes watching traditional fishermen....
Hahaha, well over here you wouldn't want to mess with them that's for sure!
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge Pay no hed to that idiot, he was probably caught poaching and just talking shite. Inland Fisheries do a great job, our waterways would be fucked without them.
Brush on the tractor is good idea wonder if it can be improved 🤔
Probably could
Great video. I am looking for one of those ditchers If any one has one for sale let me know . Thanks
Does the outfall from the lake go into another ditch then in to a main watercourse ?
Yes it goes into an underground one
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge oh right and is that far away ?
Once the beavers have gone, it's great to have a moving flow of water especially with fish if it's spring fed. The French love underground water and culverts 😂
Yes it's very near it, it's open all year round just block it up for a day to flood them
thanks for the shout for americans
Thanks for watching 👍
Great video Laura and some great innovations from your dad. Tell me could he have cut a few short drains towards the river rather than running parallel with it ?
I'd say the river police would go buck daft if u done that.
It runs straight into another drain so it's a lot quicker
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge thanks for that.
930 what about making so you can pour food and water into handle pipe so it pours out of pipe into bowls
Another good idea!
Not sure about the dog bowls.
What happens if the river gets blocked and flows out around field
Call the river police they sort it out
No doubt
Yes call them they'll either sort it or give you the right to
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge thanks for the reply
Will these goats be allowed out in the field
So for the year we keep them no they don't (to young at the beginning and then it's winter). When we sell them on it depends on the farm, some let them out, some don't
Is there any job for me?
