Just thinking how they managed just fine to farm a few hundred acres with 40HP tractors and very basic machinery. Now it seems farmers need to spend millions on machinery to do the same job..

Aye farming was a good life.

After all is said it is a very interesting video.

Is there a ray of hope anyone knows who produced the Music for this program...mainly, the woodwind quintet type music starting at 11:42 sec. Many thanks..

That sounds like news reader Richard Baker doing the commentary.

They'll be no dairy farming in the uk by 2060. Just houses and solar farms as far as the eye can see

A delightful film for me as my first job was working on a dairy farm in 1978. Interesting that there is no mention of sulphur fertilizer in this video as it was supplied for free in those days in the dirty air from coal power stations and steal works.

Cant beat fetching the cows up in your best suit and shiny shoes. Happy days

Go with Ayrshires. Not Muslims. How's that workin for ya?

Ayrshires are and were the staple of Dairy producers.

Before Britain joined the EEC.

Good Jerseys !

Praiseworthy good record film such work keep alive the past good old days

does anyone know when this was filmed or who filmed it?

Thank God for ici

South Devon cows produce quality milk as well. In 1965 we had twenty-two cows, Jersey, Guernsey and South Devon on 84 acres nine hundred to one thousand feet up on Bodmin Moor and sent away four churns a day in spring and summer! How I miss those days of the family farm when farming was not just a job but a pleasure.

Better times at least there was a bit of profit in those days even with a small herd was brought up with nuffields and majors great tractors

Lovely cows but I never really enjoyed working with the Channel Island bulls- quite aggressive compared to other breeds!

What no ADD- F 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hah I like this

I didn't realize how much British Farmers Thrive. With rainfall all year they must do so well

Not everyday you see a farmer wearing a suit and bringing in the cows. We have lost our ways

My god , the good old days when grass had had so much fertiliser thrown on it , it was almost blue with nitrogen , ( yes , that,s where the american " blue grass "anacronym comes from ) , most of us could afford it then , & were not restricted to hell over what we were begrudgingly " allowed " to do with our own land , to adequately feed our animals , or be heavily penalised for non - compliance , basically ordered what to do with your own property by someone else,s english government you never voted for , enforced by a civil servant who has no idea of your individual agronomic circumstances & does not want to know , whom you hate the sight of anyway . He just follows a set governmental template with his eyes firmly shut . This man,s cows are a picture of health , his fields , tidy , ordered & highly productive , & his butterfat figures excellent , as only healthy , content , well - fed cows milk this well . The only slight criticism I might have is that the Charolais calves needed de - horning as baby calves , so it,s done young & they forget all about it . Otherwise he was doing an excellent job , without constant worries over meeting " external " government criteria & deadlines , such as e.a. limits on nitrogenous fertiliser use without consideration of the background level of AVAILLABLE nitrogen in the soil anyway . A lot of soil nitrogen is simply unavaillable to plants , therefore no point in counting it in plant soil health calculations , ( botany ) . The land itself will tell you what it needs feeding & how much , if you have the experience & savvy to read it properly , this man did ! Governments must stop messing with agriculture , go mess with someone else,s country again instead . Whoops ....oh s##t , war ! was it something we did ?

Sorry to say but by now them cows do be dead doe

Good old days, wish I could be alive then just to use the old Tractors

It was a much more balanced system than what goes on now days

This is fake video . This is all made up and probably filmed in the 90s or even later . They didn't have colour video footage in the 60s for fucks sake !

When uk werent snowflakes

bit obviously an ICI production, but takes me back to my childhood. thanks for posting.

milk was not full of crap,to make it last longer,,,great days,,

Our dairy at our old farm still looked like that

Lovely days remember them well.

we had a silage harvester like that back in the day .........remember it as a child .....

I don't believe it!!

Sounds like Richard Baker.

I can’t drink milk now due to lactose and my IBS.

Hello I live in London, United Kingdom and I am looking for work in agriculture or raising livestock. I do not know where to look. Please help if I can thank you. 😊

Sadly this is probably all houses now

Dairy farming is slavery and neglect. Disgusting industry.

Low rainfall? What about now

Omg there arnt any vegens
