Put your hands up if you remember spending days rouging, wild oats in my case, when I was an Ag student. 😏. This was back in the late 70's. Happy days, I knew no better back then.
Absolutely and they still do this on some farms.
I remember back in 1977 hand rogueing Wild Oats from a crop of Dredge Corn.(a mixture of Oats and Barley) grown for home milling for stock feed. After getting your eye in it was relatively easy to spot the Wild Oats from the normal oats. The Wild Oats came in the seed corn. We kept the straw from that field separate from the other fields at harvest. This eliminated a potential Wild Oat problem on our farm.
Another great video ,very educational. I’m going to play it to the grandson do that primary schools teach this as a lesson as well
I can't understand why aren't the big agriculture companies not developing a genetically modified wheat that is roundup ready like soybeans maize and cotton that can be sprayed with roundup without damage to the crops
I think George a quick google search will explain, seems that it was on the cards at one time.
@Glenn Lingard so basically Monsanto got the stick from the greenies as usual mention genetically modified crops and people thinks it's a bad thing
@@georgeehlers6622 yes and more l believe, especially weeds becoming resistant.
You need to bring some sugar beet along also for the kids to cover off the sweet ingredient in the Jammie Dodgers!
🤣🤣
If it was in season I would, any odd roots kicking around the beet pads are wizened up now.
Nice to see the old Matbro still earning its keep, i can't imagine there will be many of that model still working and being in as good a condition as that one.👌
Interesting blog - school pupils attentive essential to promote their interest early. It’s no consolation to you or others but you don’t have the worst black grass problem by a long way!
Years of tackling it has helped no end.
Absolutely love it when you tell us in imperial, can totally understand the numbers you quote thank you, also, was a very nice surprise seeing that Collins teleshift being used and seems to have a very good home🙂
Andrew should there not be a warning triangle to warn viewers about your legs? Great to see another video with the children and a great way to engage with them!
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Itching just thinking about that oat dust 😊
Hope we get some rain soon to help all the hard work farmers and growers have put into their crops.
Luckily I was the right side of the wind! It was always going to come dry after so much rain.
nice to see the children getting all the details
Yes especially learning tht vegetable oil is healthier than olive oil and how much biscuits and cakes are good for you
Hi Andrew well we not had any rain now 3 week's me and my wife been out today coming back home it's in the 20"s look like know rain next week as well any way nice video keep up the good work see you on Sunday .
Another top-notch video. You are to be commended for the effort and time you take to pass on your enthusiasm for agriculture to the youngsters, they are, after all, the future. The black grass seems to be a constant battle, it must take a lot of effort to keep it at a somewhat manageable level. I can't believe the effect it has on the yield, that's a serious potential financial loss. That must've been some whack you gave your thumb....... No doubt some colourful language too! All the best to you & your crew.
I’m going to go through our blackgrass policy in another update. I trapped my thumb in the rear door of a Range Rover 2 Sundays ago. It was fully shut so had to open the door to get it out! Rhonda and I had been picked up to go out for Sunday lunch so wasn’t driving. It hurt a lot more when the bottle of Malbec wore off!! 🤦♂️
Do u not think combine makers should have option to keep small seeds in separate tank rather than spreading out back ,keeping weed seeds going
Always a pleasure andrew! The children were really engaged and couldnt wait to get there hands in those trays! The beans havent done to bad considering its pretty dry! I did a summer for trial company crop technology! many years ago it was really interesting how they managed the plots and the different trials with in the plots! That drone was really impressive! It cost the same as my pick up😂
Good video again Andrew. That black grass is a bloody nightmare isn’t it, just when you think you’ve got on top off it bang it’s back. 😢
Great video, loved the lesson.
Good to see local haulier (to me) Stennetts of Ingham up in Lincolnshire !! Matbro Teleshift looks in fine condition for its age, dont see many of them about now.
Another great video 🚜🚜
Hi Andrew. As an irish livestock and small tillage farmer I am curious about your black grass strategy. Rather than glyphosate if you were to make wholecrop silage for livestock feed or for a digester before the seed is viable do you think it would work. Blackgrass not a problem around here yet but it's coming.....😢
Busy, busy! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
👍👍👍👍
💨 🤣🤣
Even at almost 49(22nd June), I still love Jammie Dodgers lol. 👍🤜🤛🇬🇧
🤣🤣
Last year matt and Agg on four winds farm had a chap with a special machine that removed that black grads. Migh be wort a watch
funny,the last truck who was tipping, is from a company on the island i life,texel in the north of the netherlands,problaby the british ones who also transport the patotoes ,
How often does wheat come in the rotation? Here wheat is black grass number one friend. It seems to appear less with other crops
I’ll go through our blackgrass story in detail in a week or 2. Until then, I divided all fields into traffic light groups. The red ones never grow wheat until they move into the amber category. One lots of fields this year are in wheat the first time for 9years. If you’re intent on getting rid of bg, you cannot grow winter wheat for a number of years.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard looking forward to it mate. Cheers
great stuff andrew
Brilliant video Andrew, Was the gearbox on the manitou replaced under warranty as I remember last year I believe that it had a New gearbox then as well regards Roy
Yes, it was replaced a year ago foc and the sand this time, I can’t fault Manitou for looking after us.
HI, did you try new herbicyde Luximo BSF for black grass.
We haven’t because it’s very expensive and we prefer to hand rogue.
