Spring has arrived on the farm plus why the claim farmers only have 30-40 harvests left is a myth

- After a cold spell of weather in February, March brings more spring like weather and the crops are starting to move again. I also take a look at a new report debunking Micheal Gove's claim UK farmers have depleted their soils to the point where we've only got 30-40 harvests left. Really?!
One man doing more for the mass public’s education and respect for conscientious farming than any multi million pound government or NFU campaign. I respect land use more, now I have witnessed yours.
Brilliant ending Harry. “They will not stop me getting to my fields!”
Fight them in the trenches
Im a die-hard car guy, but I do enjoy this farming education you’ve been giving us. Thank you, Harry!
A lie repeated 1000 times becomes the truth.
Trumps claimed to be a genius over a 1000 times but it's still not true ;)
Commies and socialists have killed at least a hundred million people trying to change lies into truth.
@@ilpatino2905 Yes, I was quoting some socialist propaganda expert, I forgot whom. These lies are not innocent, the message is always the same: "Feel guilty for being alive. You can only redeem yourself by being an obedient slave of ours." In healthy society these people would be in court for waging information war against us.
@@cernejr “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth” a quote attributed to Joseph Goebbels
@@sapphirecuddehay4547 What Gove's parroting of pseudo-science peddled by climate change fanatics has to do with the ex-president of the United States' tub-thumping on the stump is anyone's guess. Perhaps you could enlighten us ;)
I have learned more about farming and agriculture in two years of following Harry's Farm than I did all way through school. Farming and agriculture should be a staple of the school curriculum.
Back in the 1950s we were taught about plant growth at school, plus dad the son of a farmer was a keen gardener so I'd tag along with him. School holidays were often spent on my uncles farm in N Wales, I was even kept in after school for lying in an essay of what I'd done over the holiday. Dad was waiting for me at the gate and when I didn't show he came looking and went to the headmaster. A runner brought the teacher and me to his office. Where in no uncertain terms for father backed my essay up and got the teacher to apologize to me.
Moral of the story don't mess with farmers son's. Or Harry cos they have the facts.
Filling in their trench....my hero! ;-)
Pure Harry lmao
Such a same the media isn’t reporting about the good news about the soil and future harvest
Journalism is dead .. It's all about agenda now
never, ever believe what a politician says particularly someone called Gove
Here in Australia, and I am sure elsewhere the joke is - How do you tell if a politician is lying ? Their lips are moving :-)
Absolutely!!!!!!.....worst Education secretary we ever had!!!
Absolutely, a disastrous Education Secretary, slinks away after the Brexit vote and is now causing havoc elsewhere.
Absolutely...... Weasel-words from a weasely looking individual (Gove). He just has one of those faces you'd like to throw a rotten turnip at.
@@totomesch1940 But he has sincere delivery. You can trust him.
When you're stood there with your binder I'm getting It'll be alright on the night vibes lol
Michael Gove is a Whitehall Farmer, Livestock, he's in the verbal fertiliser business. Very few politicians, even bright ones, know what they are talking about. High on Arrogance and too often misinformed by equally incompetent advisors they don't seem the least bothered by their ignorance. Gove is reckoned to be one of the sharper ones. Doesn't bring confidence does it. We achieve in spite of them, not because of.
which is why the Minister for Agriculture should be a farmer..... Any volunteers....Harry?
@@oliveringram3056 The UK Secretary of State for Food is a farmer.
@@connerymartin2952 His family might run a shop in Cornwall selling produce, most of which I suspect is produced elsewhere, but he is not a farmer. They are the ones out getting their hands dirty.
The problem with career politicians in a nutshell. None of them have a clue what actually happens in the real world, let alone in their supposed area of interest.
Too many Jim hackers in Whitehall these days
I think we’re all glad spring is here. Better times on the horizon.
Thanks for discovering and presenting Hannah Richie's research results. Hopefully that will save much needless anxiety amongst soil savvy farmers and persons in government as well as us other interested persons. Please do not stop your activities finding things out and sharing them on RUclips.
Most people I know have given up following the mainstream media. Thank you for your insights Harry.
brilliantly made video, Harry your ability to communicate is first class, thank you
Great commentary as always. Great work Me Metcalf
If there's a trench in the way, just fill it! I like your style, Harry
Thanks for the update. Interesting about the badgers and the stones.
Farming is completely outside of my knowledge area so I find all this information about it completely fascinating. Thanks and please keep up this vital work
The bird kites give you power over pigeons, Harry, but to influence the weather you'll need to build a Wicker Man.
Dad Enjoyed his 5 days hedge cutting kepping out of the cold Harry 😂
He did a great job too! Looks so much better now,..
BRAVO Harry, good idea regarding the tests I'd be interested to see the video, and Bravo for the shovel work its a must nowadays we should all start filling in the trenches they dig around our fields of freedom.
Farming is always hard work despite incompetent political interference. Great video Harry.
Gove talking rubbish? Noooo... surely not. Great vid Harry!
Harry, I believe you are the most enthusiastic farmer I am aware of, or met. Always a pleasure to view your channel.
it's kind of reassuring that Harry will tell it like it is.... I love this channel.
Just finished binge watching your videos. Harry. Talk about more than meets the eye in farming. I would never have guessed that things were so complicated. Thank you to yourself and the team for all the effort you've put into making these videos. Looking foreword to seeing how 2021 fares on Harry's Farm.👍
13:43 Harry was like F@#K your trench! 😂😂
Be nice to have a Question Time style program where those with influence have to justify their statements to a panel of Harry and his farmer friends. Live!!
Well done Harry for correcting the rubbish and misinformation spread by politicians and people with no thought as to the harm they do
I will say Soil depletion is a problem, but it's in very specific areas where there has been years(decades)of agricultural mismanagement. But for me the idea behind that claim seems to be to make people believe we are doomed. Yet if we are doomed and stop using the land, what will become of it? I'm more then sure there will be someone that will be buying that "worthless soil depleted" land up for pennies and make later huge profits from it. Follow the trail of money...
They will tell us todays farmer is in fact destroying the soil and no one will be allowed to own land, it will be given over to experts, thats when the famine's start, all the 'food produced naturally' will be sold to processed food producers to be sold to the public.
Thanks for this Harry, it was refreshing to hear some up to date research on this. One counter-point, however: I took a look at Ritchie's report and it seems to focus entirely on soil erosion (i.e. physically getting thinner). Is the claim of "only x harvests left" not also very much to do with soil fertility? As I understood it, the worrying trend was more to do with things like reliance on chemical fertilisers due to the soil becoming less fertile (a result of less livestock grazing maybe)? Interested to hear your take on that - I am absolutely no expert!
If narrated by Clarkson: "in today's episode: kites, some field, harry uses a shovel"
Victoria Coferri...why gives a toss about that slob Clarkson...
@@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834 Imagine someone having a different opinion of a person than you. What a concept.
@@smallpants I entirely accept that someone is entitled to a different opinion except when they are wrong about that rich fat 2 timing bastard 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant! still giggling!
I like many came across your farming channel due to your garage channel, what a fascinating insight to how our food is produced and the work involved.
These videos are superb.
Politicians and their enablers, the corporate media, have only their pockets in mind. Not humanities best interests.
Both your channels are a joy to view.
Love your car channel and now I'm following and learning from your farm channel. Thanks for your content & presentation skills, bloody brilliant & much appreciated 🙂
That last shot of you, Harry, backfilling the trench by your gate is pure gold!
I love these videos, they answer many of my questions.
I know I'm quite off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Arjun Forest i would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Roger Shane yup, have been watching on FlixZone for since april myself :D
@Roger Shane Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it !
@Arjun Forest no problem :D
Harry’s Farm. The only RUclips channel I automatically press the ‘thumbs up’ before I’ve seen the content, knowing it’s going to be good. Thumbs up!
That and Harry's Garage
Excellent video as always. I learn so much from you Harry. Thank you.
Who else thought the kite in the background was a chip on their screen 🤣
Me. :-)
Great to hear your calm, thoughtful and knowledgeable analysis of those hysterical headlines. Your two channels are a shining example of RUclips at its best, fine stuff :-)
Great to see Harry’s farm again, spring is here, hooray 😃
Really glad you're back with us. I didn't get a notification yesterday. 👍🏼
I had a large bed of phacelia in my front garden, as winter ground cover, and it was doing OK, although probably a bit leggy because it was densely sown.
That really old patch killed it all, stone dead in the West Midlands. Love your videos.
Thanks Harry! Have a nice week mate and keep safe!
When they did the study, did they think to ask a Farmer?!
Thanks Harry, spent a coup!e of seconds trying to wipe off a spot on the ipad screen which turned out to be your bloomin kite 🙄
Spec savers?
Same here haha
I did the same LOL
Not just me then. 🤣
Thought it was a real bird at first... so it's doing it's job then
Farmers- silent warriors of the quality of health for the consumer.
Great video Harry! I’m looking forward to seeing the results of your study with NRM - I find Harry’s Farm a fascinating insight into the farming world, and finally getting a farmer’s perspective across to the broader community.
Gove has made a career out of talking bollocks, that's why he had got where he is in the Tory Party. Never let science get in the way of a shocking headline.
Enjoyed it very much. My life is all about sailing, and more sailing, yet the way you describe all the things going on at your farm could tempt me to become a farmer too! Thanks for the effort of sharing! Keep it going!
Thanks a million for another cracking blog spot on thankyou
Harry, I hope you have a better year than last rain-wise.
Hi Harry. As a big fan of Harry's Garage I never thought I would be so interested in all things Rural. Must be in the your delivery. Subscribed.
The word is not myth. It is "deliberate lie."
Fabolous content as always... Never would have thought that the channel on farming would have me so fascinated, as opposed to cars. Very knowledgeable, first-hand quality opinions and facts, science-based, yet simply very interesting and presented in a professional, though casual manner. Thank you.
Thank you Harry for your vlog
Excellent thank you, really valuable to have well presented and balanced information.
Thank you so much interesting informative enjoyable as ever grazie ciao
Great Farm Videos - best wishes from Germany to you ❤️🌲🌳❤️
Thanks Harry, yes great to welcome spring in so many ways. So pleased you highlighted the soil myth. Take care.
Another fascinating video, thanks Harry!
Love watching this it's interesting to know what goes on to grow crops
Keep up the good work harry. 👌👌
Also it fills my time waiting for your new harrys cars videos 😉😉
Why doesn't Harry have classic tractors made by Lamborghini or Porsche?
Lovely video Harry cheers..... sadly the "actions " of the electricity board come as no suprise.
Harry. Write to your local MP and ask him to raise a PMQ for the Rt Hon Michael Gove to respond.
Where I am (in Aust) our soil health has improved dramatically since 1947 when our records began and it shows in the huge increase in yields.
Electric board are the same in Northern Ireland, they think they have a free reign too. Well done Harry!!
just discovered Harry's Farm having been a key viewer or Harry's garage for a few years as I am an Aston and a 550 Maranello owner, But I also have a 400 acre farm in Suffolk so I am now a double Harry fan! Great stuff. To quote Evo on the 550 - good points Everything, bad points Nothing !
We must be concerned about what Michael Gove says because the politicians dictate policy. Shame on them!
Agenda 21 keeps showing up on your videos and it's absolutely breaking my heart. Love the content and glad to see most commenters are in a similar mindset.
This is the best idea I have heard... I would of never thought kite could be used like this...
These mis-truths pop up everywhere - it drives me crazy, one of these reasons for coming out of the EU - but we won't mention that! Really great and fascinating video, and I'm not talking about the badgers! Has anyone spoken to Michael Gove? I'd love to know where he gets his facts from as well! What about rabbits, Harry, they are just starting to pop up with a vengeance here after a very quiet winter. I'm a little bit lucky as a young Kite has set up home in the new barn here and is doing a good job on the mice, and hopefully the rabbits too. I've noticed some young beech plantings have been nibbled, hopefully they'll recover with a help of the plastic tubes I've now put out. All good fun!
Great vid Harry. During the Oilseed rape section, I thought I had a fly on my screen, took me 2 minutes to realise it was one of those Kites far in the background!
Great video Harry! Thanks for the thorough research on continued soil's capabilities. Thans for sharing insights and results of the Soil sampling by NRM. Look forward when you will compare the organic matter. Nice to be at the fields in spring, as it is all coming as you say. You almost feel it. The rapeseed crop still looks solid as you showed us, notwithstanding the hard times it got from the cold days with hard winds blowing. Nice to get the machine putting the liquids fertilizer so gently and precise at the place where you want want it. What is it called dribble bar system? Looks great, while the wind has very little impact. Thanks and bye. Look forward to hear and learn more next time.
As usual very interesting, thankyou.
Complex. Fascinating. Thank you, as ever :-)
You are a legend Harry, thanks for this. Some science and common sense applied to yet more hysteria that you'd expect from the main stream press but from leading politicians, disgraceful!!
Just saw the video on UK beef from January, Excellent!! job in explaining the process and further prove as to the beauty that is the British 🇬🇧 country side.
Nice to see you speeding the word about liquid fertilizer and it’s benefits as this keep me in a job like yourself this is busy time of year
Finally! Always glad to see a new upload, makes my day, haha.
Harry...Great video as always and what a satisfying ending...well done!!
Looking forward to following the farm throughout the year, lets hope there is some respite and it's a good year for farmers for a change. Very reassuring to hear about the health of the countries soil, bloody media on their never ending quest for doom and gloom are a pain in the A**.
I have never believed a word of what Michael Gove had to say in the first place. Nice to see this factual backing up of the correct information.
Government talking rubbish? Shocking ...
Always fascinating to watch. Still, I look forward to Harry doing his next European driving trip. They are great to watch. Thank you Harry!
Harry your vids are so interesting and informative keep them coming love the trench filling😀😀
The man the myth the legend. Love Harry’s vids!
Great video Harry. Its lovely to see spring is beginning to get into action.
Farming is a way of life for us all then you get a prat in government that has his say cocks it up for us all then after five years is gone ????
Lets pray for a great yield!
Good luck to Harry
Thanks Harry. Sounds like a good report. Yes Spring is arriving and I am happy. Its crazy how odd data gets propagated. I love this channel.
Cheers, Harry! 😊
Another great video Harry - the stone mystery solved, soil research debunks false claims on soil health & the RR still looking like the perfect farm vehicle - what’s not to love!
Great to see another Harry’s Farm video 👍
Fascinating and so impressive.
Good Evening Harry, could we have an update on the crops and growing progress as the days warm up. Thank you.
I’m not a farmer at all but I love these videos as it informs myself of the rural farm life.
The badger is only the half story, first the stone is freezing up to the top/surface and then the badger is turning over the stone. Check e.g. Mike Mitchell in Canada collecting big stones every year in his corn field. Thanks Harry for the knowledge about how many planting season are left.
Good for you Harry backfilling the trench
Love the garage channel and fell upon the farm from the Land Rover Defender review, England is beautiful hope people there understand what they have. I'm from Barbados 🇧🇧, Harry have you been here as many british nationals have ?
