No idea how you were lucky enough to get Anna who appears capable , CERTAINLY WILLING to try anything whole heartedly, and such a character who is willing to be on camera to add spice to your channel! And of course good luck to you to try to keep on top of every situation! She certainly brings out your playful side too! Not that watching you load and move tires isn’t interesting but it wouldn’t bring a smile to your viewers!
Got love Anna❤️ Tom she is worth her weight in gold!!
What are the odds Tom hires the FEMALE version of himself? I think Anna is adorable!
Yeah boy...
Yeah boy
Your wee helper is full of life. A great addition to your farm. Never a dull moment. Brilliant and very funny.
move that cake tower.
Got to agree, put it away from the clamps.
More importantly keep the feed clean and dry. You cant expect poop juice water running into it constantly to be good for anything.
Agree, Think it would we easier for Filling & then Compacting the clamp face. If it were my choice, I would move the Fuel station in the background further back & put the Cake tower at the shed corner where the fuel tank is Just now, to keep it handy for loading the mixer.
Love this channel! - Why isn’t this stuff placed indoors to keep it dry etc? I’m not a farmer 🧑🌾
Are you sure Hanna and you aren't related. You're both as mad as a March hare......in April. 😊 You both make us smile. X❤
The girls are brilliant, they just get on with it and can have a good laugh aswell. You can see how much they care about the the farm and the animals, definitely keepers if you can. They definitely need there own merch!👍
The clamp looks good Tom, Anna, looks happy as ever she is happy in her work. Can you do a video with your dad? We miss seeing him in the videos. I hope he is feeling better!
Love the 'Kick ass woman'. She can fling a tire, drive a tractor, slop manure and dish it back to Tom.
Wow she can drive a tractor 😱, come on, how sexist is that. Any female that grows up on a farm will drive tractors, teleporters and anything else that moves. My daughter bales the straw
I just love Anna!!! Always ready for a laugh but knows what shes doing!
Couple of years ago i added an additional transparent layer of plastic that adheres closely to the grass, effectively sealing the clamp and preventing air ingress. Since then, we have experienced no issues with rot, and of course, we use side sheets
Do you think maybe if he did a better job keeping his farm clean and all that pee and poop out of the feed it would be better? You know kind of seems like common sense huh?
We do that too, and use sand to cover it up. Its a bit more work to uncover but there is 0 rot and the silage doesnt get warm
do you think the transparency has an effect on the ensiling process?
@@jwiereng no dont think so but the transparency is a charastic so everyone knows directly what we talk about. And over this seal goes a the black stuff to protect the transparancy layer
That girl is mad, cracking video Tom,
Tom, there is a lot of money underneath those silage sheets! Spending a little extra money on sheets (oxygen barrier, sidesheets and a good top sheet) will pay for itself quickly.
Also, if they’re available, truck tire sidewalls are a great way to put some proper weight on the sheets. Plus they’re easy to stack and don’t collect rainwater.
Yay! Construction sound! The girls are great, and they seem to be good for you too! Keep laughing!
I had to laugh , when you let the cattle into the silage , two went to the silage about a 3rd of the way up, tried it, moved to the showroom end tried it, then moved back to where they'd started 😅 Tom nothing is perfect ! 😊
I like when farming science is applied. You knew, within a few days, of the decline in production. You could then calculate the reward benefits of switching things up. So good you have the option available.
Hope to see Andrew back soon.
The girls do look a treat to work with.
Moving that silo seems like it would be worth the money/effort for a better clamp if it directly effects your milk production.
Stick it against the new shed next to your diesel tank or behind the slurry tank on the area stoned as that will also discourage it from becoming a dumping ground.
'Farm Theory'
your only man 👌
Silage Specialised 💯
We will get Tom on the right track yet! 😅
We sometimes just put some salt on the places that are prone to get bad. We also use side sheets and we mostly have quite good silage and almost no spillage. We also prefer sand over tires seals it in way better and the presure is more even. We do 20 to 30cm of sand preferably. We also already have drains in the clamps. I would pick another place for the bulk silo personally......
We are 8 month into the lactation, we are on about 38ltr a cow now, it was about 41ltr we have to milk 3 times a day, getting about 17,000 LTRs a day on high yeild
Having spent many years as a feed rep mainly in dairy nutrition the best or better silage always came from well sealed clamps. That means to sheet the sides and rear then when the top sheet goes down the side sheets can be folded over first then the top. Ideally minimum 2-3 metres extra on the sides to fold over come sheeting time.far less waste which with the cost these days to grow grass, cost of cutting and harvesting a bit more sheeting pays dividends.
super strong Anna what an addition to the farm
Tom.. Anna is getting into you head, and rubbing of on you, it’s not good, bring back the old Tom😉
Ooo, Wareings are back again how exciting! Can't wait to see the next video on that!
Always wondered why you don't put side sheets on the clamp , seals the clamp so much better ?
But the ramp always is rubbish !
Every clamp is a disaster. It cost a lot of money
Hopefully with the clamp being covered it minimizes need for side sheets. He definitely needs to move that tower between the two clamps. No way he is going to ever be able to get good compaction when there are so many corners
I take he's going to use the clamp when it's empty for housing animals?
Definately, achieves a much better seal to the top sheet and is more airtight which means less waste
You have a brilliant working relationship with Anna - mad as a box of frogs and a hard worker 😊
I watch Black Horses - Friesians on Greenbank Farm in Cumbria and Jody is a shepherdess gone for 2 weeks for lambing - I don't envy her lambing on the hills 😮
Anna is crazy, I love it. Proper mad cow, perfect for your farm ❤
Tom, great video.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97
Use Cling Film
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, cling film would be
it. The long term benefits of cling film have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now.
And get an old telehandler/loading shovel tyre to put the grab up on to keep blade up off the ground.
I live in the U.S. and watch you, 10th generation, and saskdutch. It's interesting the difference in dairy farmers from 3 different countries.
We put our plastic down the walls and then after it's full and packed we pull the plastic over from either side. Then we put a layer of big square bale slices over the whole pit (clamp). Works really well spoiles a bit in the front edge and a little bit at the back wall.
Side sheets and clingfilm, worth every penny. Give it a go and i bet you won't go back.
Anna is a ball of fire! Love it! Tom, sometimes you do drone on a little bit eh, but Anna, she keeps ya in line! Well played!
I agree, we have brown and white, black and white and white and blacks. It's a good colour combo
I've been recovering from surgeries for while. Days all blur together. Today I turned on RUclips and saw your video. I said "Oh! It must be Tuesday!"
Just a thought. How about moving the cake bin across the yard next to the diesel tank. Even push the tank back along the side of the building. That would stop the corner rot problem and give a better swing out of the cubicle shed. 🙂
Great video tom and everyone working hard to keep the farm working and your leadership is paying off 👍👍
I really love the look that grey one
Maybe you can put plastic on the side walls. Fold them in first and than the plastic on top. If water runs down the sides, it goes between tha wall and the plastic on the sides.
Nice video!
Amazing work you all do for the animals. Well done. Love and prayers 😇💜
Need to move the meal bin, plenty of room
Thanks for the video Tom.
BeWell and StaySafe ✌️
Tom, you have a great helper
Great video Tom. Good to see the crew.
Love your farm girls. 🚜 😊
You had me really worried when the caption said milk crashes...I thought there was a huge milk spill! Thanks Heavens I was wrong. Don't worry about not having the Ninja Warrior behind you checking what you are doing....you are so so good at what you're doing.
should add roof above the clamps!!!
Enjoyed the video and your explanations are helpful.
I liked seeing the bench and table you had holding the waterproof sheet down 😀
Bite the bullet Tom. Use sheeting and move the tower between the clamps. In the long run you'll be able to compact the grass better without those corners and have less waste. Dont try to save a bit of money now then down the line have to do it anyways. Everything is only going to get more expensive. I.e. the midding build and not extending it one more section to have enough storage with the wet weather
I'd look to move your meal silo. It's only 3 cube of concrete underneath it. You can make a pad to handle the silo for molasses also. It would cut down the waste silage at that front corner and make filling the pit so much easier for the contractor.
Great video as always Tom
Top class once again💪👏
Move the bin to opposite sode and molasses tank beside it. Put all your 1st cut at home for the milking cows.
You two make a good team.
I agree
Tom. You are an example for all young farmers, kudos for you taking on new challenges and opportunities.
A videobof where you see yourself in 5 years would be awesome!
You have a great helper. I love working with people like her. Good laughs while getting it done.👍
Omg Anna is an amazing edition to ure vids tom been watching u for a while now absolutely love the vids
Tom, side sheets, side sheets, side sheets! And ditch the pipe round the edge, might let water out but it will certainly let air in!
Thought exactly the same thing !
Blimey tom, anna is amazing! She sertainly brings a smile to my face.
looks actually pretty OK.
the edges are always crappy, because of the water and the corner does not help for sure. The front was to be gross too, because of the traffic on it. but overall it looks quite OK.
And regarding the viewing area, it is also nice for the non-farmer to see a farm as it really is, the shed where the animals live and where you work, it may not be as pretty as the farm shop, but it is the reality of farming. exactly what we all like on your channel.
Anna is a legend
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊 🙏 👍 😀
Jayus lad I'm sick looking at them cheap panels at d end of ur new shed ! U surely have a few good proper gates hanging around !!
I know it’s probably an often discussion in the pembertom household at the moment but move the meal silo, I know it’s an absolute pain to knock down steelwork and concrete that are not long up but it is worth it in the long run.
The new music is banging Tom!!!
We added molasses to maize silage 60 years ago when I worked on a dairy farm in Rhodesia. However the silos were round pits dug in the ground & it was easy to pour a 44 gallon drum of molasses every 6 ‘ or so & let it seep down.
Your little helper is great fun to see on a farm and she always seems to bring out the best of you and your videos Tom lol 😂
Great video Tom
Great video Tom 👍👍
Grest video tom! Uplifted my mood after feeling rather poo due to the abysmal weather
I must say I love the nerdy grass talk anything like that, the crops and the analytics is great and really interesting. as I'm studying it awesome video Tom 🎉 :)
Blimey the rain must be good up your way those steels at the back of the clamp have shot up like sunflowers!!!
Love the way you sat there throwing the magnet like a toy lol 😂
tom, to fix your problem in the corner there,you could put panels up at an angle from corner of wall around the silo back to your first pillar on the wall,it would take out that corner then that fills with water and wasteing all that silage in there,if there was an angle to your pit the water wall fall naturally to the front and keep your silage better? kepp up the good work an anna is a tonic,must be fun working beside her every day😀
I'm so sorry. It feels like I've lost my Hamish 🐶 all over again 😢
I agree with you that they are never JUST an animal. THEY ARE FAMILY 💗
THEY help us. Comfort us. Grieve with us.
We will all grieve with you, for your loss. My love and support is winging its way from the UK 🇬🇧 x x x
Thanks Sir Tom! By giving Us your numbers make it so much moore, intersting over here in Seden! Keep it up Sir! Best regards Swedish farmers thru Peter Eriksson Sweden! ❤❤❤!
Wow tom so much happening
Hey to Ginger warrior man… keep taking it easy,, your almost there. !!! Munch looks good I say!! Lol I heading to craw into bed. Been a long day. Nice one though.hummmm hugs to all!!
I'm still suprised thebin is between those pits. Fuel tank would be a lot better location for bins etc because of expandibility. Also pit water can run off a lot better and the silage is easier to compact. We started using side sheets and it improved our silage quality and reduces waste a lot. Give it a try ;)
Tom go for the big molasses tank artic load is the way to go think ahead like you did with the long legs on clamp 👍👍
We grew a combination of alfalfa & orchard grass for our cows. The alfalfa helped bolster things when the grass wasn’t its best especially in 2nd cutting and later (we sometimes got a 5th cutting, but 4 was normal - USA, Midwest). It was a nice combination which always produced a heavy first cutting. Second cutting as baled dry hay fed along side maize silage was a great combination, too. If you’ll use the molasses during the last 4 to 6 weeks on the beef you’re finishing, you’ll have better beef. Keep those animals for your farm shop.
Solid Tuesday video. Ginger guy if you’re reading the comments we miss you and we hope you’re healing and taking care of yourself. Tom, you have a lot of women on the farm that are basically funnier than you are so be careful everyone else. Happy cows. See you on Friday be well be You
I wish we could take some of your rain. We're fantastically dry here. Finally got 2 inches this morning, but we're waaaayy behind.
Yep Tom we came to the same conclusion about fertiliser try this weekend we had the whole years weather last night, thunder lightening sleet hail stones wind and rain with sunshine poking through all at the same time it is really getting me down. Third cut didn't look to bad I' ve seen worse shame the milk went down but it should be good belly fill for youngsters and dry's . The girls on your team are great think they brighten your work days no end and that's worth a lot in any year but this year especially .
So pleased you mentioned the tyres 😂
You are right- use wooden pallets & put tires on them. Then they stack up neatly when not in use and on the clamp it helps keep the birds & animals from making holes ! Did you use the beets already? All that algae on the walls shows how much rain 🌧 this year!!
Thankyou glad it work out good .
Cows are prity . All those earthy colors .
Your co worker is funny .
Not watched your vid yet but its cheered me up know I can later on. Have a good one Tom
The energy for removing tyres is great 😂 great team effort
I dig young farming generations. Snark, get go attitude, perfect
me too keeps tom on his feet. kinda like he has his own kid
Completely different in our case then. Been feeding third cut and change to new clamp, still third cut. Cows start milking 3.4 kilo more in average 😅
Try putting the grab on a pallet. We do that with our buckets just to keep them off the ground.
Hanna a nutcase but a good addition to the channel, who hit the bar on the clamp 🤭🤣
Enjoyed the short time-elapsed clip when the cows came in to feed. Watched a few pick and swap their feeding stall trying to find their favorite grub.
Still loving the videos and so great to have young blood on the farm keeping you on your toes and for the next generation. Hope the Ginger guy is ok. Look forward to the next video. Came up from Birmingham the other day to get your flavoured milk 😁
The real world, that health and safety can never understand 👍
Yes to the jerseys, they're naughty, dead smart and so funny.
☘️Very tidy cattle shed tom 😀👍☘️
So Tom, I have seen the tasters, I have heard the hints, I have even seen Wareing's back on the farm. No more secrets does this mean work has begun on the clamp /showroom roof? I just wanna say. I love seeing Anna and Katie on the videos they are hard workers and you all interact well together.
the farm i worked for coverd the clamps with dirt over the plastic to weigh it down. then we would just scoop up as much dirt of as possible and use the bucket to slowly roll up the plastic and uncover the silo. the dirt works well and even with cows climbing on the clamp it still held up strong.
you need to throw plastic up and down the sided of the clamps then when you fill it up pull the plastic over so it tucks in then roll a big roll of plastic along the top of it great way to keep it dry
i watch 10th Generation Dairyman as well as a few more and i think they might have a few things that you might not have thought about but tom i love your vids and your farm keep up the great work
