At the risk of me sounding boring, i cant stress how much of a good job the team on rouging blackgrass are doing, absloutley commendable everyones efforts on beating the black grass. Real top effort... I was sick after 3 hours pulling wild oats
Cracking video again Andrew brilliant. I was talking last week to a farmer friend off mine in Warwickshire and he said he’s never seen so much black grass this year in all the years he’s been farming,
Another great video - thank you for interviewing Andrew and providing him with the opportunity to highlight the difficulties which dairy farmers face on a daily basis. We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to a most impressive Lincolnshire Show.
Thanks Elizabeth, good to meet you. We need to keep highlighting the issues of every sector so please keep in touch and I’d be happy to keep everyone in the loop on how you’re treated. My mobile is easy to find (when it’s not being run over!!!) so please keep in touch.
I'll second that Elizabeth. Any issues like this should be highlighted and hopefully something will be done to improve the situation for farmers. I've said before that the farmer takes all the risk for little reward. Andrew, perhaps interviews like this should be aired on the real country file too and anyone else's channel that would like to highlight other people's views? I sure each channel that airs will reach some that won't see it elsewhere. Got to say, i don't like Robo dog. Imagine it with a gun. Scary.
Morning Andrew, when you watch it on a large format like a TV the video quality is very odd like there’s a filter on or something, you might need to change some settings
Thank you! I found the issue. I use the app splice, to edit the videos. When I downloaded it onto the new phone yesterday, there is a new feature in it called super high definition and the video was edited in that format. I’m going to have to be careful in the future because I’ve just found out it can’t be turned off permanently. I will have to un tick the feature every time I load a video which is a right pain.
I love it when you have a rant Mr Ward, i think you should have a ten minute rant every Wednesday about the latest issues on agriculture as there are issues we don't all hear about. Hope you have an easier week this week.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard no it wouldn't be boring Mr Ward, and I reckon your subscriptions would rise considerably within a few weeks, you know a vast amount of agri politics if that's the right phrase and I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in what you have to say.
Thank you Andrew, totally agree with your rant. In our corner of the UK, I've completed the gov. soil sampling. I have spent many many years via the same accredited gov. approved sampling, to improve soil health to little effect. The gov. are investing some £45 million in soil sampling. My results are now mostly above recommendation via the new gov. scheme, even though we are exporting a lot of nutrient off farm, and applying less nutrient per ha. on farm. Does not make sense!!! Inflation, as eroded the value of gov. support. Gov. red tape is becoming to costly verses return from gov. And we are having to reach net zero by 2050. My neighbouring country only needs to reach carbon neutral by 2050 (massive difference). Firstly there needs to be ONE accredited carbon calculator that all countries reference too. Plus the growing crops, forages, vegetables, hedges and trees are not included in our farm carbon calculation, that needs to be addressed. Totally agree with the dairy farmer, we are all farming around the cost of production. Gov. have aloud the supermarket model to keep food cheap. And when a person pays, that money leaves the area.
Totally agree with everything you say Robert. We are up against it from all directions and I can’t see anything changing until we have a change of government which we must have for the future of British agriculture.
Absolutely brilliant to watch Andrew. I used to enjoy going to the Lincolnshire show in the 70s, I live in scotland now and try to get to the Highland show most years. Keep the videos coming, Andrew. Excellent
I can’t see anything changing with farm prices for milk unless we go back to a cooperative that is for farmers before profits! Same with the rest of our industry. I’m fed up with foreign companies taking our country for granted 🤬 If government won’t help then do it ourselves!! France, Germany and other big producers wouldn’t stand this and have Europe backing so why can’t our government😡 guess it’s all about reducing carbon and the easy option 🤔
Milk processor and manufacturer Muller UK & Ireland Group saw operating profit rise to more than £25.8m in the year to 31 December 2021. This was almost £8.7m up on the previous year’s performance. Net assets rose slightly to £348m. After finance income and finance costs, there was a profit of almost £24.2m.
mishaps comes in threes andrew but if you turn round five times and do a little jig it dus nothing to prevent mishaps but makes great viewnig well done to the school and great update main thing is your ok
A really good interveiw with the dairy farmer andrew, he put his points across very well, if he was willing i think it would be a good farm for a wardys farm visit, i cant believe after the world wide insecurity of food the goverment are not focusing some kind of support for uk agriculure instead they seem intent on throwing us to the wolves,
I don't think a change of government is going to help a vast amount, from what I've seen if labour get in good quality land will be taken for windmills and solar.
It depends on their policies. There’s only such a lot of solar going in now because the gov are happy to import everything. If labours policies support home grown food, it might cut down on the numbers of solar going in.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard around us farmers are using renewable energy to subsidise their farming, it's a crazy situation, have you heard the theory in holland that the farm land is been taken from farmers not because of nitrate pollution but because they plan to build a tristate city
I’ve heard of what’s happening in Holland. I don’t have a problem with solar on food producing land because it’s driven by government policies making it difficult to farm profitably.
Have you got the gb news interview Andrew? If so could you put that up too? Cheers. Have you thought about having a few cattle again and selling beef boxes locally? Just a thought.
We have had terrible trouble with weed beet as we are on quite heavy land but this year we’ve grown some KWS smart rixta which we have than sprayed once with the Conviso 1 and it’s taken it all out. Another thing that impressed us was that we didn’t have to spray for any other broad leaf weeds either and it’s cleaned it right up.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard the seed and spray wasn’t cheap but it’s saved 2-3 passes with the sprayer so I’d say the cost per ha probably won’t be to different to normal. Ill let you know the results when it’s lifted
Thanks Andrew, it’s been a while since I’ve commented. The sewage sludge firstly has been a great success. We got about 2,000 tonnes in the end. On SFI rates I suspect the present government are hoping private finance markets are going write the cheque. I know how that ends coming from a near 20 year career as an investment banker. We are dairy farmers also. In addition to cost of living the other great excuse used is “look at the futures market”. The futures market is less than 1/400 in notional terms relative to annual EU physical milk production, but yet apparently that’s the efficient market! Cheers, Tim
I remember when every farm om clay soil ran TM 56/70 back in the 60/70`s a contractor friend let me drive his ,he then upgraded to one of the first 3 point linkage with 4 furrow Ransomes plough, i think the TM rubber track machines suffered premature track failure ,i think some were refitted with rubber caterpillar tracks some one is sure to correct me , on a lighter note one of my friend contractor customers was really excentric as one of the thing he would do was run round his farm in running shorts and boxing gloves punching electricity poles, my friend remarked on his ways saying he pays well if he asked me to drive the electric pole he would ,
Afternoon Andrew, with regards the blackgrass, have you more this year than others? As down here we had a problem with ryegrass last year and hardly any blackgrass and this year more blackgrass than ryegrass which is a pain, glad you had a welcome rain, we had 21 mm in the last week, look after that phone😉👍
Hello Simon. We do have more this year because it’s the first time we’ve needed to spray any patches off for about three years and I think we’re going to put three fields back into a Spring Barley for two or three years. We are seeing more brome, than we used to have.
With regard to the Milk prices Ian Potter predicted exactly what has happened with the prices last backend but unfortunately he didn't live to see it happen
Sadly not surprised that DEFRA aren't listening. The wider agricultural community all are saying food security is paramount and with the complexity of the new scheme few are taking it up. Harry's Farm last week was saying large areas of the Cotswolds may not grow food next year as they have had a terrible time with OSR. They argue its easier to accepts ELMS payments than continue to loose money. I wonder if Mark Spencer has to tow the party line, with a framing background I would have hoped he would push for a better scheme.
Apologies, the app I use to edit the videos had an upgrade and edited in ‘super HD’ without me realising. I will have to make sure that’s switched off in future.
I like how the defra guy said our ears are still open! In other words there going to be closed very soon! Im sure theyll make a right mess of it and send more good folk out of business! The royal highland is definitely on the bucket list! Went to one of the last royal shows in Warwickshire only proper 4x4 in the car park it was so wet. What a shame!
Hi Andrew I'd like to say how much I enjoy the content that yourself Olly & Tom Pemberton put out. But I'd like your opinion on farmers leaving fields fallow. Near me in Northants a farmer has left approx 400 acres from what I can see of bare soil, he hasn't even sown beans for animal feed and I just don't understand why. Your feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your feedback. 😊👍 It’s difficult to comment fully without knowing all the facts could be a few reasons for fallow fields. One could be he thought it was too late to plant spring crops because the soil was too wet, another is, it’s bad for a Blackgrass and he’s cleaning them up before planting crops again next year , or it could be going into solar?
Good content these new payment schemes are not worth it i applied for one then pulled out was not worth all the paperwork for the little money i was going to get . Regards food i went to the local supermarket for some beefburgers for the barby the shelves were empty 🤔😀
The public are going to have to get used to empty shelves until we have a change of government or this one changes it’s food policies which I can’t see happening.
Hi Andrew, just an observation, not sure if your new phone is supposed to be a higher definition than your old one, but the picture quality of the video, although sharp, does not seem to be as good (natural) as your old one. I watch on a Mac PC, so it may look different on a phone.
Thanks for the feedback Robert. That update was recorded with the 11 pro and 14 pro. The intro was with the 14, all the show was with the 11, and after the clip of the track Marshall, was with the new 14.
Apologies, the app I use to edit the videos had an upgrade and edited in ‘super HD’ without me realising. I will have to make sure that’s switched off in future.
On another channel I follow (Now You Know) they cut up their videos in to clips so you can send someone a link to a specific topic. Example your comments about DEFRA not paying sufficient to make it worthwhile for farmers to get involved. Milk and Muller screwing the farmers could be another. A low price for milk but no stock or milk products is no good for consumers. Most consumers are on the side of farmers. Keep campaigning for fairness for farmers.
In between my old phone being run over and using the new one, the app I use to edit the videos had an upgrade and edited in ‘super HD’ without me realising.
I've just looked up the new sfi rules after you mentioned it at the start of the video. What a f*king joke!! I was going to sign up to the soils standards and some other bits but sod it, I'll bale all the straw and make a little money. Defra really need to spend some time in our shoes, paying land rent, high input costs and wheat prices at pre covid levels; they'd soon realise how important these payment are for many farmers and the harm they're doing by giving such poor offers
Dead, right, total joke. I had to let a bit of steam off about the new SFI standards because I know DEFRA people watch my videos, they’ve told me. I have regular conference calls with them so will keep banging the drum, but for the last two years I’ve been in contact with them, they’ve been on send not receive.
Been with NFU for over 20 years...young girl runs into me on a roundabout without any doubts her fault....NFU after 6 months suggested we agree 50/50...went ballistic with them got a solicitor sent one letter the other party paid up immediately....made a complaint to NFU ...got a call from a Bawi Mankoo Customer Relationship Specialist who spoke to me like I was a naughty boy....told me she was end of line full stop...if it wasn't for the staff in our local Macclesfield office being tip top I would have been long gone
It’s so different in every field that an average figure does not show the picture. The least we spend is about £10/ac when there’s only a few to pull, ranging to £120/ac when there’s a lot and we do a field 3 times in 2 weeks to make sure we have got them all.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard pretty reasonably considering heat/rain, I had a squad in last year for docks in organic crops £18/hr lucky we don't have black grass here yet only a matter of time.

Picture is terrible makes your face look dirty and covered in stubble, compaired to your last update that picure was purfect, look to be the contrast is way to high, and burnt out slightly, as i know your video's are always very good quality, so i think there maybe an issue,...(just to let you know.)
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard no worries, we know you will look better again n the next one, it happens to the best, what you said concerning defra, you could have said something to the defra Minister mark spencer in the last video, your point's are very valid, and the issues they make for uk farmer's should rightly be addressed, after all british farmers grow good food for the uk, and standards are high unlike many import's,.
I did challenge him on 2 points but because I was speaking, couldn’t record it! He was MC of a dinner I was speaking at so got to know him fairly well.

Cracking video again Andrew brilliant. I was talking last week to a farmer friend off mine in Warwickshire and he said he’s never seen so much black grass this year in all the years he’s been farming,
We have more this year than for a while but we’ll still get it all pulled or sprayed and go to harvest with the fields clean.
Here in this part of Cornwall, we have only had a few minutes of rain over the last 6 weeks.

Hi Andrew, I may have missed it on another video but how on average per hectare does your blackgrass pulling cost?
It’s so different in every field that an average figure does not show the picture. The least we spend is about £10/ac when there’s only a few to pull, ranging to £120/ac when there’s a lot and we do a field 3 times in 2 weeks to make sure we have got them all.
I’m going to go through all the costs maybe next Sun or the one after.
Roughly how much do rougers charge per hr?
Ours are on £15.83 which sounds a lot but they get more done and do a better job than the ones we used to have who were much cheaper.

Picture is terrible makes your face look dirty and covered in stubble, compaired to your last update that picure was purfect, look to be the contrast is way to high, and burnt out slightly, as i know your video's are always very good quality, so i think there maybe an issue,...(just to let you know.)
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard no worries, we know you will look better again n the next one, it happens to the best, what you said concerning defra, you could have said something to the defra Minister mark spencer in the last video, your point's are very valid, and the issues they make for uk farmer's should rightly be addressed, after all british farmers grow good food for the uk, and standards are high unlike many import's,.
I did challenge him on 2 points but because I was speaking, couldn’t record it! He was MC of a dinner I was speaking at so got to know him fairly well.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard here's hoping it may make a difference, give him something to think about.
Hope tonight’s is better!
