Great update as always Andrew, the hand pickers are doing a fantastic job . I think this is the only way a lot of farmers are going to get on this black grass problem, and when you compare the cost it makes sense doing it this way. Nice to see the tractor hoe doing a good job.
Drainage can be difficult to justify but once done never regretted. We seem to be getting more and more problems with root balls blocking drains.
Ever since you started talking about black grass, I'm seeing black grass everywhere on farms!
It is everywhere this year, apart from here!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard It's great that you can support the local people AND reduce chemical usage.
Good morning Andrew, the mechanical hoe driver was doing a good job, having done a little of it on a smaller hoe in Swedes I know it takes a lot of concentration to stay in the row. Just shows how effective the hand rouging is with your pile of wild oats and black grass in the woods.
I wonder if the pickers knew what they were charging you per hour...? You forgot to budget in all the ice creams you buy them 😉 They earn every ice cream doing that job...👍
😂😂😂
They definitely do.
Great video, nice to see you supplying a welfare unit.
👍😊
Good morning Andrew. Interesting watching the 18 row cultivator and precision driving. I spent many hours in my early teens cultivating cauliflowers with an Alis Chalmers model B and a mid. mounted toolbar. In later years a modified David Brown 780 with mid. mounted toolbar. We cultivated 2/3rds of the joining row each time so actually overlapping in the middle of the row but more margin for error in the joining row. What I am trying to say is we would do 17 rows and 2 halves and drive in the same track as the drill/planter tractor.
👌😊
Can you remember when we used to gap and single sugar beet they were the days eh 😂😂😂 Colin.
and pull by hand and chop tops of throw into heaps pick up with beat fork on to trailer than hand load onto lorry DAD only grew it as a break crop mainly after brussel spouts funny enough don`t miss the job ,lot better when we got a harvester , i used to hoe 6 rows with or DB TOOL BAR Tractor
Those were the days!
Great update! Busy week and a hot one to follow… great to see you’re beating blackgrass!
A lot of effort and attention to detail but it can be done.
Another fascinating update. Your campaign against black grass looks to be the way to go.
It’s not for everyone because it takes some managing and attention to detail is high but it gives the best results.
GPS is really useful for spraying the bare patches. It certainly beats knapsack spraying
👌😊
That late spring ...crop need to be ploughed to get the land dry out and get the drity down.😊
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😂
Enjoyed the video ✔️Almost 16k subscribers!
Needs a 1 in front!
Family walk on sunday around Ampleforth college area ( no the children dont go!!!!) Some of the winter crops are infested with wild oats and broam, you can really see the crops look stunted! Top effort Andrew!!
When you see crops like you saw and then clean ones like ours, it shows why clean ones yield so much more.
Thanks Andrew, another great update. You have presented your black grass control really well. I know you have shown this for a number of years. You mentioned how each farm has a different approach, I see it around the area where I live. There is a farm where I go pigeon shooting and I have noticed the amount of black grass is getting worse. Does the change in farming methods have a big impact, I know there is less ploughing done and more use of minimum tillage or no tillage. The clip you showed about the edge of the field having a clean line of crop, clear area and cover. This shows how good farming and land management practices benefits wildlife, something that more people should be made aware of. Anyway, thanks again.
😊👍
Great video. Just had a few days on a ford 5610 with a 6 row Webb front mounted hoe - hard not to lose concentration when doing that for hours on end. Got to love the word “wizzened “ Young uns seem to have no idea what that means!
Lots of words like that need using!
Nice video as always Andrew nice to see what been up two I am on here all the time anyway see you mid week keep up the good work.
👍😊
Sugar beet hoeing, spent my apprenticeship on a 275 MF with a 6 row hoe.
I feel sure is was mid mounted but can’t quite remember.
But I do remember my boss giving me a hand hoe after my first day in the field and telling me to go back and chop out the weeds I missed 😂
I learnt 2 things during that job
How to drive straight
And to get my arse off the tractor seat
A lot of hoes were mid mounted to give better vision, usually six row which did not fold up. Done plenty of hand hoeing myself as well.
😂😂
I use to rouge crop direct to farmer's and was paid well as a young fella then when agency's took over they where charging us out at twice what we were paid for sitting in a office so I started my own crew and paid ataff better and charged enough to cover cost of tax etc. Alway put a bbq on once a month, fri beer's, turn up randomly with pies & ice creams when could as I worked as well running the machinery side. Made sure they were appropriated coz it can be a crap job some days. Was about 20c a hr profit for company. Covid killed it due to the bloody regulations we had to follow cost atupid amounts of paying some prick that had never seen a spud or wheat field. Alot of my staff where classed as unemployable by so many yet they did a awesome job for me coz of the appreciation and have managed to move on to even better jobs. 1 example was a women beaten by her ex husband, had no self esteem or confidence and wouldn't look anyone eye to eye is now running our local fertilizer store, re married and loving live again.
What a fantastic story. A little appreciation goes a long way.
Good video, that spray drift did some damage, crops doing OK in spite of wet year
Sugar beet should jump in growth now soil around them as been moved Amazing how drains show up in a growing crop
Drove past your farm entrance yesterday on way back to Scotland from Norwich. How do you manage to get in and out of the farm on that very busy road? It was a horrendous drive on Friday bumper to bumper
Why was the A17 not a dual carriageway even in some part of it would nake life a lot easier for you all on that road.
Enjoy the videos
Cheers. I’ve lived here all my life so I’m used to the A17! Friday 11am to 6pm is the worst time of the week. The police say it’s the busiest single carriage way A road in the country with more deaths than the same road type for 2 miles either side of our farm. Motorbikes and cars overtaking on the sweeping bends cause most of them.
Great video Andrew
great video
The £/ hours you pay for the pullers I think is not to bad for a clean out crew in the poultry job you can put about £10/ hour on top of that but it does include all kit needed and fuel the first year you decided to spray off all the black grass must have taken some nerve but it has paid off
👍😊
Top job as always
Used to drive tractor side hoe as scuffle as we called it dad sat onto the back steering it
What variety of wheat is showing most potential?
I think the Dawsum looks good.
The farm looks well
The wheats do look well, just a pity about the 500 acres growing nothing.
Morning Andrew another nice update, inter hopeing beet needs a lot keeping in rows as I found out ,when i had ago with only only a five row scerry. Just wondering what would the chemical cost for be instead of the rougeing
It’s difficult to compare but I know some people spend £250/hectare but still have so much left due to resistance. I’ll go into costings a bit deeper when we’ve pulled the spring barleys and beet.
Andrew..excellent content as usual..what are your views on Geo Engineering and the negative effects on Agriculture both in the UK and further afield to counteract the effects of Climate change the reported reason for manipulating weather patterns...? A Hot topic for sure in the coming years..!
Do t know anything about it or what it means.
Basically manipulation of patterns using Aircraft vapour streams..forming blocking sunlight etc....
Weather patterns...
Another interesting video, nice to see your crops to compare with ours down here, have been on my own pulling blackgrass and some Ryegrass all week. More blackgrass than ryegrass this year, have you a crack in your sprayer rear window glass? ( I probably imagined it) 😂
Yes we have!. ☹️
How did that happen🤔
@simonpage8120 I’m not getting any nearer the answer when I ask around!
Do you also allocate a cost to the movement of the welfare trailer and the collection and disposal of the oats and grasses etc?
That goes into a management cost which goes across the farm to every crop.
Hi Andrew, would you mind messaging me the labour agency that you use ? Looks like they have done a brilliant job
The agency is called Barker Ross. Speak to Inara. 07850 750789
Would hedges have been effective in stopping the spray drift?
Possibly but they would have been damaged too.
Andrew,
Do you have the facility to monitor air speed on the sprayer? That’s some damage to the beet.
Only from the weather station on the farm.
Andrew, do you find the weed on your outside margins seeds into your crop ?.
Sometimes but I always insist one of the pullers walks in the gap on the edge of the crop. Brome is the worst.
Would the spray tech system not be good for u an for them to demo ,using cameras on each nozzle to spot spray
It would but there’s not many weeds now.
How did sprayer window get damaged ??
No one seems to know!
Cracked window in the sprayer ?
missed that hawkeye lol;
I noticed that too
@@robertsmith9810 Probably happened in transit to one of the shows. Its been to a few this year, probably done as many miles as Ollys combine did last year !!!!!!
Yes! ☹️
Yes! But don’t know how.
Tractor hoeing, don't sneeze! Or it'll be a wipe out.
An 18 row wipe out!
Has your new sprayer a damaged / cracked window ?
Yes! ☹️
