The Environment Agency are totally unbelievable. They are inspecting farms and closing them down, yet they are the worst polluters and do no maintenance whatsoever.
Agree, a total shambles.
I must be getting old, actually 55 years old. When just old enough to work the lever I rode on the back of a Brenton trailed corn drill about seven feet wide with dad pulling it on an MF135. Lifting it up and dropping it down was great fun, we could drill several acres a day and used a few pints of diesel. 50 years later the machinery is so complicated, big, heavy and expensive its unbelievable. Keep up the good work . ☺😎
Great story, 👌👍😊
Great update, some lovely machinery on show, interesting description of drill, lack of maintenance to rivers ect is so frustrating, keep up the good work. 👍
I know you are a big fan of the NFU but when one farmer gets put in prison for doing drainage work and other farmers get their land flooded when they do nothing because they are not allowed to, is it not time for the NFU to sue the Environmental agency like they sue farmers.
Often thought the same. Fair enough for a rare short incident but over such a long time period I would have expected words such as criminal damage due to negligence / incompetence etc
I call the nfu out regularly when they don’t do what I think they should. Don’t forget, with Rhonda being Lincs County Advisor, I see a lot of what goes on in the back ground which many don’t see. It’s not as easy as you might think because of how the EA is set up But I agree 100% with you. I can’t comment further at this stage.
@timgalley4391 see my comment in reply to the original post please.
This winters water has eroded the ground around many flood release valves and i cannot see the EA ever getting ontop of the maintainance work. EA just arent fit for purpose any more.
A great update Andrew, was very impressed with the amazon drill. I just can't believe that the EA has not got the right clay to fill that breach in the river bank. Keep up the pressure to make the accountable for the poor river up keep, will agree if the land can't be farmed then we all suffer with shortage of food.
I know, 6 months and they don’t know what clay they want. 😡
Impressive farming, as for the rivers no surprise, and it comes down to zero maintenance
E A should pay compensation to farmers for land flooding Lot of land around me still not travelable for working to dry then out or pan busting. Ollie did wise move buying the Quadtrack Only tracked machines able to travel without making a mess
Quads are good, that’s why we’ve had 3 in the last 24 years but they are so good, you can go on land you maybe shouldn’t be on ………….😊
Great update
great update andrew
Loved the video interesting when Josh simple screen for the Amazon drill it was double Dutch to me 😂
😂😂
Cracking update again Andrew. Glad to see your managing to get some field work done and get your beet in the ground. When oh when will the EA get the message and sort these river banks out? Trouble is I feel they will sacrifice the farm land to protect the houses they keep building.
I know, they’re horrendous.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard I’m susprised you’re staying as calm as you are really 🤔
I know a lot at the EA watch and read on here! I know they don’t like me highlighting their bad practices but I have lots of farmers contacting me now so I’m going to feature as many as is practicable. Defra and RPA staff also watch which is great.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard ideal then, they’ll have to do something in the end, keep up the good work.
👍😊
Doesnt seem 5 minutes ago since the drilling beet video last year👍👍
That’s what I thought!
Seems like the EA don't know how to keep a track of their responsibilities let alone work to repair their mismanagement. Something needs to be done, like statutory requirements to maintain rivers to minimum standard. If not to repair existing failures within a set time or face fines.
Totally agree.
The Dutch have power harrows setup for wet soils.
May be but don’t think the Dutch have soils with a combined silt and clay content of 80%
HI Andrew, always enjoy watching your videos. I was a little alarmed last Sunday watching your video when you showed your Cruiser dressed seed as blue as I had been drilling all day here with Cruiser seed which is red. My BS fieldsman assured me that all Cruiser seed this year is red? Just checking 🤔
Not according to the contractor who drilled ours. I spoke to him today and he’s drilled blue, orange and pink, all Cruiser Force! The orange/Pink I put up in the video was definitely not cruiser because KWS told me they couldn’t get cruiser on trial varieties.
Hello Thomas, the problem doesn’t help me being colour blind on blue/green and pink/orange!! I’m away at the minute, I’ll look when I get back, just spoke to Tom back at the farm and he says you’re right! I’ll correct it when I do an update on germination in a weeks time.
It looks like there's steel piling in the breach. Was this a repair after badger damage?
Not too sure.
Hi Andy, is the power harrow similar to the old rotavators.? I`m fascinated with all this new generation equipment. Do you find it mostly reliable.?
They are totally different. A rotavator goes round like a car wheel and has.blades so chops the soil and material, a power harrow has tines, rotating like a spinning top so smashes the soil.
I know where the EA money goes:
They’ll invite you to a meeting, asking for the excuse why you cannot come to it, if you don’t reply that you will.
When you get there, you’ll find the staff haven’t been out of University, let alone left School more than 5 years ago and that they all believe they know everything there is to know about rain/drainage water management.
Then they’ll blame the farmers for the polluted water that is in fact industrial effluent. Or even from another Government Organisation such as a Fire Service College.
However, you’ll soon forget all that, because the biscuits they’ll serve with your tea/coffee will be the best quality you will have ever tasted!
😂😂 Personal experience?!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard Yup!
What I couldn’t understand was that they showed us a map of the Upper River Evenlode and said that there was high concentration Phosphate coming from an area of our farm. We hadn’t put any phosphate on that land for 10 years!
It turned out that it was the fire suppression chemical the Fire Service College used.
I received no apologies. But those biscuits were very nice!
@Rickwardful 😡😡😡😡😡

❤.hi.andrew.how.are.you.are.are.you.going.to.the.great.yorkshire.show.this.year.mate.
I don’t know yet Craig. I might be away!
Its.nice.to.see.you.doing.a.bit.of.land.worck.at.last.the.rain.has.been.a.reall.pain.
I’m impressed with the drill trailed verison, 18 rows that’s some beet, well thought out tyres on drill/tractor, sorry for flood damage fields/farming land & farmer trying to make his live hood, great blog,
Very interesting video again some fantastic equipment keep up the great videos Kind Regards Jim
If a farmers slurry store fails and floods the surrounding land the gets prosecuted. River bank fails and it of no concern. EA should be held accountable for river bank failures. If the river gets over topped then it down to the weather if the bank gives way its down to lack of maintenance
I know, it just doesn’t make sense.
Same as the water companies.
They may get a fine but it's is that pay the fine in the form of higher prices.
It's the way all these big corporations are set up, which to my mind is unlawful.
Andrew. Please can you say what basic guidance system you have on your Ranger for pelleting etc
We don’t have one specifically for the Polaris. When we were doing the boundary and wet area mapping recently we took the John Deere receiver and screen off the sprayer and used those.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard Thank you
Great content, at long last some proper drilling videos, nice shiny kit
😊👍
Enjoyed
All that carbon going up in to the atmosphere wardy !🙈
Yes but the extra yield will more than soak it up! Every ton absorbs 850kg from the atmosphere so more yield = more carbon sequestered. 😊👍👌
Absolute nonsense. This climate change scam is the biggest con ever devised by the wef to steal and bankrupt us.
CO2 is 0.04% of the atmosphere if it goes below 0.03 all life will.die. The Romans grew grapes in Northern England, there have been ice ages and warm periods millions of years before fossils fuels were discovered. Why does any scientist that challenges the wef narrative get cancelled? Because the 'Science' won't stand up to scrutiny.
Wake up!
@@nigelgribble8736 Absolutely bang on Nigel really glad someone agrees with me !😄
But what farmers need is more carbon in the soils to enable them to maintain or in severe arable degraded soils reintroduce soil life so that they can continue or even begin to grow nutrient dense food without them having to worry and complain about the extreme climatic conditions that we seem to be getting more of
@@nigelgribble8736 Also Nigel you may benefit if you are a farmer like myself ! From beginning to end to learn about the soil food web research Elaine Ingham and Christine Jones because if you actually did go to Agricultural College they wouldn’t have studied any of their work
@nigelgribble8736 So where’s our food coming from? Everything has to have a balance. I’ve done an 8 year trial of cutting cultivations totally, reducing depth and compared to our full system. On average we get a 1.3 ton / ha yield increase when cultivating properly. What % sand silt & clay are your soils and what do your trials results show you?
