The one thing I like about your content is that its very informative and goes that bit further than other RUclipsrs , keep up the great work you do , thank you very much
Thank you. 😊👍
The weather is key in farming and unfortunately this year it's not playing nicely. Crops are getting ruined and this will reflect in the future price of food. Very informative Andrew and keep your chin up
😊👍
Very interesting. Good luck with the Baked Beans, hope they yield well. Cheers.
😊👍
Just love your style of reporting on farming life as a ex farmer look so forward to the videos weather looks better next week so hopefully harvest can start for you
Thanks Chris. 😊👍
Very good Thanks
Good afternoon Andrew one thing the house luck nice when it's all done coming on well now any way take care see you mid week .
Cheers Robert, we’re chuffed to bits with the house, looking forward to getting in!
Excellent video Thankyou for posting Hoping for better weather for your harvest .
Lovely job with the turf... us mere mortals spin the grass seed on with a fiddle drill 😁
😂😂😂
Weather due to improve and hope you’ll be able to begin harvest. That turf looks great. 🚜🚜
😊👍
A bit of liquid seaweed on that lawn were its showing a bit of stress, would soon perk it up
It’d be interesting to see the impact of the wet weather (2016 & 2023) on yield and quality compared to a more normal year.
The direct drilled field is an interesting one. Would you consider moving or adding another field in to see the effect on heavy versus light land?
Cheers
I don’t have that info, will try to get it from a grain merchant. We already know the light land yields less than the heavy, not sure I’ve got the patience to do it on the heath!
We in the light sandy soils of east beds love wetter yrs drought is the no one enemy , clay land cereals should out perform sandy soil most yrs
Our clay soils always out yield our light heath land.
Great video again Andrew, it is good to see how the beans are looking from the different drill application's. Those figures for the rainfall are nice to see, hopefully we are getting better weather this coming week.
Certainly need it!
Excellent video - I really like your informative content! Thank you, Andrew.
😊😂
Great video andrew, olly can lend you his flex header n claas, , them baked beans look good, the other beans be ready by Christmas with a bit of luck !!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😖
The lawn is coming on really well and look forward to seeing what the garden will look like later on. Also looking forward to seeing the bean harvest with the flexi header on. Are you going to hire one or buy a separate header for keeping?
Russels, (our local NH dealer) have one for demo so we’re using that. 😊👍
Hi Andrew beans look great wider rowspacing is key for the airflow and sunshine suppressing disease and plants are stronger
Definitely helps.
Any chance you would do a full video on how contract farming works and how you charge and how profits and losses work and a is there a contract in writing. Thanks
No problem Mark, I’ll do it when I’m looking for content which might be in the autumn so if I forget please remind me.
The Haricot bean plants are more like a Soya bean or French bean plant as opposed to a broard bean plant.
I think you will be able to get harvesting this week, weather looks like improving.
Excellent update; fascinated by the appearance of the Haricot beans.... Looking similar to runner beans.... I wonder if they would be as tasty.... Almost impossible to grow runners in my garden in Spain(too much sun... sorry😅) ; maybe l should try a few next year.
Good luck Andrew with your harvest.
Thank you, send some of that thing called ‘sun’ here please!😂😂
Lol all the trouble to make sure new grass is laid nicely and dogs go out and bury there bones in middle of it.
Yes weather certainly causing havoc with cereal harvest but the knock on effect for next couple of years is always a factor to be taken into account
The dogs will have a job to bury anything through this turf, they l’ll have to have a jig saw with them to cut through the plastic mat under the sand!!! I agree re damage for next crop.
Watching your video Andrew . Last week i comented on your use of your tele handler to push up OSR in your shed , and i said wouldnt it be better using an augur/ conveyer to do this. You replied about costs etc . Imagine my surprise to see you using a new looking elevator to do the job in this video .
😂😂 New?! It’s 30 years old and belongs to one of the farmers we contract farm. We have always borrowed it just for filling over the concrete panels in the doorway.
Weed controĺ in the baked beans ?
Black oat companion crop seed return, might it cause problems ?
Lawn is looking good. Nearly big enough for a football pitch !
Yes to the first question. Not sure to the 2nd! No football either, maybe croquet!
Great video again Andrew,was down your way house hunting this week between lincoln and spalding, saw a lot of lodged wheat 😢
We don’t have hardly any lodged wheat……yet!! It was all drilled quite late so not at the susceptible stage and I don’t think we’ve had the heavy storms and high winds.
Andrew, you & Ollie did a good job on the BBC this morning, you both kept it 'simple' for 'Jo' (gender neutral!) public. On a brighter note, the forecast is better for end of the week, so combines should be rolling. I guess you can't desicate all that green growth in the malting barley, cos it won't germinate for the brewers?
Thanks Tim. Olly was very good, it’s good the BBC have so much air time to the feature. 👍 to the weather!
Why is there darker green bits in the turf? Have they had more fertiliser or is it the way the grass has been layed down?
They are the inside of the roll, where the plastic tube is, where the light was still getting in.
1001 mm here on Cornwall. Hay not made 2nd cut still in field things are going from bad to worse. Store cattle dropped £200/hd don't know where we are gonna be soon.
Not good all round. 🤦♂️😖
Very interesting trails with the beans. Amazing how all timings, weather, rainfall, drilling conditions make such an impact to the crop. Will you be spraying off the spring barley before harvest?
It needs it but it’s malting barley so can’t.
great update do you know when you be moving in new house grass is amazing
Not sure, sometime after harvest I should think.
Seems very similar to soya
Would a shelbourne header be better Andrew?
Maybe but more different to find.
Hi Andrew how manys kgs of N/ha do you have on the wheat after beans?
We do soil nitrogen tests in Jan/Feb and then apply according to yield potential and soil available N. It really does vary widely but sometimes it’s not as much less than other crops as you think because the Turkic potential is greater after brand so needs more to fulfil that potential. Despite the above I’d start off at 40kg less!
Get some 20-10-10 on and some liquid iron, that’ll recover in a week 👌
Hopefully now its rolled out it’ll be ok.
Another great vid .Just wondering if it would be cost effective to grow the beans under biodegradable plastic.? Surely would take a lot of risk away.keep up the good work.from herefordshire
Maybe but then it would need removing to harvest them.
Have those haricot beans had any sulphur?
Yes, with last fungicide. Getting some more with the next one.
Great video Andrew, what rain guage do you use to collect your data? Thinking of getting one. Thanks
We have 3. Sencrop have given us one as I help to promote them, it’s on one of the contract farms and Agrii have put 2 up, one at the heath where Rhonda and I currently live and another at the main farm, the Glebe. If I was buying one it would be the Sencrop because you can also open them up to other Sencrop users around the county for free.
Would a stripper header be better for your haricot beans Andrew
Maybe but a lot harder to find, I’ve already got a Macdon lined up.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard that's answered my question, I thought you might have trouble hireing a macdon as there probably aren't many in this country.
I’ve got one from our local NH dealer. Hopefully!!
Is that ragwort growing in some of the margins?
I hope not, will go and look.
Right at the start I thought I could see a yellow flower and I think when you looked at the Oats on your trial field
I’ll look tomorrow!
Tidy job on that lawn. Will look like it’s been there forever in a few weeks
How come one of the biggest and best known arable farmers in the whole of Lincolnshire is laying grass like people do in postage stamp gardens in town? Expected you to show us the seed and a few weeks later show us the lawn!!!😂😂
I’ve bypassed the system, by 13 weeks!!! 😂😂
Why don't you just sow some grass seeds if you want a lawn?
Many reasons. This hybrid turf is better than mates rates, it’s instant, the matting and sand will help massively to suppress weeds and lastly, if the grass is good enough for many premier league footy clubs and national stadiums, that’ll do for me.
first comment dibs?
😂😊👍
What happened to 2013?
20 mins 40 secs, just before going through the figures, I explain.
SORRY I have bean found out skipping that will teach me , now i shall never no as to lazy to look it up cheers keep a trashing BA`H@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard
