      Douglas Green which bit of “CO2 being over 400ppm for the first time in millions of years” do you find difficult to understand? Or is it the bit about massive climate changes happening every time CO2 rose over 325ppm between ice ages (ice ages of course happened every time CO2 fell much lower than 275ppm)? Too complicated for you?

    We all clapped tonight for our NHS workers and rightfully so but let's not forget our farmers and all they go through to put food on our plate. They are hard hit at the moment. Please support your local farm shops and suppliers. Especially the dairies. Our local dairy has a milk drive through. Before last week they were tipping their milk down the drain until a FB plea. Now they are running out as people are queuing for their drive through milk!! Awesome just awesome. Way to go Britain!

    Can't believe how quiet that tractor cab is Harry. My memories of dragging cambridge rollers around as a kid was that it was deafening!

      I used to have an old Zetor and the exhaust had snapped off so I used the exhaust silencer off my Honda CBR 600 which I had knocking around after I had fitted an aftermarket exhaust to it, made an interesting sound but I did use ear protection as I did when on the tractor mower because after six or seven hours you could really notice the effect on your hearing.

    • @IanHaywardCalvados
      @IanHaywardCalvados 4 года назад +2

      I call my exhaust a streamlined racing mod, as it lies back at about 45°. (Truth is, I had an argument with a low branch whilst too busy looking out the back!) There are lots of old tractors still chugging around the lanes here in Normandy. I'm quite popular with French friends for sourcing parts in the UK - always, always significantly cheaper than the same bits here. But the wine, cider and calvados - now that's where the local market scores!

    Harry I've worked on fairly large scale grain farms in Western Canada and I'll be doing the same this growing season do to losing my job in oil/gas (cover 19 price collapse). GPS navigation/plotting and auto-steer is used extensively over here to prevent overlap/waste and reduce operator fatigue. I think using gps could be very advantageous for your tamping, not to mention herbicide application.

      That is why American farmers still think and hopeTrump is for them. They are hurting from the tariffs, but most of them can take a bad year or two if their markets got better in the long run. Some can't of course and some will go bankrupt, but farmers are used to good and bad years and they can take it. It seems to be a business with a 5-7 year long horizon. Problem will probably be if the next few years keep being lean years, but by then, if the farmers go belly up, it does not matter if it was Trump or Brexit or the demand during corona crashing. They have a long view and if they are gone, they are gone. That is my limited view and understanding of the farming business, but basically they have had bad years before and budget and plan accordingly.

      @@harrysfarmvids I bet farming is like that in most of Western Europe. But it would be very interesting if you talked about the long term economics of farming. Tell us how farmers deal with a bad year and how long a horizon is for a farm economically. Because in most businesses, huge investments in hardware and bad years equals bankrupcy. But farmers seem to have planned for that more than most other businesses. When does it economically seriously hurt a farmer and what constitutes "good years".

      B. Lo It’s bloody hard work. Watch the Yorkshire Shepherdess. Day starts at 04:30ish and doesn’t finish till nearly 23.00 and that’s 7 days a week 365days a year, and she’s got 9 kids to manage as well, oh and I nearly forgot a great tea rooms for people linking through North Yorkshire. She and the rest of her Owen family work exceptionally hard in all weathers, including Christmas Day!!!

    Love your videos Harry. Just realised. I think I repaired your boiler when it was newly installed in about 2006. I work for the manufacturer. Sound right?
