    A lot of guy that have been farming for many years find it hard to change. I love how the Ginge has so much wisdom and experience but he is always open to new ideas and technology that grow the farm and make it better.

    Just incredible. Google Maps can’t even keep up to the farm growth. They have some skilled workers too. The guys backing up the forage wagons. Brilliant. What a facility. No doubt you’re both inspired fro going there. I wasn’t even there, and I’m feeling inspired. Thanks for bringing us along Tom.

    Impressive.Finnegans farm in Ireland is similar size,not as many industries.They have potatoes,sprouts,hay ,silage,large workshops ,one of the best I've seen,food factory.Worth a look.They operate about 30 tractors plus all the usual farm machinery.

    I deliver to truck technics several times a day and I always thought Tom Pemberton would love this place. I am glad now I have seen the whole place and I always wondered what the cranes were doing, now I know. Thank you Metcalfe Farm's for showing us around.

    Thanks for the video Tom. WoW a farm with its own quarry, and all the rest is crazy big. So many tractors, trucks, and machine shops. Oh my!! I learned a cool cow is a happy cow and the methane digester thing makes electricity as well is mad cool .

    I absolutely loved this video, thanks to you and to Metcalfe and to Steve (what an incredible asset to the operation at Metcalfe).
    The knowledge that Steve had of the operations was astounding, you couldn't have asked for a better representative to take you round. I was in complete awe as to how they utilize the land (3200 acres I thought he said) and how diverse it is as a whole. Wonderful job! he was a complete charmer ❤

    Wow! What a great vlog thanks Tom. I could be there every day for a year and I'd still find new things to impress me. The size of that clamp, 70 litres output a day per cow (give or take), the skill of the chopper and trailer operators, the wagons..... Fantastic! Thanks to Penny for organising it too. Stay well all 👌🏻

  • @davidepool5884
    @davidepool5884 Год назад +3

    That’s a massive operation. They have their hands into so many different things and it all seems to work so well. So much equipment, and cattle. I would imagine that their operation is worth millions. It was a very interesting tour, I enjoyed it very much.

    Thanks Tom for the mini tour, I had heard of Metcalves and knew it was a big operation but had no idea it was a massive operation with so many sub businesses involved and on site., Great way to end with tractor driver following the forager in reverse.

  • @janetmaher1116
    @janetmaher1116 Год назад

    Diversification can be the key to survival and success, but the level demonstrated here, on a literal industrial scale, is mind boggling. Looks like a fantastic operation, the cows are rockstars, and the skill level of the equipment operators…just wow!
    I often lead with a disclaimer that “reverse is not my best gear,” yet Metcalfe have a driver racing around an obstacle course of a field in reverse while chasing the chopper and another one also reversing in to replace them…I stand humbled!! 😂

    Wow , that is massssivvveee. I watched an American dairy unit that just filled artic tanks rather than a bulk tank. Did not know that happened here.
    Not sure I like the 37% heffers, sounds like it is hard on the cows. But I am no expert.
    Great to see your Sister Penny and family 😊

    • @lesleyboeder1798

    That's an immensely huge set up with all those small industries combining into basically one. When I see the heavy lift trucks on the motorway I've always thought oh that was a family farm that's closed down and diversified into a heavy haulage outfit.

To see healthy animals producing a wonderful nutritious product is fantastic. In my view, Metcalf Farms should be applaud for their business practices 👍👏and its something to aspire to be for smaller farms too. 👏 All the best Pemberton Family. 😊

    Wow one of your best videos Tom obviously Metcalfs are big in the haulage industry, assume you were referring to their MOD Movement business/ contract as they are the main hauliers for the MOD VEHICLE MOVEMENT. To being able to see or discuss everything Tom.
    I assume they fetch their novapro from YELO enterprise near Stratford upon Avon, we haul loads out of there for k w alternative feeds to our depot to put in mixes for their customers around Staffordshire, Cheshire,Shropshire etc.
    We also produce sodawheat for them.
    Never knew their farm was that big at all. Very interesting and mind blowing all in one. Thanks for the video. Mammoet main UK site is down the road from our depot in hixon on the airfield.

Through the gate, around edge trees, corners & the next cart backing down to take his place!😂
