You deserve ten times the number of subs you have, Adrian - Come on youtube, help this guy out, spread these excellent videos of a hard working farmer around those who've never watched anything like this.
Thanks mate, appreciate it
Where about is this property please?
For a one man operation Adrian there sure is a lot going on to build on/improve the farm. All this on top of the normal running of the farm business and of course the time to keep us all updated which is always appreciated. Thank you
Cheers lad I appreciate that 👍
Great job, you’ll not know that ground when it gets to spring and then a summer of drying on it also. Love to see reclaiming and improving of land like that. Super
Huge improvement. You found a very good operator for this job. Thank you for sharing.
Looking good and gaining an extra half to 1 acre of land that can be more productive is definitely a good thing
Every little bit helps 👍
Pure artistry on those machines. It's a long time (45 years) since I last drove a tractor and I was never anywhere near as slick as you. It's a joy to watch. *respect*
I am glad you left the tree line in place. Our neighbour took out the fence lines on the big hill we are on and the bottom of the field turned into a pond leaving it too wet. It will be good to have more arable land. 👍👍😁
I have just found your channel. I live in Bangor Northern Ireland. I watch a lot of USA farm channels and am delighted to find a local one. I am delighted to see the work you are doing on the derelict gate house. Great work!🎉
Getting more workable ground is always good for the farm. Good video Adrian.
Have a great day!
Definitely, bit by bit
This could be the title of my Autobiography 🤣. Great work Adrian!
Cheers Cammy 👍
I just found your channel today! Hello from Indiana, USA!
Great job you are doing on the pasture. I love doing this kind of work. It takes long but the final result is just a pleasure to see.
I'm sure you'll make a great job of it Adrian, great to see land being reclaimed and made productive, looking forward to seeing the next episode to see what you've done round the cottage.
Your title is so correct, poor to decent, you don't over egg the work, but over time all will be good, or decent and the farm will improve.
Great to see you constantly doing things to improve your farm Adrian. I love to see that,as they say you Reep what you Sow. 👍
Best of luck with it.
I would suggest opening a big drain for the water to flow into,or clean the one that's there,if there is one. 😉
You have a good start rehabbing the field. It should be lush this time next year. KUDOS.
i hope there is no erosion problems in the future on the treeline
Really enjoyed video Adrian 👍
tell you what love these videos ..i miss that lifestyle now being living in NY for 20+ years .. takes me back to my teen years trying to earn a few pound with the local farmers just to get to the disco at the weekend
Great job, well done 👍
Fantastic videos! You have done a lot of work to improve and update your farm. Love watching
Time to scatter some cheap n cheerful grass seed on that by hand the old fashioned way. Your daughter might not sink in as much as you. Get her started in the old traditional ways.
Great stuff as always 👏 👍
Your farm is looking better. A lot of hard work is so paying off
30 years ago I could drive a digger. My dad couldn't.
I bought 10 acres abandoned land.
Only 3 acres usable.
I spent a summer , digging and tiling.
And bonfire on 11th. That's still talked about.
I have nice 10 acres filed with barley and wheat.
Great job, Adrian very wet now lot of rain 🌧 falling, be nice when grass grows on it , talk soon, kieran from Laghey donegal town
Like how your allways trying to improve things and keeping everything tidy👍top job
Absolutely beautiful..thank you for sharing ur world with me ..I'm from Nebraska in the USA
Great work lands to valuable to leave Un worked theses days. The good thing about doing some of the work now and leaving until spring is you might find a few other drainage problems throughout the winter. When there is more rain drains might boil up and you can mark them with a post or something for spring time and fix when it’s dry in the spring time.
Very true, hopefully it will firm up over the winter 🤞
@@IFarmWeFarm yeah will give the ground a chance to firm up. We have a few jobs like that to do here as well.
Great video and great work fair play to yourself and gerry .. he a good man on the digger its a shame bout the weather that its so wet but that's ireland for ya 😉 👍👍
Great video! I have enjoyed watching your channel. I have now watched them all. I am watching from Idaho in the USA. Just watched this episode and ready for the next!!
Thanks Gail, appreciate that greatly
You don't do things by half that's for sure Adrian, we done a similar thing with a field that had a great trench up the middle of it, many years ago, what a difference it made to the field, any way well done Adrian, enjoyed the video can't wait to see it in the spring, and looking forward to seeing the bungalow, good luck to you and all the family
Great video and work done. Great view around the mountains. I was at a first cousin furniture in co clare 4 Oct. They had Great views around them in his part clare.
A good man on the meachine make all the driffrence, he can make her sing 🎶 😀
We can all tell that dump trailer is not yours Adrian 🤣🤪👍👍
Brilliant video Adrian, a sure you can see field properly now, and no doubt it will be green and dry this time next year.
A good digger man is everything for a job like that Adrian - Gerry is one of the best
Adrianne you really have a tough job ahead. Will be nice to see the results
Thanks for sharing your vid’s with us!
Hi Adrian. If you can get a outlet don't be feared of going deep with your drains. The deeper you can go on ground the more likely you will catch more springs coming from the higher ground. Alot of people make that mistake to save on stone and digging out. I done abit at home deep to catch springs. Costly but well worth made the hill bone dry now.
Yes a deep drain, piped and filled with clean 2” stone usually works well on jobs like that 👍
Great content
He is a handy man I’ll tell u that
Great job. Eu should be encouraging more of this not all crap they go on with
He's some fella for driving the digger 💪
I am chomping at the bit for the next video.
Love it , no more shucks
Adrian, I’m just wondering about the safety of those trees above the bank that you’ve had dug away… are they going to have secure footing in the event of rain and wind erosion?
They should be ok, that bank wasn’t actually supporting them and a lot of the larger trees had falling over the years. We left a portion of ground to keep them secure hopefully. I also sowed grass seed on the bankment which will be fenced off so cattle can’t disturb it. Hard to explain but I’ll show it in the spring
Adrian, I am always fascinated to see what farmers do to manipulate their ground to see a better more usable property. Awesome 👍. Can't wait to see the end result. Cheers!
Cheers Jim
track machine driver is a doing a nice tidy job,nice video
Thanks Adrian great video really enjoyed it 👍
Looking forward to seeing more 👍
Thanks for the video Adrian. Was 32 degrees here today up on the Atherton Tablelands, Queensland,Australia
You guys would be entering summer now, Would that be right?
@@IFarmWeFarm well and truly Adrian. Been a bit dry last couple months but last Thursday we got 75 ml in a thunderstorm. We will be going into our wet ( monsoon) season shortly
That’s a serious job done there lad 👍🏻 great digger driver
Great video,thank you 👍
Looks like your getting cracked on with the projects this autumn/winter 👍. There’s nout worse than when clay gets wet after you’ve moved it.
Delightful! Can't wait for spring! #PopcornMoment
Love his accent !
Great video can't wait to see some more on this
Great video Adrian
If only things was that easy at the click of the finger's, in time you will get it done.
Fair play with the videos. Enjoy very week . here since well before 10k . fair play also big jump in subs in last little while not far to go to 70k.
Love watching digger's at work Adrian , keep the video's coming .
Great video Adrian good job
Will be a good job when it dries up, your doing some work for a one man show. Keep it up
Great video Adrian, tidy job
Good video Adrian 👍👍👍👍
Great😊
Adrian: Could you make a pond of the wetland and use the fill to raise your property near the new pond? We do this often in Florida. I can see that your soil is so different; we have sand and clay hardpan to deal with here.
There would be fare to much soakage in the spot for a pond to every fork Georgia . I do watch guys that in the US building ponds on there land, our ground would be very different here. It’s a good idea though
I'll look forward to see that done 🤠🤠
Well done Adrian, nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment when reclaiming land. One thing I would bare in mind and it may affect alot of us farmers that have reclaimed land over this last 70 years, but if the EU goes ahead with this bio diversity 2030 Bill, it will be set in law that any land reclaimed this last 70 years must be rewetted back to bog. Somehow I don't think enough farmers know about this and sadly it will devestate rural Ireland, hopefully the political parties in Ireland see sense and vote against the greens and vote no to this bill for Ireland.
Yes I seen that, I will be interesting to see how that will go. I think a lot of things will change before then
Great video as always
Great job that , can’t wait for the next phase in the spring . You see where all the rushes are. We bought a field like that and heavily drained it and reseeded and you wouldn’t believe the grass that’s growing on it . Do you plan to do the whole lot some time
No we don’t have plans to touch the rest of the bog Jimmy, that might change down the line though
Great video Adrian as always 👌👌
Once you have a standalone machinery shed would you ever consider a 6-10 tonne excavator, I own a 6 tonne on my small farm and I would consider it as important as my tractor
I think every lad would love to own an excavator one day Paddy, so ya maybe something small. But at the end of the day it’s not just about owning one it’s knowing how to approach jobs, not as easy as some imagine. I take my hat of to lads like Gerry here cause he knows exactly what to do as soon as he looks at a job. I wouldn’t know where to start
@@IFarmWeFarm you have a good point, having one isn’t enough, I spend a fair lump of time and fuel learning how grade and slope ground, and how to dig effective drains. A good portion of my land is boggy soft and you won’t travel it from mid October to early April, I could dig drains for the rest of my days whilst up in Cavan you tend to have wet areas, not entire feilds and it probably wouldn’t make sense as an investment
@@IFarmWeFarm dead right Adrian its hard to beat experience Gerry has it in bucketfuls 😉
Fifteen metres of topsoil in Lincolnshire, you're lucky if you get a foot in London. I didn't let that stop me getting some decent Potatoes out of it this year, the tomatoes really did not like the forty degree C temperatures. And Now it's been pouring for the last three days, it seems it was but a dream.
Incidentally, do you have to ask for permission to carry out those sorts of works. If you tried doing it in the South East of England you'd have half a dozen pencil necks sat on your shoulder telling you what to do, and probably an encampment of green protesters in your backyard.
No permission needed for this scale of work as it’s already agricultural ground and no hedgerows are being disturbed. Fifteen metres of top soil is incredible!
@@IFarmWeFarm If you ever wondered where all those frozen peas come from, it's more of a science really, they look like accountants in wellington boots and flat Norfolk noses, a no nonsense people and no pun either.
Really satisfying reclaiming bits of ground and improving parts of the farm in a progressive manner.
I have done several such areas snd really get a kick outta seeing cows happily grazing such area’s
I actually feel quite sad when decent ground is planted to trees that will take decades and decades to come to fruition and look a complete eyesore during that time.
Great video
Comment for the algorithm to help the channel 👍👍👍.
Thank you, appreciate the support
How many times did the NH have to pull the Ferguson about?? 😂😂😂
That would never happy 😁
Good job🤠
Ya should get onto you tube about that finger snap malfunction 🤣
I did actually, they reckon a software update will sort it 😜
Adrian, you’ll need to upgrade your RUclips thumb and middle finger trick to the new AGRI 2023 thumb and middle finger. Get a JD one though as the MF one you have to click 3 times before it works (apparently)
Apparently I have to plug it into something to update its software 😜
Turning chicken shit into chicken soup, good man!
What part of Ireland is this Adrian.??
That man Gerry is a Master at what he does, not unlike yourself Adrian .GHTYAY
wont those big trees fall down?
I'm always amazed watching digger drivers at work. The amount of finnesse they have
Gerry is well known in these parts, master of that machine he is
I’m new to your channel, only just this morning, 10/26/22. Please, I have one request, when you’re filming please don’t swing the camera 🎥 around, it gets me dizzy. If you go much slower if you do scan the area it gives the camera/eye a chance to see what you’re looking at. The camera is never as good as our eyes seeing it in person. Thank you.
I really enjoy getting to see your farm. The first videos I saw were the ones about the cabin, I followed the thumbnail. Looking forward to seeing your progress on that. Thanks again, from Upstate New York (no New York State is not all city) I live in a small village near mostly farmland.
I will improve on that one, I was using a GoPro 10 in this one as it fairly though and resilient in that environment. Down side is the movements are very sharp. Thanks for the feedback, it all helps to try and improve things Donna 👍
@@IFarmWeFarm thanks for listening. 👍🏻
Jerry needs a blade on his excavator or maybe a bulldozer?
I just wonder, most farmers have an urge to keep their fields neat and tidy, weed free, nice looking with leafy grass for good feeding. Maybe it's our fascination with symmetry. But I wonder do we need to get to grips with untidiness and let things go away on there own. Not saying removing an undrivable hill is the same, but clipping back bushes too much,removing briars etc maybe we need to change that. I don't know, difficult to get ones head around.
It’s not so much the tidiness of the land it’s more for production purposes. For me that is grass, it’s the cheapest most natural food cattle can eat so the more good quality grass we can grow the better. With the way farming is going and all the extra input costs involved we really have to make the very best of what we have. Hope that’s makes some sense, it’s a simplistic version of a complexed industry
@@IFarmWeFarm 100% agree , but you know there's a growing element that uses the climate change debate to further their own ideology of plant based will save the world I.e. they don't like animals in the food chain. I heard Paul Murphy TD on the radio saying "factory farms' are ruining irelands environment. Yet to see one of those. Anyways keep it going as best we can.
@@IFarmWeFarm BTW as you have 2 blocks of land, did you ever think of zero grazing one of them.
You want to see tidy farms visit Denmark ! No black plastic caught on fences , no heaps of rusting machinery or equipment ,they put Scottish farms to shame .
How do u manage rushes cutting drainage spraying ?
Drainage would be the best place to start lad, spraying helps but doesn’t cure the problem. Then a turn of the plough should store them. There usually cause by wet shallow ground
@@IFarmWeFarm turn of the plough? I’ve noticed the field where I sow the wild bird cover , which is till every year very few rushes remain , so was thinking of getting a rotavator and ripping the areas of heavy rush after cutting them
Looks like you could just create a man made pond as it looks like a mighty low spot on camera. Do you not worry about landslides there? Exposing that embankment the way you did it's now open to erosion and the whole hill could shift down. The tree roots may help keep it in place for a while... I'm from central California; our ground is shifting and sliding around all the time. Hope it dries up well for you.
We don’t really get that type of erosion here in Ireland, but what I did do was to sow some grass seed on it as once it roots in it will protect it. Thanks for tuning in all the way from California, it always great to see and hear our videos make it that fare 👍
I really love your videos keep it up!by the way I’m only 12 years old
Regarding your Mic Adrian, I’ve never had a problem with your audio except when you’ve been working on a really windy day etc.
Till be a great job when it’s reseeded
Are you going to have forestry on the other side of the fence?
Don’t think anything would grow on that, would it not be to wet for trees 🤔
@@IFarmWeFarm
Wet land is ideal for coniferous trees.
Well
If the Irish had Holland they'd starve, if Holland had Ireland they'd feed Europe, if Adrian had Holland he'd feed the world but sure then the Irish farmers would starve, all bar, well only Adrian.
BTW water springs up too - now that would be real Irish weather; a weather forecaster I am now!
Would not put big stones on top stop it sliping
theres men that can drive diggers and theres digger men,that man is a digger man,nice to watch 👌
Hi
