Harry's Farm update. Stone walls, wild flowers, farm support payments & Dakar motorbikes!

- Latest update from Harry's Farm includes a look at repairing Cotswold stone walls, how the single farm support payment works and how it will change in 2021. Then join me on my Cagiva Elefant 900ie (the bike that won the 1990 Paris-Dakar desert race) as we look round the farm to see the spring wild flowers in the organic pastures coming through and how the crops are doing too.
I live in suburban America and can't keep houseplants alive, so I'm a total loss to explain why I'm utterly enthralled by a RUclips channel about a UK gentleman farmer and his beautiful farm in the Cotswold Hills...but here I am. I've watched every episode with great interest and can't wait for more!
If coronavirus has taught us one thing it's that we need to become as self sufficient as possible.
If we rely on imported produce, as we tend to do with other general items which very often come from China, we can end up in situations where we can end up with all sorts of supply problems and effectively having to pay extortionate prices for food, medical equipment and many other items.
We need to start properly supporting our farmers, engineering companies etc
Who is going to Pick the Crops ?
GrrMeister . He never said anything about banning foreigners, just about being more self sufficient in production. Get off your Brexit high horse.
100% mate. Well said. We should be buying British produce and supporting our wonderful farmers and producers. If we all did it the country will soon get back on its feet.

Our unemployed? Or those held at her majesty's pleasure.
@alanrtment porter
We don't need to teach them anything. They wouldn't listen anyway.
What we need to do is cut all trade with them.
We can grow our own crops.
We can produce enough beef and lamb to feed the nation.
We can provide enough milk.
We have loads of gas and coal.
We can be self sufficient but we chose to rely on imports and now we are paying the price.
Absolutely fascinating. You can make even the most intricate details genuinely interesting because you explain the significance of things. It really is a window on the unseen world. Thank you.
So listenable-to Harry. Lovely 'fireside chat' dialogue and thoroughly interesting. Thank you.
Hear, hear. He’s excellent isn’t he. My favourite. Very informative.
I could listen to Harry talk about anything anytime. He is such a fine gentleman. He is a great example for us all.
Tops 👊
You give more information than sky news and the BBC,
Sky news Australia on RUclips is fantastic...No leftwing activists posing as journalists as on the BBC...
Thats not hard
Way to use a farming video to express anti journalism sentiments .
Uncle Donald is proud of you .
@@horsterer77 Get over yourself
..
An oasis of calm. Thanks for not having any daft music in the background.
Amen to that!
i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Briggs Ezra i watch on FlixZone. Just google for it :)
@@giannilachlan9081 Google this 🖕🏼
I'm a big fan of Harry's Garage, but this is the first Farm one I've watched. For someone who has no interest in farming I found it fascinating all the way through. Harry should be presenting Countryfile as well as Top Gear!
This is the best channel on RUclips. Period.
" It's the best way we can serve the public" Well said Harry!
From a NZ dairy farmer, thankyou Harry. Very good chat and a chance to tour a UK farm. I am now a subscriber.
Is there a better thing to do on a beautiful day?
To ride around your land on a fantastic old Cagiva Elephant.
Your lockdown looks appealing from where I am sat.
I can't be alone feeling that either.
Cheers Harry for lifting my spirits and reminding me what fun it is on two wheels right here in the UK.
Top work sir.
Driving thru the crops in a Cagiva Elefant wearing a Panerai while your Defender sits with the seeds in the trunk. Harry have a blessed life and it's a pleasure that he share his views with us.
Very informative Harry and I like the diversity of content, you are really helping non farmers understand the profession. You have
a interesting mix of land on your farm. Keep the varied content and Thanks for doing this for everyone
Couldn’t agree more. Well said Mark A....
Super mate
Just LOVE the Dakar connection .....
Thanks, means the 'Dakar' bikes get used regularly too!
Watching this is a great escape from lock-down in Connecticut USA. Thanks Harry!
What a superb life you have Harry... countryside, farming, land, cars, bikes etc... and all done in style... Harry our aficionado of farming 👌🏼 Btw, lovely to see the preservation of the dry stone walls as well. Would love to see more on the traditional elements of the farm.
Harry I love your channel.You are a natural broadcaster and presenter. You have a calming relaxing way of explaining things around the farm. I am captivated with every post. Thank you
Glad you like them!
+DaBriars - well put. Also, enthusiasm, great commentary and... no overlaid music! Fantastic!
Great video, Harry. Love the learning aspect you provide. Thanks and keep them coming.
As a biologist I can only say: wish all farmers were more like Harry.
Those walls are a work of art!
Apart from the regulatory hassles and the usual weather-related issues, your farm is looking astonishingly beautiful, Harry.
The walls are beautiful & it is a testament to a good farmer who looks after them
Those stone walls look incredible. Unfathomable amount of work!
I know nothing about farming, stumbled in here from Harry's Garage, but you are just such an interesting person to listen to. I'm hooked. Thanks Harry for keeping me sane during lockdown
Wow, thank you!
Harry and Cole the Cornstar both for farming and machinery passion. Harry doesn't shout however !
Excellent video as always Harry. I started watching your farm series because I liked your garage series and I’m finding it very informative.
You did well to talk about the bureaucrat's without using an expletive!
Just found your channel while eating a bacon roll breakfast, you put it over so well and having a few subjects made the video so watchable.
I'm from a farming heritage with my Gt Grandad having a market garden mid was from Wrexham and the English border. It was passed down to my uncle and father in the mid 30s. On the outbreak of WWII one had to join the military and my father was chosen in a toss of coins. After the war my fathers unit was employed in war damage repair and on demob was taken on by a civil engineering contractor. Fathers share of the farm was passed to uncle on the understanding he looked after my 4 aunties. My school holidays were often spent at the farm, which living in North London was great to be out on the land. Learnt to drive a grey Massey, well steered it along the crop rows as the pickers loaded the trailer.
On leaving school I started working on a dairy farm nr. Potters Bar, Herts. The farm produced all the feed for the herds, and I rose to be a tractor driver on an old TVO/Petrol Fordson fitted with the luxury seat option, a folded hemp sack!!!.
Later moving to a Blue Fordson Major and then the Massey Ferguson 65. I gave up farming in the autumn as dad had proved his point that construction paid a lot more money.
Sorry this is your channel and here I am giving my life story, well it has kept me busy during the lock down here in Vietnam. Stay safe, thanks
Wow, absolutely beautiful stone walls. Nice one Harry.
Great video Harry , very informative for people out side the farming world, spring drilling went well for us , don’t think I’ve seen wheat and barley emerge so fast , nor beans come to think of it , can’t believe we are asking for rain now though 👍
Great update as usual, dry stone walling chap is very skilled!
@@mezalong What? Those walls are beautiful! A bit of a shame about the tree, but there's nothing wrong with making decisions like that. It *is* his land.
Hi Harry really enjoyed another excellent video keep them coming!
nice to see you enjoying the bike on the land reminds me of good times with my grand dad on his farm and yes I miss the lifestyle it was hard which a lot do not see but the good times made up for all the problems
your explanations of policy are so factual and without judgement, great insight into the business side of the farm
Fantastic stone walls! I love how all the material is there on the ground ready to be used. I was told when stone walling if you pick up a stone, you use that stone otherwise you’ll be there for weeks!
Thanks for maintaining the lovely stone walls Harry.
Farming video with a lovely cagiva bike great stuff
Another great video, I started off as a Harry's Garage fan but to be honest I think I now enjoy the Farm vids more, he's like a farming Jack Hargreaves (showing my age there). Thanks Harry
Thanks 👍
Give our fantastic farmers all the support they need. It's about time we appreciated them more. All that knowledge and skill that puts food and milk + meat on our table. We have wonderful arable + pasture land, let's use it properly. We shouldnt be importing stuff we can grow ourselves. If it adds a penny or 2 to a pint of milk or a loaf of bread so what. Thank you harry for another great vid. Stay safe
Hope so, I sense UK farmers will gain more support post CV, let's see..
They could help themselves and us a bit by not putting constraints on pickers like having to live on the farm.
@@earthstick
The picking season is short, hard work and quite brutal. That's just the way it is. Workers often do 14 hour shifts, they need to.stay near to the crop. I'm not sure what you would have farmers do? They provide accommodation for the workers that come from all over Europe to work hard and earn money. A high percentage of our unemployed could do this. Unfortunately we allow them to laze around on benefits that we pay for. Time for this to stop. If as a nation we can't even be arsed to pick our own fruit then we a genuinely fucked
@@harrysfarmvids
I hope you're right. It's scandalous that we rely on imports to feed our own people.
You have my utmost respect sir.
Please take care and stay safe.
Best wishes to you and your family and thank you for taking the time to educate and inform
Your stone waller is a real artist! Forecast of next week is quite a lot of rain ( and i'm only 40 miles from you so that mustard seed should be fine!)
As usual very informative and interesting. I am from Norfolk farming stock ( maternal grandparents) but still find the films interesting especially in these more modern days. Pleased the walls are kept well maintained and land is left for the birds etc. Norfolk has become very different these days with huge farms etc by UK standards.
I also agree we need to think about feeding ourselves and making more of what we need after this Corvid virus,
Your videos are fantastic, I love them...
Lovely place you’ve got, Harry.
If Steve McQueen was a farmer! Very very interesting. Thank you for posting.
Love these vids. So informative and well explained.
Thanks so much for these videos, they're really fun and informative, and a bit of nostalgia for someone who grew up on a farm. Don't mind that you diss US agg sometimes, a lot of it has become unsustainable. This pandemic has a least seemed to help raise people's consciousness about their food supply.
Excellent video Harry 👍. Thankyou
There is a real sense of the world slowly turning as I watch your videos, Harry. Things change so gently it's not until you cast our minds back the difference is so apparent. I'm very grateful that I have the opportunity to spend a brief 20 minutes sat down with a cup of coffee and your dulcet tones to sooth away the pressures of an industrial life. Stay safe Harry, hope the weather gives you what you want.
Who needs Countryfile, this is proper! cheers Harry.
Harry, cars were the subject I followed your 'vlog, however even at my age I am still learning from your 'Harry's Farm' Vlog, brilliant and very informative. Regards, RichardA
Thanks Harry. Your videos help pass the time while we are self isolating. In Canada we also have government help for some crops but nothing like you have in England. Stay healthy
Thank you again Harry. It's all very informative. I especially like the part of the dry-stone wall
Goodonya Harry. Love the farm videos, very interesting.
Came for the cars & bikes...stayed for the farming! Thanks, Harry.
Another great vid, thanks. Love your bike.
Really interesting Harry - thanks😀
That looks easy stone to work. Ho slope is called a batter.
Looks fabulous in the sunshine !
As always, really enjoyed the video. Thank Harry!

Hi Harry, fantastic and informative update for a "townie" like me :-) Here's hoping for Rain on Sunday so you can get your mustard mix planted up.
Fascinating video as ever. I always look forward to your farm education content. Thanks very much. Bike cam looks good too.
Thank you for the education Harry fascinating how a modern farm works 👍
Great video Harry, good combination of farm info. along with a bit about the Caviga. Spot on about the need to support UK food production. Any chance of a video with background to the bike please - the Paris Dakar win and how you tracked this one down?
Lovely Jubbly, a very enjoyable 17 minutes, many thanks.
Harry ,Interesting as ever, keep calm and carry on 🚜👍
Another really interesting video Harry. We have lots of Dry Stone walls in Malta.
Superb
Thank you - so enjoyable
Really enjoyed this
Bloody love these videos
Liking the old skool Moto-x top too 👍
Thanks for these. Learn so much and everyone really needs to understand the work and challenge involved with raising crops and farming.
Very informative Thanks Harry.
Brilliant stuff Harry ..👍👍👍👍
When I'm older, Harry will be like David Attenborough to listen too...Dadly comforting.
You are a credit to are perfusion well done 👍
Harry, your Farm and Garage are the heights of my RUclips watching. Many, many thanks for both.
Really informative and an excellent companion channel to Harry's garage - subscribed and watching each new episode. Amazing how you have gone from flood to near drought in a few weeks.
Gooday Harry it's very interesting to hear about the funding and and the view of governing bodies,people don't realise how much planning goes into farming of any type really . If they don't help you out how are you going to persuade the next generation to take it on. Enjoy your talks and hope you have a good season.
Well done 👍 Harry great job mate from Australia 🇦🇺 🍷
Beautiful walls Harry.
Another very listenable vlog is by Tom Cunliffe. All about boats and his life. A really good watch, just like Harry.
