Whiteboard Wednesday’s yes, be interested in cost of keeping suckler cows (per cow) if they need to be keep in for six months of the year. Love the content 👍
I for one would definitely love to see some more technical videos especially around the economics of the beef herd and your switch from arable as most suckler herds in the UK have very small or non existent margins. Be great to see how you are doing so well and how it stacks against the arable especially as I assume you had a relatively low cost of production on the arable side with the direct drilling and nutrients from cattle and grass/clover rotations.
Yes please to whiteboard Wednesdays - costings for crops vs grass leys, EBVs, farm profit and loss, rising costs over recent years, wintering costs for cattle, grass yields and feed value etc etc - thanks
Yes please for an extra, in detail video. Personally I would like to know some more specifics on how to grow grass and what fertilisers do what and all that fun stuff. Love the videos and keep up the good work.
Nice save on the seed rate, pls follow up on weather the "trial plots" outperform the standard rate. Technical/ Economics videos would be very interesting. Its always nice to have the how and why answered. As for gps. If Trimble are to busy with Mr. Pemberton, then setting yourself up an AGopenGPS system could make some good (semi-affordable) content.
I said in your vid on your big change , i am planting one of these SFI lays on a smaller scale because we are small , as far as i have found out you can cut these lays when you like , am i right or do you know any difference can't find it at all in SFI book , Doing the White board stuff is a great idea perhaps we all can lean a bit from this too , cannot wait to see these seeds come up , really really good stuff , and a good save on the planting Rate looks like you saved the day well done
Hey James. They have released a 2024 version of the SFI handbook about a week or so ago which may have changed, but 2023 Herbal Leys had no restrictions what so ever. Meaning you could spread fert, cut whenever etc. I believe the 2024 update does include a fertiliser restrictions but I haven’t heard of a cutting restriction. Under mid tier stewardship for example, you must shut the ley up for at least 5 weeks between 1st May and I believe 1st July.
I'd love to watch a whiteboard Wednesday video. I ain't a farmer but I am a farmer's daughter. You present information clearly and concisely.
It will be interesting to see if the area double seeded produces more. I expect it will in the short term.😊

8:03 Make sure you wait till August to clear the margins. Take the wildflower and grass seed with you.
Freddie looks at home in the tractor! Lovely to see him, star of the show 😍
White board Wednesday sounds great
Hi James, the extra videos about how and why you are doing stuff would be great. Grazing, ebv, bulling and ai would be awesome. John
Hello from Scotland 😊
A perfect approach to grasses etc establishment. Make a seedbed. Then drill and level. ❤❤❤❤😊
whiteboard Wednesday as someone else put it is a great idea. As a farmer, I love the facts on cattle and grass
are you going to get more cows you always do a good job what ever you do what a great video take care and have a good weekend
whiteboard Wednesdays.........................................fantastic idea!!!!
It is really great seeing farming in the UK
Thanks William, glad you’re enjoying it. 😊
I Drill grass seed with a Acord and I just lift the colters out the ground.
I would do that for a straight grass but ours still buries the herbs too deep if we do.
Would love whiteboard Wednesdays! Great videos and some more technical info would be fantastic
Hi James, yes please
, more videos are always good. Keep them c9ming. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I'd love for you to do the whiteboard Wednesday, I want to learn more so I can have more experience.
I want to see whiteboard Wednesday, the farm management side in what you do is what is missing on other channels.
Yes please for an extra, in detail video. Personally I would like to know some more specifics on how to grow grass and what fertilisers do what and all that fun stuff. Love the videos and keep up the good work.
Loved the video James. Great work and done a great job with the seeder.
Great video, love the tractor work,Freddie is adorable, ❤
whiteboard Wednesday sounds like fun to me!

Definitely up for some whiteboard Wednesdays James 👍
I’ve just bought some herbal ley mix to go on at 10kg an acre so when you said 24kg I was panicking I hadn’t got enough 😂
I'd like to learn what i can for farming, bring on the videos
Whiteboard wednesdays for the win
Hi James Nice one Thanks again
Interested in all aspects tech and fun bits
I said in your vid on your big change , i am planting one of these SFI lays on a smaller scale because we are small , as far as i have found out you can cut these lays when you like , am i right or do you know any difference can't find it at all in SFI book , Doing the White board stuff is a great idea perhaps we all can lean a bit from this too , cannot wait to see these seeds come up , really really good stuff , and a good save on the planting Rate looks like you saved the day well done

Cattle nutrition video would be interesting.. 👍
Surprising how much the steel posts have rusted in the silage pit. You should paint them every year, paint will be cheaper thain replacing the post.
every day's a school day - bring on the tech, we can take it 😂
Would be interested in the white board videos be good to watch listen and learn
The more technical the video the better
I’d say go with the Wednesday video
I’ve got a man who I use to contact you about sat nav 👍🏻
I would like a technical Wednesday
Roll on Wednesdays😂
Go for a Wednesday video!
I opened 37 bags of grass seeds last week and only failed in one bag, does that mean I have super powers
Today I learned it’s not Herbal Lay
