❤❤❤❤ I'm 100% behind you and every farmer Charlotte, it's a disgrace that the party of the working person is going to ruin the hardest working industry, in my opinion. NO FARMERS NO FOOD. Tax the companies making billions in profit at the end of the line. Not the people at the start of the line.
Totally agree Tesco profits £2.3bn and gov nails farmers to the wall while doing nothing to these companies that are price gauging the public and ripping off farmers
Good luck in London on Tuesday Charlotte. I hope your government revise the tax plans and start supporting the farmers and especially the ones who really are struggling to make ends meat. Irish farmers support you 🇮🇪 Rita xx
I am not a farmer but I am a Lancashire lass that grew up around farms and not just in uk .. I follow you and Tom, and a couple of farmers in Oz etc .. my mother’s family were market gardeners .. I used to grow my own and it’s hard work .. I hope you and all the other farmers know we are behind you 100% this government by far is the absolute worst we have had ever … and I hope you give them hell .. we all know the supermarkets make the money and I think farms should get the milk trucks out and deliver to street corners like they did years ago go .. and sell there produce direct to public .. and don’t forget to boycott deliveries to no 10 … Give them hell
When that food is not in the shops, people do not connect a farm with the supermarket. Making people understand, what farm life is all about is very important.
Completely agree with you about informing the public. Absolutely agree. I just bought a Fed by Farmers hat (which I couldn't afford) to wear around London in the hope it starts some checkout or bus-stop conversations. The government has clearly stated this is their fox-hunting or mining-style issue. My worry is food security, and big companies buying up land won't help with that.
Charlotte I think Roy is a very lucky person having a wife like you that can turn her hand to anything mending broken scrapers to unblocking drains I think you have been having lessons of Auntie Janet Your sence of humour is brilliant You never bore us- your a real hands on person thy. What a call a gradely las nowt fazes they fantastic video Charlotte keep them coming
100% on the money Charlotte. Farmers are at the mercy of commodity buyers. The further farmers can get to the end product/ sale to consumers, the better price they will get. For instance if a sheep has a lamb, that lamb can be sold at any point, but if the lamb is kept and fed right through to direct sale to consumer the price can be set by the producers. The quality can be better also. This is why small farms are so important to the country and to the wellbeing of all involved, including the general public but especially the farming families. But for this to happen the gulf of miss education or lack of needs to be overcome.
Back in the day when I milked and worked in a factory every penny I made went to supporting the farm. It cost me more money to raise corn than I received for it at the Mill and it’s ten times worse now. I feel for you I have been there. Keep your chin up.
I'm a farmer and in Ireland. It's the bloody same here people have protested in front of shop's and the government and never received what they promised. It's f..kin terrible disgrace how we are treated. When I saw you bring the wool from the sheep to the compost heap. It made me cry. 30 years ago that would give you a nice few quid for the bank. And be happy. We are a sheep farm . Love your videos all of the types of things that you do.
Evening Charlotte, what a heavenly start to tonight's update Are you racing to catch up to Cammy lol, he had a deluxe trailer setup I think you're possibly making a rod for your own back, clearing that, Roy will say that your job going forward, just remind him, you'll be on time and a turd lol Having the right tool for the job certainly has an impact on how easy it can be done lol Take care all Geoff
I got a quick release thingy for my milwaukee grinder its been priceless as i can never find the key when changing a disc. Great video as ever, getting jobs done,doesn't matter if bolts are long,you're back working.
Great video Charlotte. The message needs to be shouted loud, the price of cereals and a lot of other things are going up because of short supply but the farmers will not see a penny of it. The cereal buyers are paying the farmers the same but selling at higher prices simply because apart from milk demand is greater than supply and when was the last time the dairy farmers got a per litre increase? The food manufacturers e.g. Breakfast cereals, Baked goods, meat & dairy then charge more and the shops pass that cost on to the customer. I'm lucky that I have several "Farm shops" near to where I live (Including Tom Pemberton's) and though they can be more expensive than the budget supermarkets you are always assured of traceability and quality. Like the old saying goes "You get what you pay for" 👍.
Good rant and well put. We get produce from a local farm shop and the quality is spot on. Obs we have to use the local supermarkets as well bui get what you can produced locally. Can you imagine Roy in a butcher's apron. No me neither. But it still can be done!! The local shopping thing! On another topic it's the farm stuff that I enjoy best. Thank you. By the way that opening was moody!!!!!👏👏👏👍
We buy our meat directly from the farmer. Better quality, better price than in a department store. And the farmer gets paid what he wants, and deserves!
In 1984 my father was getting £115 for a tonne of barley, the November price in 2024 is £148 (per Farmers Weekly}. Fuel, wages, fertiliser, machinery, seed have all risen substantially since then.
Hi Charlotte great video yet again , speaking sence yet again ,where’s your gloves Roding the drains no gloves on , I nearly choked on my chicken tikka masala 😂 whatching you ❤❤
100% agree. But, if food rose to necessity, the big stores would still just keep the profit, lie to the public, and the farmers would still suffer. It's a sad fact, and I don't know a solution
How about fitting a bit of flat bar to fit along over the bolt holes and drill precise holes in it then put in your bolts. You must have an old gate or something lying on scrap pile. Not all usable pieces come shiny in packets.
The disk retention thing you are complaining about is, I'm told, better at holding the discs securely. Personally I replaced them with the ones with the fold-over lever. Never had a problem but I'm perhaps not doing very heavy duty work?
Yep rite on lass it seems world wide with farming your needed every day to keep us all alive but seems the goverment and big cats seem to for get were and what its about ok be safe
The thing with prices of whatever going up 3 times a year and those cereals going up in price coz of poor harvest is very confusing coz from other channels I watch kinda say the opposite. They’ve went up but they ain’t ever going back down say when there’s a great harvest. Where the increased profit margin actually goes is the interesting part 🤷🏻♂️
Evening Charlotte 100% right you should be given what you work dam hard for do tend to agree with you about the video's joe & olly usually do it, are you off to London on Tuesday?
Hey thirty five years ago my wife and I had to convince a neighbour’s child that pigs were turned into sausages! They lived in the country! I doubt it is much different today. Regrettably we cannot always gain by looking back. Yes the Labour government post war pushed farming because the was no money for purchase of foreign food. My introduction to NHS was a teaspoonful of orange juice daily from a 20oz bottle. That was it! My Father paid £200 for my Mother’s laying in in 1946 for my birth. Now contained food prices functioned because there were no wage rises and everything was nationalised. One problem nothing worked not even the workforce. Socialism is wonderful in front of the fire but falls flat on its face in the street. This is in process of happening again now. Capitalism creates and we hang on the edges for a living socialism spends until there is nothing. Is there a middle way? Apparently not and society around the world wobbles between the two. Today we have the internet a societies everywhere are realising there are very rich and the poor. It is just a matter of how poor you are. Remember you are poorer than a government minister so they don’t care.
FYI only the UK had a poor harvest but the majority of Europe had a great harvest, hence why the prices of all grains was super low and the UK farmers only covered costs of were ever so slightly in the black
The public by in large don’t care where food comes from as long as it is cheap. Farmers are seen as those who dirty the roads, hold up traffic and cause a smell. Farmers will always be on the back foot as long as the government are against them and are hand in hand with the food processors. Also many people think farmers are minted when they see the big machinery. The family farm barely makes enough to keep a family even after 100’s of hours work per week. The time has come for the supermarkets to pass on substantial profits to farmers.
Re air horns on j.deere tractors, it’s probably because the factory fitted horn has failed and the dealership wants to charge them obscene prices for a replacement. I have driven 3 of them (relatives farms obvs, I’m not a millionaire! ) and the horn didn’t work on any of them. Plus I think all the deere owners secretly pretend they are on the vast plains and praries of nth America. Thanks for the videos 👍
I just want to add, take a look back to the days of BSE. Farmers lost thousands upon thousands of pounds at that time ( per farm) , because they fed offal as a protein to their animals. Well I don’t know of any farmer who requested or knowingly fed this protein. They ordered a ration from the Feed suppliers not knowing what was in it. The feed suppliers kept very quiet and didn’t loose a penny and weren’t held to account, yet values of farm animals plummeted. The government or any other body did nothing to help and just let the feed suppliers off the hook leaving the farmer to burden horrendous losses. Seems the farmer gets kicked in the guts every time.
The disconnect with the food and farmers is down to the supermarkets perfect example being meat instead of seeing the butchers shop with the lambs and sides of pork hanging in the window people see a sterile plastic tub or vacpac of meat. Also the supermarkets with the various offers hide the true cost of items.
you will never bore us by talking the truth. Those who live with their head in the sand will ignore what you say regardless, and unless the MSM do more to help put your message across you can only rely on those who do listen and do understand. I thought when ( a life time ago) I was working the farms in Devon back in the 90's things were starting to look bleak, and there were more than enough disaster level events going round, but today it feels like you have the world against you, as well as nature. I wish there was a way of ring fencing the farming community to protect them more.
I think that the tax thing in the uk has grown legs mainly because it is the straw that broke the camels back, rules and regulations ( many of which are totally nonsensical) have been imposed on agriculture for decades and the justification was that we were getting the cheque in the post to compensate us, now the cheque in the post is a pittance and we are still being forced to abide with all the red tape.

Just look at the billions in profits that Tesco announced lately, they claim to be looking after the consumer, yet they make billions in profits? We need to explain to people that they have to become interested in where their food comes from because if they don’t and allow governments to make farming completely unviable, forcing farmers to sell up to for the most part to non agricultural entities who want the land for non agricultural uses ( carbon sinks, trees, rewilding, even re wetting and for energy production, solar panels and crops for bio digesters) they will have to pay the same huge conglomerates vastly more for their food, by vastly more, I mean something like it was in the early part of the last century when food accounted for 50 percent of the average household spend. If the people allow governments to eliminate farmers especially family farms, they will never get them back. Protest and protest and fight against the unfair treatment of farmers but the truth is that will never influence any government Unless you can get the general public to agree with you because the farming community is so small that they can’t influence any election on their own so you need the backing of the public to get any government to stop victimising farmers. Sorry for the long rant but this isn’t just a uk issue it’s a problem all over the world and if farmers ( internationally) don’t halt this insane nonsense that is being championed by many governments we will see widespread famine across the world within a decade or two . Regards from Ireland.
I’m one of those who likes the variety in your videos on farm and off farm, sheep, cows shit scraping the lot 😂. Can you not lift the grill and put the hose into the drain? Be careful when you’re using rods with nothing on the end as you can punch a hole in the bottom of the pipe and it won’t be easy to fix. You’re right a lot of people don’t make the connection between farm and food. There needs to be more education. They need to support you farmers or they will be paying higher prices for poor grade imported food.
3:59 was that a touch of an American accent? Can you do the American Accent? It would be really funny to see you do an entire episode with an American accent, pretending to be an American dairy farmer
1 ) Have you ever lost a drain rod down a drain,such a pain. 2 ) Do some cows choose the same bays everytime ? 3 ) As Madonna used to say : Grace Kelly, Harlow, Jean Picture of a beauty queen Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire Ginger Rogers, dance on air They had style, they had grace Charlotte Ashley gave good face Lauren, Katherine, Lana too Bette Davis, we love you ! 4 ) Should have played working at the car wash song or : " I cant pretend to be A great celebrity But still I'm quite important in my way The job I have to do may not sound much to you But all the same, I'm very proud to say I'm the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole that holds the Ring that drives the rod that turns The knob that works the thing ummy bob I'm the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil that oils the Ring that takes the shank that moves The crank that works the thing ummy bob " Grace Kelly to Gracie Fields. What a segue.
I disagree with the last bit about if you’ve seen 1 yt farm channel post something (ie the shows) you’ve seen them all. I think it’s about seeing different personalities and opinions on the same stuff 🤷🏻♂️ I dunno how to explain but I know what I mean. ☺️
It is because unfortunately food can be imported cheaper from countries that don't have the same standards and restrictions we have here. Not a level playing field.
I'm not a farmer. I think supermarkets have to take a lot of the blame. Buying from the lower animal welfare, using any old shite sprayed on crops farmer from abroad. If they can't screw british farmers any lower on price. Good luck to you all from a very keen eater.
Please spend a few hours of your time and take a course in changing abrasive wheels. Not a safety nutter just seen the damage grinders can do when wheel is not fixed correctly. Yeah I know more cost but it will be cheaper than trying to buy a new eye.

I have a hundred Ridgeline caps to give away
You're not boring us at all. The explanation of how prices work for farmers needs repeating and spreading widely.

Keep spreading the word, one day the general public will listen and understand.

Spot on I living wales I work on farms ever summer holidays it was hard work people needs to wake up no farmers no food
Well said 👍

Oh they did offer but I thought it was a bit overkill for me really
Crowd fund the gates. Xxx
I would watch you boil a kettle. So include everything here, sheep shows the lot, your true fan will watch.❤

Alright paddy how are ya
@ I’m not to bad. How are you Charlotte x

Ha ha ha that makes sense x
There would be rioting in the streets if the public had to give up the annual holiday to Spain to pay more for their bacon and eggs.
I just want to add, take a look back to the days of BSE. Farmers lost thousands upon thousands of pounds at that time ( per farm) , because they fed offal as a protein to their animals. Well I don’t know of any farmer who requested or knowingly fed this protein. They ordered a ration from the Feed suppliers not knowing what was in it.

Weird if the sheep videos don’t do well. Lambing is the the most tense exciting part of the year I should think.
you will never bore us by talking the truth. Those who live with their head in the sand will ignore what you say regardless, and unless the MSM do more to help put your message across you can only rely on those who do listen and do understand.
I thought when ( a life time ago) I was working the farms in Devon back in the 90's things were starting to look bleak, and there were more than enough disaster level events going round, but today it feels like you have the world against you, as well as nature. I wish there was a way of ring fencing the farming community to protect them more.
No farmer's no food so we need farmer's
There was an idiot Labour MP who announced during an interview recently that we don’t need farmers. I wonder how he proposes to feed himself?
Get your engineering friend to punch out 10mm flat iron for washer's . Only job for worn hole.

First🎉
1 ) Have you ever lost a drain rod down a drain,such a pain.
2 ) Do some cows choose the same bays everytime ?
3 ) As Madonna used to say :
Grace Kelly, Harlow, Jean
Picture of a beauty queen
Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire
Ginger Rogers, dance on air
They had style, they had grace
Charlotte Ashley gave good face
Lauren, Katherine, Lana too
Bette Davis, we love you !
4 ) Should have played working at the car wash song or :
" I cant pretend to be
A great celebrity
But still I'm quite important in my way
The job I have to do may not sound much to you
But all the same, I'm very proud to say
I'm the girl that makes the thing that drills the hole that holds the
Ring that drives the rod that turns
The knob that works the thing ummy bob
I'm the girl that makes the thing that holds the oil that oils the
Ring that takes the shank that moves
The crank that works the thing ummy bob "
Grace Kelly to Gracie Fields.
What a segue.
You shouldn't be able to loose that cup now with its neon green colour

Please spend a few hours of your time and take a course in changing abrasive wheels. Not a safety nutter just seen the damage grinders can do when wheel is not fixed correctly. Yeah I know more cost but it will be cheaper than trying to buy a new eye.
