- 2020 continues to challenge us on Harry's Farm, this time making drilling the wheat a real challenge. Here's an update on what's been happening..
It is commendable Harry that you have planted a hedgerow with a varied mix of thorns and other plants. A lot of hedgerow was lost in the late sixties and seventies.
Makes you laugh really, there were grants to pull them out in the 60s/70s and there's grants to put them back in now!
This guy knows his onions... even if he doesn't actually grow them... Always excited to see a farm update notification.. I learn a lot from every episode...Thanks, Harry.
I realize I am pretty off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online?
@Aaron Valentino Try Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Kole Hector Yea, been using Flixzone for since april myself :D
@Kole Hector thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it!!
@Aaron Valentino You are welcome xD
The most entertaining programme on any tv anywhere, honest, real, practical, and stoical Harry keeps on farming. A real showcase for farming in 21st century UK.
Thanks for giving a nod to the bird lovers Harry. Sadly, we are seeing much fewer migratory thrushes like Redwing, Mistle thrush etc due to the reduced availability of winter food. Can you imagine what a few thousand thrushes could do to the slug population? It's the same in our private gardens, loads of slugs and snails and no thrushes.
Very happy you do your bit for the birds Harry, good on you! cheers. I think these "Harry's Farm " films should be played to children in schools so they grow up aware things just don't grow by chance on farmers fields, it takes a lot of effort and farmers should have public support and not taken for granted!
Thanks Harry, so interesting to follow this as a lay person. We take our food for granted, this helps me to appreciate the knowledge and efforts of farmers ..
My wife thinks I have gone totally bonkers watching a farmer from my inner city home. Compelling stuff though.
I'm a farmer.try Gerry 6420 in louth and Tom pemberton farm life in uk
Food just doesn't magically appear in your local shops.
@@charlesharper2357 NO? Surely not. I thought it just magicked itself there on a lorry from Sainsbury's, and they collect the potatoes and vegetables from the big distribution centre where it grows....
@@richardwalsh6024 Thanks for the heads up Richard.
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne
I never claimed you did.
I'm just making the point that people like your wife take our food supply and our farmers for granted...people should take an interest in how our food is produced and the people that produce it.
Harry’s Farm + pint mug of steaming hot tea......and relax. Thanks Harry!!
The proud smile on your face, when you said you already sold your Skyfall now! Thank you for leaving the winter food for the birds, not everyone is that considerate. Thank you, Harry!
you would not have a boulder like that if you had picked it up when it was SMALL
Shame the price of rocks is so small, Harry would have a great harvest!
Facinating this series if you know nothing about farming, take care Harry.
Channel is flying along now. You are like the David Attenborough of farming to us non farmers who have lived in the sticks but now live in the town due to work reasons. I'm a bogger at heart.
Thanks harry for a very informative update on what's happening in your farm,,, looking forward to next update, 😁😁
Lovely Jubbly, always educational.
Hi Harry, thank you for keep us informed as to what is going on with regards to your farm, I always look out for new videos from you. All the best Wayne.
the fields almost stone paved.
Obviously no benefit in clearing them....
I came from the garage, watched one farming video and binged watched them all over a few days. Fascinating stuff, only channel I get alerts for new videos. Cheers Harry.
Another thoroughly enjoyable inside look from a farmer's perspective. Learning so much from watching these videos. Thank you.
All sounds + looks very good as informative as ever too. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the update Harry, all the best in 21
Gosh I am learning so much from the vlogs.i am a country lad worked in forestry and as a gamekeeper.always enjoyable and informative thank you so much grazie ciao
It’s rare to find one person so knowledgeable about two areas. Farming and cars, growing and going. This is the web at its educational best. Thanks Harry.
The same with J Arthur Rank, into flour and films.
I now live on the West coast of Canada but grew up on farms in the Cotswolds. These videos are just a real treat and great stroll down memory lane. Thank you Harry!!
Craziness above.

🙏
Some say Harry has only released his new video because he finally stopped rolling the boulder
All we know is, He is not the stig. He is the stigs farming cousin......
Would love to see a machinery tour at some point Harry. Great vid aswell👍
Good afternoon Harry, thank you for the video and crossed fingers hope it all pans out!! Take care and stay safe 👍😎🇬🇧.
Thanks Harry for another Farm Video, always interesting. Keep on going.
Thanks for the update. Very interesting as always.
7:35 Wow, two weeks pushing that boulder! Great videos keep them coming 👍🏻.
Cheers for the update, hope you get all the wheat fields rolled.
New subscriber here. Excellent video! The information content is second to none. I love the way you explain what you are doing and why.
Another interesting and informative video. Thank you Harry. 🙂👍
Thanks Harry - enjoy your straight to the point videos
Totally with you Harry on people chucking their rubbish everywhere. Seems to have been worse than ever this year. You used to see ‘Keep Britain Tidy’ ads on TV when I was younger. Cut backs again I guess. People, take your own crap home with you or stick it in a bin. How hard can it be?
@@Tim091 Yes, what's wrong with drawing on a Marlborough instead? We have made speeding an antisocial activity, surely littering has to be the next target!
Same at Kinder Scout this week. In the past I've taken a spare empty carrier bag and have done a litter pick.
One of the things that always shocks me is how much trash is deposited on my family's farm in France. In contrast, driving through US farmland here in California, you rarely see trash like that..... Same deal when I drove cross-country in Ohio/Indiana/Nebraska or when I was living in Maine.
Probably worse this year due to the lockdown, more people walking local tracks due to being restricted
Hi there Harry, subscribing to you I've learned a lot about different cars, now I'm learning a lot about farming. Long may you rule.
Great to see the farm doing well! We got 3 cuts off of our hay ground this year, best year so far!
Fascinating channel, thanks Harry. I find your comments on how government policy affects you very interesting. I also love hearing about all the gadgetry on a modern farm.
A man of so many talents and interests. Great video.
Great update video Harry,shame about the (I could swear) silly weather,but not alot we can do about it,just carry on,you and your team do a great job...So keep going and we'll keep watching.... Brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻...
Dabbling with the futures market hey. Wishing you much luck and light.
Learning through every video - it’s great!
Fantastic video again, absolutely fascinating
I think these are now my favourite videos on youtube. Even though I've never farmed a day in my life lol
Always interesting to watch, and learn stuff about some of the issues facing Farmers'...a lifelong struggle, it seems!
Incredibly informative and engaging.
Hello again Harry, I look at your VLOG for car content and get 'hooked' on 'Harry's Farm', how sad am I, but I really enjoy all the information, please keep on going with Harry's Farm, something totally different and very interesting. Best regards, RichardA.
I subscribe to both your channels, and from being a curiosity I'm now developing a preference for the farming videos.
Brilliant and informative, I’m a Wannabee farmer but too old and not enough £ but I really enjoy these videos and imagine myself in your shoes.
Thanks.
Harry, glad to see you producing farming vids. More real world interest instead of super car bunk. I'm retired after 47 years of MBenz and BMW dealer employment. But my family roots is farming. 65 years in Connecticut, now retired to New Hampshire 🇺🇸👍🏁✌️ cheers.
Harry I’m in the south east USA, South Carolina, and this is THE wettest year I can remember in my 30 years of farming. We had to leave out 450 acres this year that would’ve went into soybeans bc of non stop rain all spring and summer and here we are in fall and it’s still so wet we can’t get into the fields to plant wheat Hope everything goes good for you w planting
Strange. I'm in the NE USA, Connecticut and this summer has been one of the dryest / least humid that I can remember in the last 10-15 years. We had mass dieback of lawns, trees started defoliating in August, gardens had to be watered 2-3 times per day. The climate is much less predictable than it seems it used to be.
@@justinclark5078 the weather had gone completely insane. That was our year here last year. Bone dry all summer and so hot we never even had a spring. Went from winter to summer. It hit in the 100F in April here last year and I’ve never seen that happen. We didn’t get any rain to speak of from may till August. Soybeans were small as bb’s and it really killed the yield. Corn did pretty good this year and milo did too, but the excessive rain ended up taking ab 50% of yield from milo bc it was 4 weeks late on harvest. It’s been a mess. Seems like it’s one extreme or the other. Bone dry or flooding. I’ve been on farm my entire life and seems like things changed w the weather 4-5 years ago. I don’t ever remember having problems weather related like we do today
Good job you moved that big stone imagine the size slug under it would have eaten the whole field.
What with slugs and litter louts both a dam nuisance, another great video cheers Harry 👍🚜
Harry I had to laugh when I came back in from making a drink and you were wondering about with a can of fosters 😂
Good to see your getting on well with the drilling Harry, looks a lovely bit of dirt, haven’t drilled anything since the 1st of October here in Essex over 200mm of rain has made our heavy clay almost impossible to even travel on, even with this dry window we’re having, but good to see somebody making some progress 👍🏻
Dirt?
Are you one of those Americans?
Loads of litter all over fields near me people are so lazy and stupid
Couldn't agree more; who the hell thinks "hmm, I'll go for a walk in beautiful countryside and throw all my rubbish everywhere"? Bizarre.
@@sq1rlsqu4d I saw a load of rubbish dumped in a field yesterday, less than a 30 second walk away from a bin
Those cows don't have a good day when a shredded beer can is mixed into their feed.
Same where I live too, really makes me angry !
Your forklift looks like me trying to bring in all the groceries at once in that opening shot.
you have 6 dislikes why would anyone dislike this video? I enjoy your videos keep them coming . thank you
Thanks Harry; all the best for the coming year. I guess there are no ground beetles lift to eat the slugs; insecticides are not selective enough!
Just found this today - Harry is such a good presenter and makes us none farmers very interested in what he does
Love Harry one of the most relaxed farmers I’ve ever seen 😁😂
can't wait for April/may, fields of rapeseed blooming is one of the most beautiful sights
Looks nice but smells 'orrid!
The smell is subjective. Personally I like it
Give me flax any day. ..
Looks to be very time consuming
Always interesting to watch what's going on - it seems like one big gamble
I could follow Harry round everyday just listening to him and not saying a word
Thanks for the costs/prices on captions.
I swear that Harry’s hair grows in power with every new RUclips subscriber 😄
A different set of challenges this year, once again, compared to last... but you're thumbs coming up good!👍
You have to admire the man. Thanks Harry
Who’d be a farmer?? ... fascinating as ever Harry seeing the trials and tribulations of farming 👍 (good job you’ve got the cars/bikes/RUclips to keep your head above water Harry! 😆)
Great video. Have you thought about sub soiling some of the wet areas as maybe it's down to compaction?
We had the same weather over here in Sweden as well and I'm in the middle of changing the roof on my house! We came through allright though.
I remember being shouted at at college for saying “compacting a seed bed” consolidation is very different to compaction. Great video, cheers
When grass areas were disturbed during works at the airport the earth was often reseeded or sprayed with seed in a wallpaper like paste. This gave the seed a head start, but we were always told to keep off the area reseeded while it established. When it was driven over though the seed seemed to grow better where it was compacted.
Unbelievable

🙏🙏
I had a simlar problem with our spring barley, it recovered very well.
Television Infrared Observation Satellite. Amazing what one finds out searching for things. Thanks Harry. Tiros he's probably the one who through that can in your field.
When I posted this there were five people who didn't like Harry's farm update, how I ask can you not like Harry's output? the man is is like an open book with the way he explains the why's and wherefore's, he is the business and good on him.
Colin Mayes Probably because he mentioned glyphosate. Sadly people are against this product that enables us to farm in a much more environmentally friendly way with a hugely reduced carbon footprint.
@@HawkMillFarm Thank you, yes I think you are correct, I hadn't thought that one out, best wishes to you.
He doesn't plow his fields, thats reason people don't like him..
As a "Townie" I cannot bring myself to leave rubbish in the countryside, even out and about in my home town I wince at the thought of littering. Anyhow thanks again Harry for the vid.
Thanks Harry!
Harry's Farm never ceases to be interesting and informative! Let's face it, food is fundamental to life, but it gets so little coverage in the media. Fingers crossed for a few reasonable days weather. It doesn't look like we will get a frost for at least 10 days or so, which is remarkably late this year. I suppose you do need frosts eventually to kill the slug eggs and pests off, but preferably when the seed has got well established.
Love your videos, hope the snow didn’t cause you problems
Looked into get a small populations ducks to help with the snail problem? They are total machines when it comes to taking care of slugs/snails.
Harry, did you get the recall for the X5 hybrid? With some cars there is a risk of fire.
question for the farmers and hortacologist.... do plants/flowers, trees or crops get drunk and grow differently when you feed/water it with beer?
@harrysfarm Thanks so much for sharing your work in the farming industry. I'm a longtime follower on your Garage channel, but enjoy these a lot as well. Quick question: have you ever owned or at least used any Lamborghini farm products? I think it's so interesting that the great supercar company started as a farm equipment firm. Would love to hear your thoughts. Take care, and best of luck with the Farm and channels!
Rain , what does that look like, We had out first rain for many many mnths and only 18 mm so dry here in central Qld Australia 🤠🇦🇺
Crazy weather here in the UK
Keep safe this summer mate💪🇦🇺🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing
Harry ... don't forget to do an episode on solar farming. Curious what the issues were / are and how you are going to address them?
what did u put on the barley? diflufenican? that happened to me last year
I live in Somerset. Sadly the farmers here have started cutting their roadside hedges with flails and not hedge cutters. Result is that within a couple of years the wonderful hedges just die back. No idea what it does to them but it is not beneficial.
How many acres arable do you do harry? Claydon drill does a good job, has Charlie washed the combine down yet?
Hi Harry, quick question... Is there not a way to rake your fields to lessen the amount of rocks? Would that be better for your crops or has it really not make an impact?
Would running a destoner over it be feasible or would that impact drainage too much or lead to too much compaction?
Superb Harry. Great to watch but I’m glad I don’t have to bet my livelihood each year on next years crop. Kudos to you and U.K. ag. Need to see and hear more of how U.K. farmers work to increase awareness of our standards vs other countries ag for example USA.
(EDIT: one example regards the oilseed rape, lot of that grown in North America and Canada {canola} but they don’t suffer from the issue UK ag has with OSR namely cabbage stem flea beetle {CSFB} because they are still allowed to use the neo nicotinoid seed dressings that are banned here and in EU. The knock on effect won’t be felt by consumers for perhaps another year when cooking oil prices go through the roof because UK farmers can’t afford to take the chance on OSR anymore!! )
can the stones be removed by grader etc?
Great watching again, if only you had a stone harvester, another crop to sell then, aggregates.
Robert S every time I see Harry's stony fields I always wonder if such a thing exists 😃.
Harry is de - stoning an option on your farm ?
Those stones must take their toll on the drill surely
Richard Herring has an answer to the stone issue.
Thanks Harry. Now i’m into farming instead of cars....
Sometime back I saw a RUclips video that featured a stone picking machine. Might be good for that one field.
Enjoy these farming videos as much as the car videos and I’m not a farmer lol !
It’s difficult. Do you use no till drill?
3:30. Thin end of the wedge. Get ready for 'Animal Farm' if some have their way.
