As a non farmer, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your hard work and for the education until I found your videos recently I thought all sugar came from sugar cane, I think what yourself and other farmers like Tom pemberton and Olly blogs are doing on Facebook is great for breaking down the barrier between farmers and the public and showing what goes into food production and all the background work that goes into it
Thank you. Check out the links to the farm tours.
Andrew , we do our shopping at Aldi they are selling sugar with a large union jack across the top and a smaller one on the side with the words packed in Britain, I just think this misleading.
Exactly.
Very interesting, the combine tour was excellent. Thank you.
Fantastic result on the 2 videos per week.
As I watch them at lunch during the working week
Food production is going to get very interesting as world volumes diminish due to poor returns and weather.

Thanks for watching from down under.
Next year I may drive past
Our agco rep put in for a job with you and you gave him the job but he moved to Australia his name was David you may remember
He came just for harvest?
Thanks Andrew love the videos. They are so informative please keep up the great work
Excellent video Thankyou for uploading.
Another great video Andrew, really do appreciate your openness and honesty into all aspects of your farming, glad the 2 weekly videos will continue, fingers crossed for some dry weather 🤞🤞
All the best Lee
Thanks Lee.
Some great stats there Andrew , as you say, this spring the weather's just not playing ball. Remember when we used to grow alot of spring barley we used to aim to start drilling around the 4th-9th of March, except 1979 when it was the 19th of April before we turned a wheel, needless to say , it was a poor spring barley harvest with very little straw. Pleased your meeting with British sugar was rewarding. I can only agree with the many other comments thanking you for your time and dedication with these videos, yourself, Olly and many others are doing the industry a great service 👍
Thanks Mark, appreciate your comment.
It always amazes me how you manage to find the time to film and edit etc, hats off to you my friend. 👍🇬🇧
Sometimes it’s challenging!
Really interesting to look back at the rain fall! I was working for (velcourt)Jim epton in 99 just outside skegness! It was very much a stop start harvest! Hopefully other companies that are importing and rebranding will come out in the wash! Great bit of waffle! 👍
😊👍
Hi Andrew the rain we had down here in west wales 4 week's none stop any way a great video as all ways any way take care keep up the good work .
Not a good forecast for the week ahead.
enjoying your updates every week , here in surrey we have had 141mm in march , it will be a day or 2 before we get drilling.
That’s way too much.
Another interesting video Andrew, i had 81mm of rain in Holbeach last month compared 30mm last year.
☹️☹️☹️
Love the videos! My biggest trouble is I struggle for time to watch them! 2 for me is great.
Fuck the rain, glad to see the forecast is better this week.
Hope you get some land work done this week. We have a mountain of it it to do! 🙄
😊👍
Hi, I farm in Central Belgium, we also have got very wet weeks behind us, now they predict some better days, still got to sow our summer barley, spread manure for the sugar beets, etc. But we need a day or 4 minimal to get started without doing to much damage to our soil structure
Our light soils will go this week but our clays won’t go for 2 weeks.
You have a beautiful amazing well developed yard. I hope it gives you many years of enjoyment and productivity
😊👍
Great info on this channel! Thank u and keep up the good work.
Thanks for the update Andrew. Having had the driest February for 30 years it probably followed that March could be the wettest hopefully we'll get a good April and you can crack on with the drilling. The jobs on the combine will no doubt be expensive but probably best done now than on a hot afternoon in September thanks again..
Last 2 winter services have been respectable so this years was always going to be big.
Another great update as usual, yes very wet here in warwickshire ground is sodden, thanks once again for your very interesting videos. 👌👏👍
I love the rainfall records 👍👍🇬🇧
Another great video, good watch for a Sunday morning. I really enjoyed it.
You get about the same amount of rain as where i live in Australia does, yours is just a little more consistent.
That’s surmising, I thought you’d be less.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard I live in what's considered the high rainfall zone. But in my five years of farming I've seen as low as 200 and as high as 1000 last year (average is 600)
Looks like its going to be a big bill if you have everything done on the combine. When I used to do combine checks, some customers would say do everything thats needed. Others, well you soon learnt to check it over with your eyes shut!!!!
🤣🤣 We’ve had 2 years of sub £5k winter services so this will be double that.
Aside from weather do you record growing degree days. Enjoy the videos.
No we don’t.
Hi
Just thought you might be interested as a lad (69 now) I was always told my grandad was one of the first farmers to grow sugar beet in England, he had workers come over from Holland to do the work and the final crop was sent to Holland for processing.
👌😊
Hi Andrew Re the food scandal now it is a criminal investigation it would be nice to see the proceeds of crime act come into play against the directors who will have been aware of the goings on and they have obviously benefited from the antics going on ,Its annoying when you think of all the hoops farmers have to jump through for farm assurance and this can go undetected further along the food chain for years ,Not a nice situation for all the staff losing there jobs
My thoughts too. I can’t understand how this has slipped the net for so long with all the traceability hoops we all have to jump through,
Great video as always and good to see your getting some rain as well as us in North Devon.our “springs “have now broken so ground is really wet. Going to take several good drying days before we can start ant field work.Not great for the sheep farmers lambing either
Good video very interesting, Scary service bill for the combine to come but still good value relative to your cropping area likely! first I've heard of the meat scandal disgraceful.
Great video as usual Andrew but you've moved Cantley across into Suffolk, from Norfolk
Oops!! 🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
Another great video as usual Andrew 👌
2012, What a year, at the time, I was working for a large potato grower up in Yorkshire, planting got off well, then the rain came & kept coming, terrible planting time, seed got puddled in almost, not thinking potato harvest would be the same, most of the potatoes were lifted with a Grimme GT, 2 other Grimme's stepped in to help, one a self propelled on tracks, in end 80 acres were left, conditions and the rots put paid to it. Some of the stores went down, thousands of tonnes rotted, I can still smell the stench 11 yrs later !!, Our corn harvest wasnt much better, combine sinking out of site, tractor/trailers getting bogged down with only 6 tonne onboard...................Fast forward, Tate & Lyle have been pushing their cane sugar of facebook, everyone I saw, I chipped in with Silver Spoon, grown in the UK by UK farmers, few miles to the nearest factory, not many thousands of Tate & Lyle, havn't seen them on FB lately.......
You don’t forget bad years do you!
Very interesting video all round!
great update hope it drys up for ya
Morning Andrew,nice video,intresting rain totals its good to look back on,hopefully weather settling down in nxt week or so👍
Hope fully. Fingers crossed.
Another great video so interesting to see machinery being so well looked after we did the same to ours in the eighties but it was simple MF Combines very straight forward to work on but at times very unreliable
Your farm is always so well looked after, your video are so nice to watch.
Will you be going to the royal Cornwall show this year I may even see you there.
Thank you. Yes, I should be. We have a big announcement regarding Forage Aid and that is one of the launches we’ve planned. We’ll be in the Farming Help stand just opposite the members.
On the sugarbeet could you not get your own samll wash plant to get the soil down to 0% or very near to to this. I guess it all would come down to costs. Buy the machine and the on going running cost for it.
It would t be practical, so much water would be needed and then it would have to be disposed.
264mm here in Cornwall in March.
And 525 for the first 3 months!
Wow, you can keep that!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard too wet to turn out, I've 40 bales silage and 20 odd straw left so getting desperate
Need the unlike button for that.
Glad you are doing 2 videos a week . 1 week is to long without an update
😊👍
Very interesting about the sugar business there Andrew but maintaining these big combines can be frightening
Another great video, In Norfolk from Cantley beet factory they clean out lime sludge from the factory and farmers have it for the fields, i suppose they do the same at Newark, Would it be possible when this process happens we can have a video if it is possible to do so please, I sometimes work weekends with a agricultural contractor and loaded this into spreaders,
They do that at Newark too. We’ve had lots over the years but our PH’s are so good we’ll never need any more.
How long do you normally keep your combines Andrew? As a rule we buy them at ten years old, 15-1600hrs, and keep them another ten years - but we're only cutting 600acres. NH CX760, lovely little combine.
Used to swap after 6/7 years. This will be the longest we’ve kept one.
Same weather here in Ireland. 114mm in March.
☹️
Hi wardy is your farm just before Cranwell in leadenhan as I went past yesterday on my way to Norfolk
It’s 1.5 miles west of Leadenham village on the side of the A17.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard oh right I’ve been driving past for years, always thought it was a nice farm only realised it might have been yours on my way down to Norfolk,keep up the good work 👍
What3words location is combine.wharfs. Spearhead
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard yes thats it such a great farm 😁
Hello Wardy from the Sunny south east corner of Wexford Ireland , our weather in this area hasn’t been as good as yours , we’ve had 75 MM in Jan , 4 MM in Feb & 132 MM in March , some of our friends in the Wexford area have recorded 160 MM ☔️☔️for March . Maybe sometime you will do a video on your weather station , enjoying all your videos.
Will do. Don’t envy your rain!
Fascinating bit about the rainfall figures. Have you tried charting them against crop yields? Not to any granularity perhaps, but as a quick ready reckoner or for spotting patterns it would be interesting if not conclusive to see. Thanks for the waffle. As a non-farmer, but someone concerned about food security all the data you give is great.
I have t, it takes enough time as it is!
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard understood.
Not good for drilling different to last year and + price's are going through the roof ...good morning Andrew 🌄
Need grain prices to rise.
Great update Andrew, wouldn’t want to see the service bill for the NH combine 😢 £££
We’ve had 2 years of sub £5k winter services so this was always going to be double that.
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard hopefully wheat prices increase to support.
Dont buy all those new bearings from your New holland dealer, get numbers off the bearings and get them from a bearing/engineering supplier they will be much cheaper, and probably exactly the same made in the same factory.
Lets hope for a much dryer and warmer April.
They give us big discounts but we do get prices elsewhere.
I hope you kept to the speed limit on your way to British Sugar 🤔😉
Of course!!!!
How will Gene editing distinguish between good/bad pests ? like butterflies and bees
They will breed for individual pests.
Combines seem do around 1500-2000 hrs and need a bit of an overhaul,do you do any of the mechanical repairs in house or all dealership?The Jackson Brother in Australia on You tube have 2, 9080s,one they overhauled the hydrostatic drive and the other a gearbox went on the end of the rotor,had to do some fine tuning to cut linseed,some fields of wheat they were doing 13kph,could hardly see the reel going round,the 2 combines did 1000 acres in 15 hrs
Wow!
I expect your combine would be doing the same tons/hr they have to chase around a field to get it,hydrostatic drive would quite hot by the end of the day travelling at that speed,I have heard the Claas combines on a slope and full tank would struggle to go because the oil was too hot
Using plastic drainage instead of clay isn't very environmental friendly.
That’s all there is now.
