Thank you Farmers, great video.Wish I lived there. Hi from North Carolina. In U.S.A.
Scott Cozart I wish I lived in NC, near Ashville
@@pineapplepissant I'm in boone
Im in Raleigh
Aaaaayyyy NC represent!
Loved the drone footage. Your dad is a "hoot". Cherish him for as long you have him. Blessings
lylskeets he is alright hahah, we have a good laugh on the farm 😀
lylskeets .
Bye hell lads!? That pan top is near on water tight!!! Some right surface slop under that water. Can't wait to see the results!!! ;) Proppa job done there!
Well done and good luck, real blokes at work.
Your filming just gets better and better.. Thank you for all your hard work and thank you for showing us through such beautiful videoing in regards to how your farm operates
Aussie Backyard Farmer Thankyou very much,I try my best and I appreciate the comment 😀

Sorry, I missed the notification from Tom. Thank you for your reply.
Having been a rice farmer at one time, what you need is to go out and survey the field, then plan a little dirt moving, doesn't look like it will require much, based on the drone footage. Then you move a little dirt so that all the ponds have a gentle path to drain off into the ditches. Problem solved, permanently. It takes about a day of tractor/plane work for field like that, And maybe a day to do the survey.
Got to appreciate hard working honest farmers and cattlemen! Where would we be without them.
I can't wait to receive my copy, I felt the emotion as you revealed the very first copy.
Tom Pemberton, Farmer RUclipsr, Author, but more importantly an all round Nice guy.
Well done Tom.
Thanks for the lesson always wondered how that was dealt with.
Excellent video and explanation of what you have to do, - don’t ever fall out with your old dad, it is a very precious thing being able to work together - good to see.
Fantastic use of your drone, what a brilliant way of being able to keep an eye on your fields, cattle. Modern technology in action. Thanks for showing this video Tom.
Trevor Jarvis Thanks Trevor, we don't really. We just have a laugh with each other 😀
Good practical wisdom, we need more of this
That's something new to me I have two friends who are farmers but they don't have any big animals they did not tell you have to do this driving like that through water I'd just love that job! great video I will look out for more.
Hi Tom and andy pem serious water problem never as bad when i worked for Andrew and big grandad john 30 yrs ago? Too many houses being built or damage from growing maize in the past probably to high in magnesium causing tight soils
love the footage and we do the same thing in Australia. Normally we run it through after summer as it shatters the clay pan (different weather to you guys!) The water lying around won't cause compaction due to its own weight as the only pressure on the ground is the height of the water eg. 2" of water = 0.07 psi. Keep up the good work
the pan is usually the layer of hard compacted vegetation resting on the subsoil that doesn't get broken up by ploughing.
but mainly it is caused because the subsoil has no food for worms so they do not drill holes into the subsoil.
also grass doesn't send roots deep like alfalfa does.
the pan is what causes dustbowl lands.
Thanks for sharing this video .
I enjoyed that............Thanks for posting it!
Your video work and making the drone footage ate brilliant. Really adds value to the vids. And great job to you dad!
Lwest Thankyou very much, I try. He's a good one that father of mine 😀
Hey, Miss the farm life. Love seeing this footage, drone and in hidef. Keep up the good work and sharing some of your farm life skills and techniques. Cheers from America!
Scott Allen it's a great life to have 😀 Thanks mate, appreciate the comment!
Awesome father and son team!
You know, if we had farmers running the world we all would be better off. And better fed.
And Less BIG PHARM!!! Its all about the local stuff. I try telling that to some of my friends but they don't understand that these small famers are being swalled up or run out of business by BIG PHARMA. I myself used to work on an Organic Dairy Farm in CA.

Comment of the YEAR !!
So what if small farms are getting swallowed up to run a big far it costs millions but will also make millions if there were only small farms us people from the uk would not come over to do the 2000 mile harvest and the Great Plains would slowly collapse
We would all be dead
Good video Tom we were out slurrying on Tuesday with a 2000 gallon tanker first time this year. We had to get the contractor with the umbilical now we have foot of snow. Big problem with pipes freezing 😬
Peter Brady I could imagine, we have been spreading abit when we can. It's just time at the moment. A lot of pipe frozen aswel
Great video so interesting must find the after video now keep the videos coming and Happy Farming
Love the video Tom. Great idea, your dad's one smart cookie. Let me guess he got to play in the mid and water, and you got to wash it. Lol do you think you'll have to reseed any of those spots. My area is mainly corn and wheat and beef cows. Alot of no til. I've noticed over the years more low spots where water stands, wonder if it's that same problem like your having ( just a random thought) really enjoy your videos especially when your dad's in em. He ain't shy in front of the camera at all, and I love listening to his knowledge. Thanks again tom
kory league Thanks Kory, he is pretty good in front of the camera. Probably where i got it from. Yeah I pretty much clean everything hahah
Like others, I just came across your channel while reaching "Micro trenching for Fiber cable" and after been raised in Ireland, right in the middle of farming land (Co.Cork) your channel is fantastic.. Unfortunately after a trip home a few weeks ago I was so shocked and disappointed to see nothing but abandoned building sites, and just nothing but new houses built (or at least on or two of them finished) where all my old farming friends used to work the land... You have a definite subscriber here..Keep up the great work, and the really good videos that show just how smart and hard working our worlds farmers really are 10/10
25 Lives Thank you very much 😀
Good man Tom we are heavy ground farmers u have better land love your videos some of our land has mud and d rest is limestone but soil is heavy
Awesome drone work!
I used to have to play rugby on fields like that. Was mental, u get tackled in the water nd suddenly its like u been swimming
Funnest way to play
Your camera is very clear looks HD great job.
you know i did not grow up on a farm but this is surely the next best ! Thanks so much for bringing the love of nature and life into this poor poor world ! soon we can fix all the places that are just plugging the system. god's system. have a perfect day and best wishes there on that slice of heaven !
Sonny Moon 😀
Good luck with drainage issue. Pan must be shallow to use the single blade plough. 🍀🍀
I have stood in a field i had sub soiled that had not been done for years and I could hear the water moving ,a sucking type sound.single shank i.h. Sub soiler
Fantastic Video Tom!
Henri's Farming Photography Thanks Henri 😀 good luck with your channel mate
Hmm I have the same problem in spring with the yard. Grading the ground would help alot for me. Oh you didn't want me to know.
Good job. Very clever.
Beautiful drone shots & nice music. Well done. Hope your drainage plan works.
Norman1951 Norman Thanks Norman 😀 so do I, fingers crossed 🤞
Just what I need !!
I love the first half of the year
The old boys right,, going across the grain, so to speak, will catch some hard ground. and drain the water off better. U just need to reach into some sub soil and it will drain away, are farm has no ponds, ditches, just clay very early,, we regularly pulled two tractors chained up for extra power to break threw the hard stuff, and away the water would go.
Love the aerial view!
Rod M Thankyou Very much 😀
Good work! Instantly subbed :)
Outstanding update
You could add gravel bands. It really dose help.
how could you not love just sitting there, operating that tractor all day. no stress.
Never heard of "mole plough". It seems to me that this plough is not going deep enough.for such situations i use subsoiler wih "ball" on the end of knives. At depth 50-65 cm.
As a connoisseur of tractor pulls iron through mud videos this one is great. Well photographed, explained and with good music. Know any way to drain spring fed wet spots?
To clear water you need a drop of 15 degrees from the horizontal. Good luck with that given your flat fields.
Having a revolving Plug on the bottom makes a big difference rather than a fixed end too, we have one on our farm
That field looks like great fun to go hooning a 4wd truck through...lol
I miss farming soo much, but no money in Labouring so went down a different road 😔
I love your choices of music you use. Please tell and upbeat.
Mary Dorr I absolutely love the music too. Very tropical.
excellent video!
I've never seen the land so wet in my Somerset orchards as this Spring, but I don't think mole-ploughing will help because there are no land drains to remove the water and the water table is so high. Good luck with your land, Tom.
Your dad is a natural on RUclips!
Well done,, when ye are finished come over to Ireland for a few days... Not for a holiday,,, bring on that machine...😂😂
We were lucky to be on a hill farm no flooding but was beautiful another great video keep them coming
Catherine Winder you are lucky but when grass does grow. It's grows fast. It's swings and roundabouts. Just have to deal with what you have got 😀
Tom Pemberton Farm Life do you get much snow got snowed in alot though. Always got the milk out.
Yes if u go a cross is wheels will rip the tops up going up and down is better and the water will find it coarse to the drainage an away it will go
lambo power! ps: excellent idea to drain the water!
Pans are also a by product from spreading slurry.....Ariel view of your fields are neath...do ye plant any wild flower or do anything for the fire and fauna
Learned something, ty
What a feel good video. Best of luck to you and your family. p.s. your dads a natural video star :)
Thankyou very much 😀 I'll let him know 😄
Have you tried roto drains? We use those on the west coast of New Zealand where it's constantly wet
Decided to watch this today how the ground now could we ha e another vlog on it please ?
468th! GOOD AFTERNOON TOM AND THE GINGER WARRIOR WITH A MUSTACHE! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA 😮😊❤🎉😊
Only real men know where the wet spot's are 😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻
brushrescue1701 hahahah I have a video to do, I think you will laugh a lot when you see it
Ya,throw flour at her or if shes too big use the ute to roll her in it.dampatch city😂😂😂
brushrescue1701 lmao
Tom Pemberton Farm Life just subbed guys
Do metal detecting
Up in scotland
Have farms to do
My hobbie on
Respect the work
Yous put in guys
Just subbed 👍
I'm a real man ..and to me it appears to be in the middle of the field 😃
I like your videos tell your Dad hello from Kentucky USA.
Hope you marked it out so you can add soil to raise the grade...i think adding is easier than digging, you already did the drains..
Maybe a nice cleanup with a land leaving rig in a year or so could help, dissent look like a lot of yardage. Here in the mississippi delta we set our fields to a few inches drop going away from the well pipe.
Great video Tom, hopefully it stays dry
Layton Phillips Thanks Layton, hopefully fingers crossed 🤞
Great idea an great footage. Hope it works
HS AGRICULTURAL SERVICES Thankyou very much, so do I 🤞
Just shows the experience your dad has, if that was me driving into them wet spots I'd have her buried Into the axle in seconds!!!! keep up the good work
Niall Gilmore hahah yes the same with me maybe. He just loves it and getting rid of water
trying to loosen the soil under the plough whilst compacting the soil under the tractor wheels
Use a
Branch of a sally tree in a “Y” shape with the leg of the Y pointing to the ground. It will lead you to where the water is. Works a dream
John Coughlan we do that with a lot of wet spots at home, it's works but I would rather the water leave 🙈
FYI Dads dont get stuck in the mud!!! Thats why Dad drive. Lol great video excellent work
Dave Perry hahaha
The end is missing at the end of the spike which makes the hole a decent size 🤔?
I’m the USA we call that a subsoiler. This is also a problem if you have a pasture that has had or has many cattle or horses on it. I had standing water all over and run off since my all my pastures have a gentle 5-10 degree slope toward the ponds/creek until I started running a sub soiler across the pasture at a right angle to the slope. Why is there a license plate or number plate on your tractor? Is that required where you are?
The Ginger Warrior in the Silver Arrow, a great combo, hope the beast from the east and Emma did not cause too much bother for ye in the milking parlour Tom:)
Hahahah go on the ginger warrior, it's not been to bad just bitterly cold
I hope you are successful in draining your land !
welshpete12 Thankyou very much 😀 me to 🤞
welshpete12 iii
I bet that drone was a game changer , being able to see your land from that view .
Get farming !
Farmers have got farmer-strength so don't mess with them!
Nice job!
ZS Surikova Thankyou very much 😀
would like to have seen the results
His turns are spot-on lovely
Joe Hoene he does a really good job my father 😀
I like this here and on facebook. I also shared your facebook page so we will see if you can get some more people. Have a good night.
Shane Lamell Thanks Shane, myself and the family appreciate it 😀
Can you dig s trench put drainage pipe under gtound like other chsp or more than one would it work or is it judt too much water he used grsvrl too in how yo dry out s wet field.imgine being able go collect all that water And using; it on thecfsrm Fsrmhow many tank fills that is.
Hey I found you guys by chance when your vid popped up on suggested. We had a very similar piece of of gear on the potato farm I worked on as a teen that was called a "sub soiler". It was the same idea as yours but it pulled a 8" diameter by about 12" long bullet shaped plug of steel connected by a couple of links of chain. But we would back it into the ditch and start pulling from there right into the puddles so the water would pour into the channel it created in the ground and then flow straight out to the ditches. Within seconds we had a full stream of water shooting out the exit hole in the ditch and as you pulled threw the puddle the water would just disappear. Thought you might be interested. Have a great day.
Thats exactly how I was taught in th 1960s
similar effects but with him having drains he doesn't wash away soil and fill his own drainage ditches at the cost of a few weeks time for the water to seep through
That is how it should be done otherwise the water has nowhere to escape,. It just fills the mole hole making for a mud bath instead of running out of a mole drain and away into a ditch. If the ditches are clean the water should drain away into a river. If the river is up and the ditch cannot clear water out then the process of mole draining is pointless because the water table is too high and no amount of drains will take the water away. Though I suspect you know this already.
Awesome..
DigitalAwareness Thanks 😀
whats the name of the music???
I enjoyed that.whens the update?
And u should have bought a case 😀👍
Jules Benelli we have two really old case's haha, soon I think, late this week or next 😀
Great video was wondering how you were for getting rid of those massive puddles
Farming In HD puting the mole plough though mate, hopefully they will go
Here in Thailand, people have been leveling their rice fields for thousands of years by buffalo and then two-wheeled walk behind tractors. They level, flood, plant, and irrigate.
I have no idea why I found that interesting ! I would worry about digging up some drain tiles, but I guess you guys know how deep they are.
eric wsmith pretty much, dads put all the drains in himself over the years so he knows they are deeper than the mole plough can go 😀
Great picture 👍
What camera is that 👌🍻
Fascinating stuff mate! Nice video. Could I maybe suggest getting a clip on microphone to help with your outdoors commentary?
Keep up the good work! 👍
TheSaintST1 Thanks mate? Yeah I'm going to have to invest in one it's just the cost currently. With GoPro you need about three thing to get a microphone to work 🙈 I'll get it done though
Great video
Jack Cliffe thank you very much 😀
Tom Pemberton Farm Life you welcome
Mole drains work on a slight incline, and need to take that water to a ditch, not just round and round in circles. I'm not sure that your fields are suffering from intermittent areas of clay pan.
Nice video
SpringRuiter Thankyou very much 😀
Pretty sure what he was meaning is the drains run parallel to each other. If you run against that if deep enough there goes you're drain
Why not install subsurface drainage if there is a deep enough ditch or stream bank to drain the water to rather than rut the field and compact the soil even more?
