- Lots going on this month with the crops getting closer to harvest time, the restored stone wall is going up quicker than expected and the cattle are back on the farm.
The dry stone wall is absolutely beautiful. A proper job, as they say.
Agreed, it looks wonderful, as does the metal fencing. There's a lot Harry and I probably won't agree on yet I am happy he's happy with his fence and wall. As for this stewardship of the environment, I can't escape the feeling it's 'fiddling whilst Rome burns' - wildlife is continuing to crash, and we're all the poorer for it. Who would've thought sparrows would be on the endangered list 40 years ago?
It is a really fine job ...but maybe costly??
I'm not a farmer but it's interesting to follow this program !!!
Those red cattle look superb in the green pasture and the stone walls keep up your British heritage its just lovely
Three point linkage that holds the rake on the back your tractor was one of the great safety innovations in farming and has been around for an amazing 70 odd years. Invented by the wonderful Harry Fergusson ,of tractor fame, this device is so simple yet stopped one of the deadly incidents of tractors flipping over when a heavy load was hung on the rear. Used still all around the world today it probably has saved the life of many farmers.
Designed by an Ulsterman. You can still go to the original farm where he was born. He was also into aviation.
I look forward to the next annual installment of Harry's Farm " My combine is broken again"
Welcome in the life of a farmer. In the shed these things don't break down, but once in the field with some slight pressure from the weather forecast... 😭
belt up, lol
Do you mean when he has to get the Project 7 "courier wagon" out again ?
It only breaks once a year...
This time I hope he doesn’t get his fingers squashed again! Go careful Harry!!!😱😵💫😀😀😀😀
My wife and I love country walking and we're always respectful of the farmer's crop, but we understand little about modern farming.
Thanks for explaining the things that are going on, on a modern farm.
and for so many
Nice look at the hahaand fields, thanks. Closing in on 100k subscribers, well done 👍
" let's make lots of money " well done Harry Metcalfe ( WE NEED YOU AND FARMERS LIKE YOU )
That estate fencing with the cattle behind it reminds me of my Grandad's farm so much. I used to love summer holidays spent helping with all the jobs.
Harry, regarding the problem tree and your wall take a look at the work of an artist called Andy Goldsworthy and the stone wall he did at Storm King in New York USA. Using a rubble of stones from cleared fields he wove his wall through and around the mature trees at the edge of the field. Sort of like humans bending to nature instead of the other way around. A beautiful effect.
Nice to see the dry stone walls repaired, tidy work from a top tradesman, I often look at building work carpentry,masonry,plastering on old buildings hand made estate gates and walls even old laid hedges and pollarded trees and wonder when it was done and what the tradesman looked like who built it. The work left behind by long gone tradesman are memorials to them. You don’t have to be famous to leave your mark on the world.
Harry, thanks for another interesting video. The stone wall is so pleasing to the eye. Texture and colour is superb. Obviously the fellow who fixed the wall is well skilled.
Does anyone else find themselves looking out for estate fencing after these videos?!
Brilliant videos as usual Harry, and really great to see some seriously talented chaps doing the walls and fencing.
See a lot of it about over the Welsh border here in Shropshire.
Stanley has grown since we last saw him. Fascinating video as usual.
Never ceases to amaze me how many townies watch this show furthering their countryside knowledge, nice to see .This morning I was out there were 2 of them exercising wild off the lead dogs in an old over wintered stubble which had three covey's of wild English partridges on it ,they had not a care or thought for wild life in the world .
Great explanation of mounted and trailed machinery for those viewers who don't know
Harry: "Soon be harvest time"
Combine spares dealer: "excellent!" * rubs hands together enthusiastically *
I was wondering this too the other day….how much will the lack of use cost??!
😂😂
@@simes205 lack of use? Do you expect him to have a harvest every week?
Brilliant channel and enjoyable videos, looks like a lot of hard work and worry. Thank you for sharing
would love to meet you harry one day amazing place you got sir all looks fantastic the wall is work of art
Another fascinating update. Looking outside just now you can tell harvest time is fast approaching - the weather has taken a turn for the worse!
Rain now will fatten the grain ?
and a new dimension added to all the others you provide about farming :- the visual aesthetics of crops; all the best for 100k subscribers.
Has to be about the best time of the year. Everything so lush and green.
I love the updates Harry, I’ve learnt so much about crops and the struggles farmers face. Personally I think you and Clarkson should present Countryside - just a thought.
Struggles ? Hahahaha
I couldn’t agree more.
The fencing looks very smart. It reminds me of the iron fencing on the farmland on the Leverhulme estate on the Wirral. That has a curved top to stop sheep hopping over.
The fence look superb my childhood vision of a farm was a farmer leaning on a fence looking at his sheep or cows on a summers morning and that looks like the kind of fence I imagined.
Lovely to see someone properly maintaining, and improving, historic architecture
Nice looking Cattle, they look impressive with their horns, I see 1 managed ta keep them ( nice 👌)
Big investment but absolutely worth it ,Love the estate fencing and stone walling 👌
Stanley living his best life, with dad on his farm. Supervising on the creatures and everything!
It's crazy to me that your Farm channel hasn't smashed through 100K subs. Excellent presentation and I feel better educated with every topic you share. The topic of British, if not global, farming should be of interest to us all in times of phenomenal change in how we source our produce and how we keep British farms afloat. I'll keep sending friends links to your content, Harry. Cheers.
Brexit and the tories(harry's chums) are causing UK farming to be destroyed, as per their economist Minford's predictions.
Cheap poor quality imports will destroy them further thanks to dodgy trade deals.
But they knew what they were voting for 🙄
I was wondering why your estate fencing seemed to finish in the middle of the field, Harry. I now see that you have a ha-ha continuing on from it, to keep the cattle in. The farm is looking exceptionally green and pleasant - positively bucolic - now with all the improvements, especially the resurrected stonewalls.
Don’t panic Mr Mainwaring harvest only six weeks away,
There’s always seams loads to do before harvest
Walling is amazing real artwork take the thorn out over
time it will push the wall over. Enjoyed the video cheers Harry 👍🚜🐂
Love the fencing and the wall Harry. They will last a long time.
Love the cattle and the new fencing.
Mad respect for farmers, miners, factory workers, etc. It's the century about people who make real things vs. central banks that print dollars from a keyboard.
Would love your take on the new agricultural policy. I.e. rewilding reductions, greenhouse crop production, etc.
Harry, I like Stanley your dog, he fit´s well into the farming job!
I Love your 2 channels, Harry. Great content. Keep em coming;)
A fascinating video as always, you cover so much ground in such a short time.Thanks for the stone wall update, I look forward to seeing that project completed.
Great update Harry.
Well done Harry ,helping to keep the old traditions alive, really enjoy this and harrys garage vids👍
Excellent video Harry, the stone wall looks brilliant, hope you have a wonderful jubilee
Again, a really enjoyable episode so thanks for taking the time to make this. Really excellent.
Thank you Harry, very informative into modern farming methods using less chemicals, in my day we had lot more choices into what we used !
Grass meadows can be over seeded with wild flower, which requires low fertility in comparison to other crops and improves the taste of meat from such meadows. Other crop fields need tilting to the boundary to maintain national production and keep fertiliser rates down,
Farmers choices understandably
Are driven by grants,etc.
These comments being based on this type of Cotswold
Land.
He loves ves that fence!
Great update Harry. Really good to learn some of the problems faced with arable crops that to the untrained eye look ideal.
Stanley filling out well and looking good.
Been waiting for an update. Felt like one was due. Perfect!
Excellent vid Harry
Always look forward to your videos Harry. Keep up the great work you do 👍
I'm a white railings guy myself - but I must admit the black fence makes it all look stupendous.
As much as I enjoy the cars Harry, I have to say the new fence, seems to have an endearing quality of beauty and simplicity that will outlive the cars..
Informative therapy…as per usual. Thanks Harry😎👍🏻
Keep em coming harry.
Great to have such a good communicator giving the farmers point of view. Ps I love the fence
That is a lovely fence. Good looking cattle as well.
Thanks for the warts and all farm walk Harry 👍
fence looks great, good on you for getting that done
that is looking good Harry. We have been hammered here in Australia with heavy rain (over a metre in places) so the grain prices may go up even further.
Jesus, time is going so quick. It only felt like yesterday I was watching the farms 2021 harvest.
Well, I mowed my lawn this week! Looking forward to a new episode of 'Harry's Combine'! Happy Jubilee from Canada, Harry and family!!
I'm surprised that this most informative channel only has 96k subscribers .
Spectacular. LOVE the content, all the way to Naples Florida!
Sell the barley with 10% wheat to a beer brewery. It would make a great beer!
Many thanks Harry. Thoroughly enjoyed it as always.
Really interesting, we walk a lot through the countryside and never realised farming is so technical - Recent subscriber and looking fwd to learning a lot more. Thanks!
Your farm looks amazing great Wall job
the steel fencing with the beautiful gate with cattle just is fab
Harry you have the gear to plant wild annual flowers on just one field spray boundary , wonder would the great increase in pollinators then result in increase wheat yields. ? It would shut up many continuous winter wheat critics and give bees a patch work across thousands of acres of dark green visually dreary wheat. ( Now I see you are doing your bit , nice one !)
Thanks for the great video Harry, really enjoyed it, have a good week
Thanks for the videos. I am no farmer but I buy their stuff :-) so I am interested in how their work is going. Best of luck on crops
Nice bull terrier 👍🏻
Always interesting informative and enjoyable thanks Harry ciao
the dry wall and metal fencing look great.
Thanks Harry. Always interesting.
Really enjoyed you video
The stone walls are great. Thats one thing you seldom see here where I live in central Ohio. I live around the largest Amish communities in the world, and it is something to see how they farm with the horses pulling their plows and cutters. We also have some of the largest dairy farms in the USA here. Some milk over 400 cows three times a day. Love both your channels Harry.
Thanks again Harry, lovely content
Big fan of the saler cattle. I have been breeding them the last few years. Really suited for an organic farm.
With the tree conflict with your lovely new wall; I'd stop short either side and build a nice rugged looking wooden post and rail fence maybe with a climbing step over or a little picnic covered morning tea area. It would look great under the tree. Or a little storage weather proof box for stuff you'd like left in the paddock. Nice farm.
Oh and by doing that you would get back some stone to patch other areas.
Gosh i love watching these videos. Thanks Harry
Happy the farm is going smoothly. It is such a complex matter which requires good weather that is out of one’s control. It’s amazing when things seem to be going so well. Cheers.
The weather is good this year so far, no extremes, which given the general situation globally is a blessing.
envy your life Harry.....I really do....fast cars..touring Europe..excellent farming business etc.........love it mate!
.....bloody love that gate! The estate fencing is such a wonderful "transparent" way to fence off a field. I am about to start a job with the Rural Payments Agency. Interested to hear any opinions/experience you may have had with them. Cheers
This mornings rain will have done wonders for the bird feed mix!!
All coming along nicely.
In my opinion the best way to get rid of wild oat is just get a few helpers, some hessian sacks and rouge it out by hand , keep doing it year after year to stop seed dropping back to the soil
Makes you feel seasick!
Cracking video chief
Fence and wall both fantastic. Cheers
Good luck getting to 100k before harvest! Love this channel!
Pull up a seat. Spend hours - tune out everything but looking at the cattle the green grass and that nice fencing
Always enjoy your narration.
Because of the shortage of wheat and barley this year, I don’t think you will have much of a problem to sell the mixed grains, you should still get a very good price, just not as astronomical as if it was a one grain harvest.
Great video Harry, it's been a great year so far for crops, but that applies to everything else - thistles and weeds have gone mad as well and poor maintenance of road margins is causing a bit on an issue.
Another fine video Harry.
Wish you luck on your crop klickt on at the bottom hope you reach the number you need amazing all the best Harry from Gary 👍
Adding about the thing with sustainable farming and keeping the food chain with us !!
Your crops are looking good Harry
I love fresh glyphosate on my barley!
Really nice video thank you.
