FARM UPDATE 237 Setting up simba solo, Cultipressing, loading sugar beet & ditching ongoing. 

My heart drops every time the dogs get too close to any moving machinery 😮‍💨 Nice to have an extra episode, Thanks

That cleaner is a nice bit of kit doing a grand job, the land is coming down nicely lets hope it stay dry so you can get on .

I always like watching everything you got going on with the solo machine. Quite a deal.

Cor, we’re getting a lot of Wardy this week! Nice treat for a Friday night on the sofa with a glass of decent red, a bar of chocolate and my lovely cat on my lap! Great footage of the cleaner in operation. Looking forward to Sunday’s video!

Great to see some field work - at last the weather gives you a break.

Great video as usual. Amazing what difference a few dry days makes. If my beet looked anywhere near as clean as yours in the heap I’d load it straight over the side of the lorry - forget the cleaner loader.

Another great, fantastic, interesting, awesome, brilliant, lovely, video. 👌

A great video Andrew nice to see you about to get out on the Land. I look forward to Sunday Video at breakfast 😊

Great video Andrew good see you getting on with the spring work

brilliant as usual , hope the drilling goes well and the weather settles

Cracking update again Andrew, the ground is looking good mate as long as it stays dry so you can get some crops in. We’ve only had 2 dry days here so not much going on still. 😊

Its good to see an improvement in the weather, we tried a short disc last year, disapointed really as couldnt stop them leaving a cut on the one side, had to do it in lands, like conventional ploughing

Well done for being able to get on abit with the land work. Been watching Farmer Stephen on RU-vid and he using a Ropa Maus a Self Propelled Sugar Beet Loader, an impressive bit of kit.

Nice to see a HGV driver with a broom in his hand.

Great Video Andrew, My only concern with the solo is the "split" discs at the front, is suspect the "fast" discs don't need to skill to set them up for level beds, the sugar beet was very interesting, thanks for sharing

Good to see some diesel being burnt getting land ready for sowing. Bottle trick for levels very ingenious

Great video Andrew, good to see the solo working, no doubt your pop to ollys to have a look at his new beast, water ways look nice now they had a clean.

Interesting video 👌

great stuff carnt beat a bonus video

By hook or by crook the spring crops are going in👏💪🚜

The further adventures of Narla.

Hi Andrew We in Australia have started a Senate inquiry into price gouging from the two major supermarkets Coles and Woolworths. Interviews in front of a Senate committee began on Wednesday in Tasmania. Most of us will be invited to contribute incamera and anonymous as not to be picked off by the supermarket buyers in April School packs of apples are being sold for $1 and are on the supermarket shelves for $3.50 and there is a bidding process to be able to supply and only the lowest price is expected by the supermarkets. All sales to supermarkets are below the price of production for every commodity in fruit and vegetables and of course meat. Rural Australian is on its knees. Shooting new borne lambs as there is no feed and the returns if you did will not pay for it. Prices at the sale yards is $3 per head and the fright is $5 per head so you do the maths. We have been receiving $0.66 per kilo back to the farm gate for apples and they are on the supermarket shelves for $7.00 a kg and people can’t afford them. We in Australia may have to take some tips from the French farmers, it is going to get interesting. Regards from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

Andrew did you said that you should barley for animal feed for 40 pounds per ton? in Greece the price for Barley this year was the same for food or animal food it was 160 euros pre ton in UK you have different prices ?

Trainloads of UKR grain were allowed to flood the market to artificially suppress inflation levels.

Ground looks drier than Ollys,forcast rain again on the west side,Cheltenham week can be quite mixed,4 seasons in one day

Great to see you getting the beet away Andrew, what’s your view about the merger between Tate & Lyle and Whitworths ? Will it help or hinder the market as far as growers are concerned that supply British Sugar, maybe you could voice your thoughts on one of your updates Have a great weekend

Liked the spirit levels on the solo, might steal that idea, was it successful ? Shame about the extra culti press pass, what would that cost ? Some times peace of mind has to be considered. No good wishing you'd carried out that extra pass when the combine won't pick up off undeveloped ground. Looking forward to weaving footage. Tine drills don't work for us, too much stone.

$270 ton in Australia pesos is not good coin for barley. It costs around $400 a hectare to grow it here

what do they use all that sugar beets for?

Wrong bucket rake bucket Cutting blade on front hope Angela water been told Defra pay lot drag on diss Pulling a pair turning on Headland she better job Solo go twice let wind dry It out coated seeds rots Got know onions grow Seed's Mr Lincoln Home luquorice bush Great jop

What about the second hand trailer with an auger on it ?? you cut yourself off...

I would suggest Narla’s life expectancy is quite short, she doesn’t seem to respect the heavy machinery

The video finished a bit abruptly you were just about to talk about the trailer with auger ?

Seems you should change from the solo to something else, maybe a vaderstaad top down

Your land is in far better condition than Olly Harrisons Andrew, he driving quadtrack through water in places !!.

Sum land you have ....
