Full credit to you all Lorraine, such great work you all do and especially yourself for taking the time to share the harsh realities and the good times with all involved with farming. Some hours punched in and diesel burned this week. All of you involved and your families, stay strong, stay safe, look forward and carry on doing what you do best x
Fair play Lorraine it takes some organising to keep an operation like that floating. It’s been very challenging for every farmer financially fiscally and emotionally but us as farmers we will be here come the first of January ready to do it all over again
Thing is you and your staff shouldn't have to dig deep or deeper than they ever have! Tiredness causes accidents and prolonged pressure mental illness. You, Gerry and Farmer Phil have a great opportunity to raise awareness and galvanise support for action to change things. The public watch these channels and are supportive, when they see what's really happening they will support action!
Hi Lorraine your videos are brilliant and you show them what is actually happening on farms I had a dangerous corner of my field and I looked for permission to move it as it was quite dangerous for the silage cutting I was told by the department of agriculture to cut silage somewhere else total disregard for health and safety also my neighbour had a wicked bull asked could he bring him to the factory he was told to put him a secure house the question is who was going to take him out of the house keep up the good work Lorraine love your videos 😅
I get the push back on slurry bans unfortunately they were bought in for a reason. Rushing at back end is hard work, at the end of the day attitudes and practices need to be changed, slurry needs to be stored and spread in the growing season. Labour and machinery need to be managed so people aren't pushed as hard, working more hours isn't the answer. I know I'll get hate for this.
All farmers should spread slurry this week as a protest to show soldarity against the numbheads who devise and enforce these illogical nonsenseical rules
