Great video footage Tom The mechanisation in today farming production would make our grandfathers stand in amazement. Old enough to remember hand pulling headlands for a single row harvester to start And a nearly 12 month waiting pay day
It brings a bit of tear to the eye to think about how amazing it is to produce calories from the sun with some clever ideas. Good job Tom on giving some scale and context, and all the people who have got this process figured out.
Young people in schools should be shown videos like this so they understand where their food comes from and I’m sure it would also spark their interest in farming and engineering. Some of those machines are so clever.
As someone who lives in a town it is amazing to see how these foods we eat are actually harvested! Thank you for putting these videos up. Amazing! Can't help but feel if I'd seen this when I was a kid I'd want a very different career!
Great video! More of the general public need to see videos like this to see what goes in to providing them with food and maybe farming wouldn’t be as under appreciated. When you see the machines involved farms are like open air factories
As I'm watching that, I'm thinking that it reminds me of how a CCD image sensor from a camera works. It collects the light, and converts it to stored energy. Then the electric charge is buffered to the edge of the chip and transported away to the central processor for measurement. Then I realised that's exactly what's happening with those sugar beet. Truly incredible process and a totally unique perspective. Very, very cool video!
I'll be honest I joined your channel a few months ago because of Colin Furze, I didn't expect to watch much, but I've watched your videos since and really love them, especially this one with the drone footage. So it's not only a thank you for work you do feeding us but for the great videos. Thank you.
Smashing video tom, space age technology , serious piece of kit, and I know very little about music but that music was lovely, another great video showing how hard working farmers get our good from field to plate.👍
Epic machines need epic music! love it , thanks for sharing Tom. Got some farming sim vibes flying around the vehicles! Hats off to you and the team for all the hard work!
That's an amazing machine. It only serves one purpose to collect and load beets it does the work of 50 men when you think in those terms. Thanks for filming it with a drone in the field, sure is big. Nice one Tom....
Awesome work on the Drone footage really really good enjoy watching this do like watching whatever you have going great full that I look forward in your video
It's just so awesome the machinery that is built. And to think someone came in and put this together. Thanks for the nice video. Plenty people think food comes only from the store.
Some time ago i lived in the city of Groningen in the Netherlands all the farms around the city grow sugar beets. When i lived there there used to be a big sugar factory next to the city and in the weeks/months the factory was turning the beets into sugar there was a strong smell off boiled sugar beets throughout the whole city.
With content like this, it won't be long until Tom's channel is as big as those machines. Nice footage, and great music; resulting in excellent content. It's a Tom Lamb video, he's setting a high standard.
Fantastic video, great drone footage. What comes across so well is the amount of precision involved in the whole operation. I am not sure the military could do better. Well done. 😀
Interesting the way the harvester has the back wheels offset from the front. Is that to spread the load and minimise compaction? We saw you using disk harrows to till some compacted ground near the sugar beet mountain in your last video. There sure is a lot to this farming malarkey.
Thank you for sharing these mechanical marvels with us. What is growing cycle for this crop? What are the economic logistics wrt ownership, rental, etc Do you work as a co-operative with other farmers to maximise use of machines with specific functions
My Mate used to Work for Roger Warners. I use to drive Plant for a company that contracted to British Sugar at their Cantley Factory when I first left the Army in 2000. I operated Loading Shovels on the Beet intake, Pushing up to Pushing in on a Sunday. To remelting Sugar that wasn't up to scratch, which cleaned the Sugar of anything it had wrong with if, so It went back into the system. Nothing is wasted of the Sugar Beet, they even sold the soil that came in on the Beet after it had been washed. Later on I would work of an other Norfolk Haulage Company transporting Beet into Cantley, Bury and Wissington. Roger Warner was the only one at the time to load beet like this. Most still load via screen deck and loading shovel. I also know how Flammable Sugar dust is after creating a cloud of it and a bulb going on a Loading shovel causing it to ignite. I nearly swallowed my seat, and several swear words were uttered immediately afterwards. As I was breaking up sugar so I could then use the Smallest JCB Telehandler they produced at the time to then take it in to Remelt. Watching your video even brought back the smell of Beet. Cracking video.
@@Tomlamb980 if I remember correctly it has a purple tint to it, I think I was probably breaking up Royal Icing sugar at the time as that is the finest of all the processed sugars. The whole process from field to Factory is really fascinating. Especially once it gets into the factory and the various processes and chemicals used to create the end product. We even had our own Lime Kiln to make Milk of Lime and various acids too.
Hi Tom, that is one of the best drone videos I have seen on farming you tube, the music was a brilliant accompaniment, I do sugar beet carting each campaign & i love it, the chaser looked very good , no deep ruts in the mouse run normally made by the tractor & trailers , Well done keep them coming
AMAZING Machines Remarkable Technology BUT Main Cause of Joblessness again BUT it's the Need of the TIME TO FEED BILLIONS You Have to Have these MACHINES 👍👍👍🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰 BEST WISHES FROM PAKISTAN
Vraiment impressionnant la vidéo de cette mécanisation de la récolte de betteraves sucrières . Merci à vous tous agriculteurs de tous les horizons et de tous les pays . De qui est cette musique qui accompagne les images . Merci encore
