I never thought there would come a day where i listen to some guy saying "Just having a look at dad's manhole" and i would not break out in uncontrollable giggles.
You can not drive pass the HIghlands squeal say "What is happening there??" and then leave us in the lurch, that was just evil of you LOL. Awesome video though and yes a drainage video with Dad would be fun to see.
Giving credit where it's due, just the quick look was enough to let us all know that, despite the age, I must say that your dad has a _tremendous_ manhole! Congratulations, Bravo, and Mazel Tov!
When you said it needs a little more weight it brought back some memories of my dad. I was the weight lol. We had a pretty large veggie garden when I was younger. When disking or plowing I sat on the implement and held on to the welded on handle. Looking back... probably not the safest thing but it worked. I miss those days of gardening with my dad.
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the password. I would love any tips you can offer me.
@Holden Howard I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
15:09 You can just see the thoughts in his head on his face 🤣🤣 "Oh f**k have I broken it?!!! My dad's gonna kill me!!! Aaaaaaa, oh what do I say to camera ?!!" That was hard
Great work Tom, I'm currently harrowing slitting and fertilizing our grasses, just need a little rain now in York it's very dry! Love to see people putting in the effort sorting drains etc, keep up the good work 👍
Your videos really have a feel good factor to them. Tom you are such an enthusiastic and joyful person. Been watching a while now (since you put down the astroturf track). The quality of your vids and your farm is coming on so much. Much love to you the family and all at the Pemberton Farm.
Would love to see the smile on THE GINGERS face when he sorts the drains and say I TOLD YOU SO that would be great another great video Tom keep them coming
Hi Tom, just to say you have had a busy time on your farm now that spring has sprung and I hope that what ever it was that you saw in the Highlands pen is something wonderful and anyway I will look forward to seeing your next video.
Your dad is 100% correct, if you stop, put the hand/park brake on every time. and I think it would be safer dropping the boom/jib on the manitou to ground level as well. 'Danger never takes a day off'
Anyone would think you are talking yourself into robot milkers. Also don't need to get some more trainees to take over from Heidi, they will take 6 months to get up to speed and you will need 2 to make up for all the brilliance that is Heidi.
I saw an add where you was having a new shed and looking at alternatives like Robots. Why not try different parlor yours is a swing over Alfa DeLaval Blue diamond 90-degree rapid-exit 24-cluster parlour. We all know money don't grow on tree's but very good parlor once 1 cow finishes next one is in and easily expand herd to 500 and more on that parlour. You guys are brilliant by the way very family oriented cant get any better.
You could see a difference already on the field once you’d finished it can’t wait to see what it looks like in a few weeks. We recently extended our drive and discovered one of those brick built man holes about 3 feet down under tons of dirt and covered with plywood needless to say we got a new proper cover for it
Tom, when you’re doing jobs like slitting, I’d love to see a go pro shot mounted on the slitter or something to see it in action! Great work as always though!
Awesome as always of course I love all your content and the education from The ginger guy with the moustache. That little lamb had you going LOL Such fun!! :)
Hi Tom, the shows talking about the water control measures on the farm where your water table is so high it can't help but cause issues. Thanks for the great content 👍
Don't worry about turning into your father. It's what sons do... just thank God every day you had a good example to turn into. Too many kids these days have terrible examples to turn into or non at all around to teach them how to be a GOOD father. Cheers my friend to you and the Ging
Great video. Loved to learn about the pros and cons of grazing vs chopping or bailing. Also interesting to hear about the similarities between your grass process on the farm and one I'm trying in my own garden lawn; Aeration, dethatching, over seeding. Obviously all about the same thing. Good grass.
Great video. Those Jacobs lambs are so cute. Never thought anyone would need to check dad's manhole in a farm field but here we are. Definitely got me laughing. Glad to hesr that the Ginger guy found the drains & got them flushed out. Heres hoping the field drains really well now. Have a great weekend.
Hey Tom what you need to catch that lamb is one of the new modern day shepherds crook that you can catch them by the leg as well as a hook that catches them around the neck. Look for that your local feed store. At least they have them here in the US don’t know about the UK.
Just a tip I don't know if you'll find it useful but if you do headland turns with the harrows down I find it breaks the links a lot easier and messes up the harrows. At least it did on ours last year but that couldve been because the ground was like concrete its not been so bad this year but when I do headland turns I lift em up just to avoid a bollocking from the boss 😂
I wanted to tell you to look at. Sask Dutch kid his family just built a new barn a year ago. They went with no robots and no auto clean floors. Can't remember reason's why but you can look it up or get in touch with Jon (yon). Could be very helpful, also what are you doing for beds? Keeping the ones you have now they seem to be working. Also could you draw a pic of the farm with your previous land and rented land and blogs you have now and then show your new land and rented land with the house the new barn, and bldg leggy so we can really see where everything is compared to the house and store. So happy for you
I can't believe how wet it is there we are over near York and has dryed out and praying for rain 🌧️ will be like last year hard frost's and minus 3 every night for last two weeks things are going backwards
When is the new cow house going up Will you be keeping us updated on the progress of the build that would look good on a timelapse maybe you could do a special after it’s finished I love watching your RU-vid clips as I’ve always wanted to be a farmer from the age of a child and unfortunately I have become a bricklayer totally different haha
Loser here. Never farmed a day in my life... but I get sooooo excited when I see the first till in the spring fields. I love to see the great chunks of earth AND the smell of fresh dirt! Pretty strange for a city girl huh? So go on about your drains and manholes. GET EXCITED!! I for one fully understand.
Great Video tom did ye do a soil test on the field it probably need lime and the p and k are probably low soil test will tell ye whats its lacking in in soil deficienties.
Hi Tom, at the 20:10 point in your video it shows a beautiful home in the back ground. I don't believe that's part of your families property but could you tell me if that is indeed a someone's home or maybe a nursing or retirement home? Looks absolutely gorgeous.
I am interested in the business side of farming and how the contractors are paid, i.e choppers by the acre and whatnot. I am a bit of a business nerd so please don't hold back on that. Cheers on the great vids!
