22,000 Acre UK Farm! | Potato Planting 2024 - Elveden Estates

A small glimpse into what goes on during spring on one of the UKs largest arable farms! The Elveden Estate is a 22,500 acre country estate in North-West Suffolk, England. Growing 6% of the UKs onions alongside a large area of potatoes, carrots, wheat, barley, rye and sugar beet the farm runs a fleet of 25 Fendt tractors or various sizes. In this video you can see what goes on during the potato planting campaign from primary cultivations to planting. Enjoy!

Nice easy soil in that part of Suffolk

[@BritishAgriPhotography]

@@themunter4488 yeah it is, only hard part is getting it to hold water in summer 🙈

[@jascollinscork]

WOW cracking video! Some Kit there!!! Fantastic soil too 👌🏻The must do other crops as part of rotation 🤔 AND why not wider spud planters???

[@BritishAgriPhotography]

@@jascollinscork Thanks! Yes they also grow Onions, Carrots, Sugarbeet, Maize, Wheat, Barley and Rye! Having 3 smaller planters means they can be split up if needed to plant a different variety

[@jascollinscork]

@@BritishAgriPhotography oooh right cool cool thanks! What part of England was it OR were they Scotland?

I watch your videos but didn't subscribe but now i subscribed i am also a potato farmer

[@robhardingham6770]

Good shots, maybe a little more engine noise next time?

[@BritishAgriPhotography]

Thanks for the feedback, it’s an area I do want to work on but currently don’t have a suitable microphone!

[@robhardingham6770]

@@BritishAgriPhotography Ok fair enough, thanks for letting us know.

[@chrismarshall45]

Great video but a little less music

[@andrewyoonhobai8453]

weird how one might think its some kind of bad rule, but ends up being the plant that can feed millions. Ever hear of the irish potato famines? That is what happens, when potatoes have disease and going to bed hungry, it is hard to fall asleep and easy to wake up, being that hungry after digesting those calories. You'll all find out what is CG and LG is, when it is not even zombie

[@tractormadfilms]

Does this hurt the potatoes?

[@BritishAgriPhotography]

@@tractormadfilms No! We pride ourselves on our high standards of potato welfare #stoppotatocruelty ✊

[@TheGrimReaper1]

No potatoes were harmed in the making of this photoplay 😊

[@DarrenPhillips001]

When you’re destoning why don’t you take the stones away for other uses like drainage etc & doesn’t it cause problems depositing them in a line like that?

[@BritishAgriPhotography]

@@DarrenPhillips001 Thanks for the question. If we took the stones away the soil would totally blow away, the stones help provide structure. Otherwise a lot of our land would be like a beach. They are placed in a line and just get ran over, but they are away from the growing area of the potato, hope that makes sense?

[@DarrenPhillips001]

@@BritishAgriPhotography thank you for that. Yes I can see the benefits in terms of giving the soil ‘body’. Sorry to be a pain but you’re not redistributing the stone evenly back into the soil after piling them up in a line. Shall I just shut up 🤣

[@BritishAgriPhotography]

@@DarrenPhillips001 no it’s good to have questions… yes they are being put back in a line but once the vegetable crop has finished growing the ground will be cultivated and the stones will soon get mixed up again. We sometimes do have issues with wind blowing away soil of the vegetable beds which have had the stones removed. The farm did trial having stones removed from a field several years ago… you couldn’t tell though the field is just as stoney as ever now!

do you reckon theyd give me a couple acres lmao
