24 hours as an English Farmer

[@maxstirner8717]

The shot where he crossed the stream on his four wheeler with his dog was awesome!

[@HyperionNyx]

Holy fuck that weather literally sums up the UK's weather in a nut shell.

[@HyperionNyx]

Foreigners in the UK often get depressed after living here a while because of the weather, no joke.

[@olivier2787]

im polish, i live in yorkshire, it rained today, so i became sad

[@telclivo7945]

You mean the weather in the North of the UK. Down south, its too bright for me. Luckily I live in Yorkshire.

[@roothik]

That's a beautiful natural landscape.

[@Aritul]

It's stunning.

[@ellenandmoon]

This landscape is sooooo incredibly beautiful! I'd love you to go back there in summer and do another video of the farming live.

[@uchihadante77]

It`s nice to see that there are still places like this and people like him. I would really like to live in Yorkshire.

[@Pituophis666]

It's refreshing seeing back-to-basics farms instead of massive factory farms.

[@Moock91]

That looks awesome! The place, the life * _ * Plus just look at that quad-riding dog!

[@Aritul]

Yeah. This area looks amazing.

[@drefir42]

Its as if the man in the previous video is stuck in the past and is pushing for his children to live a "first world" lifestyle with its technological aspects, and the man in the second video is in said "first world" and is backing away from those same technological aspects. I think it turned out great to upload these two in a row, similar lines of work but very different environment, tools and cultures. I felt the end was particularly good, the herder from Cameroon is hoping his kids will get an education and do something different, as if he's hoping they have a better life with a "first worldish" modern lifestyle. But over in the "first world" the farmer wants to go more back to the old ways and hopes to conserve the traditions of his family.

[@ldekker97]

The grass is always greener on the other side...

[@TheLoyalOfficer]

+Lianne Dekker Especially the side where the cows are! LOL

[@jjc5475]

+Lianne Dekker best saying ever :D dutch?

[@ldekker97]

john pardon Yes :)

[@artistformerlyknownas7585]

+Marlon Bas yeah, and I would also really like them to do an interview with the industrial farmer or at least a crop farmer because the concerns are so different

[@Aritul]

This area looks absolutely stunning.

[@thedarknight5714]

Wow. That was really well-produced.

[@xomyrsvidsxo]

I'm from Yorkshire and it's fucking brilliant

[@migara1]

+will vickers your accent is not

[@TomAlgie]

Lovely, well shot video of Malham, above Settle where I used to live. This sort of farming and the farmer is incredibly important to the landscape. I now live in a similar landscape in the south of France with a few more trees. The farmers here are equally great. Thanks for the video.

[@benaaronmusic]

You guys should do a video of someone who doesn't work. Someone who lives in their parents basement and plays video games. It would be a hilarious contrast.

[@WhiteAntelope7]

+Ben Aaron I don't know what would be so hilarious about it (seeing as there is no context). A little different situation but still (Humans of New York): “It’s like I’m on eggshells all the time. Nothing but stress. I get $696 a month from social security. I could get more if I pretend to be bipolar like some people I know, but they make you take medicine to get your disability benefits. I'm not going to sit around like a zombie to get extra money. When I pay my bills, I have $30 left over. I can feed myself with 59-cent cans of tuna. I tried one of those food pantries but they aren’t even worth the time. I didn’t even know that pints of milk still existed. The bus drivers in the Bronx are cool so they let me ride for free. So that’s good. I can get around. But I can’t afford for anything to go wrong. Some lady is letting me stay in her place for cheap while she lives with her daughter, so I have a place to live. But it’s rent controlled so I’m not even supposed to be there. Every time I go home it’s like four layers of doom. First I’m terrified that my key won’t work. Then I’m terrified that there’s a letter in my mailbox. Then I’m afraid that the elevator won’t work-but that’s just cause I’m a lazy fuck. And then when I finally get to my apartment, I’m afraid there’s a letter under the door. Nothing but stress. I never feel safe. Every time there’s a knock on the door, I think it’s the end.”

[@forgetfulstranger]

+White Antelope I really appreciate this narration you put effort into making, thank you

[@benaaronmusic]

White Antelope The contrast would be the comedic effect. I'm thinking in terms of a sketch comedy show. A documentary of a 30 year old man in his parents basement, unwilling to look for work would be a funny juxtaposition for this style of "A Working Day" documentary. Does that make sense to you?

[@andrescoga]

Thanks SOL for doing these! I love how simple this series is. It definitely gives us a broader understanding of things and situations we might never experience. Keep on doing it! Cheers from NY

[@genshinsage]

Please do more of these videos. They open new perspectives for me.

[@Blynchis]

From seeing Australian farms, I have serious envy of that much green.

[@josephm.6453]

I like how you do a video about the same craft but in different places. it gives you better perspective

[@cin2155]

I love this series of videos =') It's very eye opening. I greatly admire and am a tiny bit envious of their perspective of the world. Thank you for making these! (May I ask why these are unlisted?)

[@seeker3894]

The area and the weather are just beautiful !

[@Napoleon4778]

Lovely video. I love your job: nothing's more satisfying than working in nature, in the open air. I would love to come out and help you someday! I don't have any experience farming but, yes, like a fieldtrip, you know... I can do manually hard work.

[@the_famous_reply_guy]

The best kind of man with a holistic mind set. Respect all day.

[@xoxBelllaDonnaxox]

This is why my vegan friends upset me when they criticize the meat industry despite the fact most have never set foot on a farm in their lives. My dad is farmer, the farm has been in our family for 500 years. It's more than just a job, it's a legacy. My dad works pretty much everyday no matter what the weather. He does everything in his power to keep our cattle safe a healthy. Despite being not being an emotional man, I've seen him cry over dead livestock. I can completely understand why someone would choose to be vegan. However vegan activists often ignore the whole picture when the criticize farming industry and make out that extreme cases of animal cruelty are the norm within the industry which is simply not true. My father and this man are a testament to this.

[@justmeish1997]

I live about 1hr and a half from Malham... I go there a fair bit... I long to be a farmer but getting into it is the hardest bit... All my family farms were sold decades ago with the children not wanting the work and the business not making what it could... I like to think I was born to late for my luck

[@hissandhersLTD]

YORKSHIRE! YORKSHIRE!

[@daviddawson1313]

It is nice to almost step into another person's shoes for a few minutes in these types of videos. As always, thanks, school of life.

[@happytx1860]

God bless the farmers. Thank you for your hard.

[@ak7586]

Thanks for sharing. Very insightful.

[@Easyendeavour]

I live and grew up in Yorkshire and around farming and this is such a great video. Farming is tough but very warding like he mentions!

[@colinmayes9446]

That was much too short, he was a very interesting man, but I enjoyed what I saw, thank you.

[@lukeluke7158]

I really like these videos I feel transported to the other side of the world into someones daily life

[@YaraelgerzawY]

The herd man in Cameroon and this farmer in Yorkshire just show you how not so different we all are at the end!

[@13superdude2]

For some odd reason this video turned out to be tremendously aesthetically pleasing

[@blackorchids]

All meat should be raised like this, if that means it costs ten times as much good riddance, the less of it the better.

[@bellerilley5618]

Completely agree!

[@NeuroticKnight9]

+seb nev Why do you hate the poor?

[@CaptainSuspenders]

+Neurotic Knight It just depends on which poor you "hate". Do you "hate" the poor in developed countries and restore the natural economic barrier to meat, or do you "hate" the poor in countries who are starving because the resources we use to create meat could be used to feed 10x more people? Or even more pronounced, the poor that will come after us, or the poor in places already being affected by global climate change? The unnatural meat industry is a huge contributor to resource depletion and global warming, we need to start thinking beyond our class, generation, and geological location if we are going to come up with climate-sustaining policies. FYI I'm not a vegetarian but I really should be...

[@NeuroticKnight9]

CaptainSuspenders Considering meat industry can be built on agricultural waste and since broths can be prepared by internal organs and not everyone just is limited to eating muscles like in the west, but bone stews, liver and lungs and so on, meat can be quite cheap in developing countries.

[@CaptainSuspenders]

Neurotic Knight Which also tend to be much healthier. If we removed most subsidies for meat, it's possible that economic barriers would make these currently undesirable foods more widely consumed in the west. No disagreements here.

[@TukenNuken]

A absolutely love the Working Day series. I hope they keep coming.

[@Icenova20]

I love these videos. I don't even think i love myself but i love these videos.

[@FerrisBueller468]

Thank you for another awesome and interesting video once again!

[@joshdoeseverything4575]

great vid, with his accent all I could think of was the girl from Brave

[@lifeonmarssucks]

+JoshDoesEverything different accents...

[@echo12100]

+JoshDoesEverything The girl from brave had a Scottish accent not Yorkshire. I know Yanks can't tell the difference most of the time but they sound nothing alike.

[@FluffRecordings]

+John Palmer As an Aussie, I'm simply surprised I could understand him. Took a trip round Oxford last year and the bus driver was a northerner and I couldn't understand a bloody word. He was probably the same with my accent. It was a fun day.

[@AlDuke14]

Awww, most Scots would laugh at that and move on. But if it was Southern England you said our (Scots) accent sounded like you would be trolled to the heavens.

[@fredrickaappletree3402]

Medium Rare Musicians....northerners are really easy to understand... you must be deaf or something.

[@oscarstrokosz2986]

Being in the UK this isn't that surprising or eye opening. I wonder what other nationalities think is eye opening about it as it may just be me being used to it.

[@DerekMxli]

those cows looks like oreos

[@larryknicks]

that's what the farmer was thinking @ 1:56 😂

[@SalemSprite]

Would you guys consider making a video on Dante Alighieri/ The Divine Comedy? I love the bastard, and the School of Life team have often expressed an interest in religious ideas similar to his.

[@agricruit6077]

This video is SO well done, would love to know who filmed it. Great to hear natural sounds for once! They can certainly test your patience!

[@Pauly421]

Wow are there only like 7 of these? Was looking for a whole playlist of at least 50. You have work to do SOL! :)

[@OdinMMA]

If this fine chap doesn't mind a Lancashire lad for an adopted son, I'd love to help at the farm. Best job ever! Ps despite the Lancashire - Yorkshire rivalry, I always kinda wanted a Yorkshire accent.

[@OdinMMA]

***** Ey up, son. I'll have none of that talk.

[@heyitsalex99]

Great idea btw, love this new series, can't wait for next episode!

[@schmoozemoose26]

That sheep at the front end of the video absolutely has a Yorkshire accent.

[@weirdshibainu]

the fences are awesome. ...it may be hard work, but at least he's not stuck in an office

[@zioscozio]

In a stunning turn of events, it is raining in England.

[@iwashungry4hands]

+scozio Leeroy Williamson, he scores occasionally! Leeroy Williamson, he scores occasionally (also true in his personal life) I apologize to my friends and family for that random display

[@hrnekbezucha]

It's great to see that not every farmed animal comes from concrete factory farm. Unfortunatelly there is very few of similar farms and their meat, milk and eggs is not getting enough attention due to the higher price and harder access. After learning how intensive animal agricalture works, I am willing to pay higher price. Animal products we can find in supermarket chains is garbage and those who pay the highest price are the animals themselves.

[@brod2man]

This guy had such an Australian accent at the begining. Wouldn't be surprised if we have a Yorkshire farm somewhere here

[@aprilblenk]

+brod2man You think so? I'm Australian and there was not one moment I thought that.

[@j-me6317]

Beautiful country

[@thomasj.damario2684]

If you ever get around to the states you should try to do one on the Amish, although it would be rather difficult to do considering they don't allow photographs

[@Artyom751]

Is there a possibility to bring this farmer in contact with the previous one? I would pay to see that happen.

[@gephotha]

I think these videos deserve another channel

[@DevendraSingh-pn5yg]

[@blubablubaxn1139]

awesome vid as always

[@SteymarStark]

Proud to be a Yorkshireman.

[@timscottdavis]

Hey school of life, maybe do a video on the working life of somebody in a slaughterhouse? Show the animal agriculture industry as a whole. It is very illuminating and may make others think more in depth and ask why they eat what they eat when they could just eat plants. Food for thought, thought for food.

[@emilmoserasmussen8668]

Interesting, I actually don't know about farming at all. it seems cold there, is that why you only farmed sheeps and cows? or you farmed other animals? like chicken or pigs?if yes, where would you put them? regards.

[@LordAlexMorgan]

I wonder how vegans react when seeing this video and what their opinion is of this man's occupation. The cows and goats are clearly not being mistreated or murdered for their meat, and it's their milk that's the extracted product, presumably not in a malicious or hurtful manner. The bloke seems nice and friendly and truly caring towards his animals. So I wonder if what is shown here meets with their approval or not and whether they'd mind having a glass of milk there if visiting. Hypothetically.

[@fredrickaappletree3402]

Alexander Morgan vegans don't drink animal milk (apart from their mams when they are young)

[@vikrammartin8680]

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT GOAT SOUND WTF? 0:02

[@BroCactus]

Why does everyone identify country farming (even the guy in the video did) with the word, "natural?" What on earth is natural about forcefully breeding and enslaving another sentient being? These animals are treated as living commodities. Whether or not the sheep are able to acknowledge that is another thing, but I do not agree with the concept of owning another being. And this is the ideal farm. 10% of animal agriculture is performed on settings like these. The rest operate under horrid conditions. And yet, if they didn't, animal products would be a luxury.

[@BiddaBiddaCherryPie]

+Eric O It's better to push farming to work like this than to do it in a factory farm. Take what you can get.

[@samsativa245]

Lol without farming and agriculture human beings would be hunter gatherers hunting down deer with spears and bows you fucking fool.

[@ZBdude149]

Is it rude to say that this farmer shouldn't be exploiting animals? I know this guy is very traditional, but we live in a world now that doesn't need to do this anymore. Just like we use guns today instead of swords and shields in war, so too should we adopt a sustainable diet that helps the environment as well as improve our health. And we can allow all life to flourish in peace.

[@MaximKachurovskiy]

I think those cows and sheep simply would not be born then.

where's the helmet safety comes first most deaths on farms are from people not wearing a helmet on atv just a little fact if that was my farm I would ware a helmet because I don't what to wake up the next morning in hospital paralysed because i didn't where a helmet and I cant work ever again moving the sheep or Galloway's about the field it just annoys me when people don't ware a helmet it takes two seconds to clip that helmet on and save you life THANKS IF YOU READ THIS

I hate having to do work for farmers in England. They are as tight as a ducks arse with payments and they drive around in a Mercedes. They always want pity and government hand outs, when they are just another business .

[@user-se8mi2io1v]

I would call him a herder instead of a farmer. He doesn't raise any cultures, doesn't he? My grandfather has the apple gardens, pear gardens, tomato fields and melon fields. So, he is a farmer. But this guy is a herder, right?
