3rd October 2020 was the UK's wettest day on record. Here's what happened on Harry's Farm

[@godnotsomighty]

This guy knows his onions... even if he doesn't actually grow them... Always excited to see a farm update notification.. I learn a lot from every episode...Thanks, Harry.

I realize I am pretty off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online?

[@kolehector4394]

@Aaron Valentino Try Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

[@theodorebowie6298]

@Kole Hector Yea, been using Flixzone for since april myself :D

@Kole Hector thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it!!

[@kolehector4394]

@Aaron Valentino You are welcome xD

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

It is commendable Harry that you have planted a hedgerow with a varied mix of thorns and other plants. A lot of hedgerow was lost in the late sixties and seventies.

[@starkeythemadclimber]

Makes you laugh really, there were grants to pull them out in the 60s/70s and there's grants to put them back in now!

Food just doesn't magically appear in your local shops.

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

@@charlesharper2357 NO? Surely not. I thought it just magicked itself there on a lorry from Sainsbury's, and they collect the potatoes and vegetables from the big distribution centre where it grows....

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

@@richardwalsh6024 Thanks for the heads up Richard.

[@charlesharper2357]

@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne I never claimed you did. I'm just making the point that people like your wife take our food supply and our farmers for granted...people should take an interest in how our food is produced and the people that produce it.

[@bernardh9994]

Thanks Harry, so interesting to follow this as a lay person. We take our food for granted, this helps me to appreciate the knowledge and efforts of farmers ..

[@megapangolin1093]

The most entertaining programme on any tv anywhere, honest, real, practical, and stoical Harry keeps on farming. A real showcase for farming in 21st century UK.

[@grahamsmith4988]

Thanks for giving a nod to the bird lovers Harry. Sadly, we are seeing much fewer migratory thrushes like Redwing, Mistle thrush etc due to the reduced availability of winter food. Can you imagine what a few thousand thrushes could do to the slug population? It's the same in our private gardens, loads of slugs and snails and no thrushes.

[@antonoat]

Very happy you do your bit for the birds Harry, good on you! cheers. I think these "Harry's Farm " films should be played to children in schools so they grow up aware things just don't grow by chance on farmers fields, it takes a lot of effort and farmers should have public support and not taken for granted!

[@helipeek2736]

Harry’s Farm + pint mug of steaming hot tea......and relax. Thanks Harry!!

[@andrewmoorhouse687]

Totally with you Harry on people chucking their rubbish everywhere. Seems to have been worse than ever this year. You used to see ‘Keep Britain Tidy’ ads on TV when I was younger. Cut backs again I guess. People, take your own crap home with you or stick it in a bin. How hard can it be?

[@dickieb2233]

@@Tim091 Yes, what's wrong with drawing on a Marlborough instead? We have made speeding an antisocial activity, surely littering has to be the next target!

Same at Kinder Scout this week. In the past I've taken a spare empty carrier bag and have done a litter pick.

[@ckm-mkc]

One of the things that always shocks me is how much trash is deposited on my family's farm in France. In contrast, driving through US farmland here in California, you rarely see trash like that..... Same deal when I drove cross-country in Ohio/Indiana/Nebraska or when I was living in Maine.

[@arfarms5711]

Harry I’m in the south east USA, South Carolina, and this is THE wettest year I can remember in my 30 years of farming. We had to leave out 450 acres this year that would’ve went into soybeans bc of non stop rain all spring and summer and here we are in fall and it’s still so wet we can’t get into the fields to plant wheat Hope everything goes good for you w planting

[@justinclark5078]

Strange. I'm in the NE USA, Connecticut and this summer has been one of the dryest / least humid that I can remember in the last 10-15 years. We had mass dieback of lawns, trees started defoliating in August, gardens had to be watered 2-3 times per day. The climate is much less predictable than it seems it used to be.

[@arfarms5711]

@@justinclark5078 the weather had gone completely insane. That was our year here last year. Bone dry all summer and so hot we never even had a spring. Went from winter to summer. It hit in the 100F in April here last year and I’ve never seen that happen. We didn’t get any rain to speak of from may till August. Soybeans were small as bb’s and it really killed the yield. Corn did pretty good this year and milo did too, but the excessive rain ended up taking ab 50% of yield from milo bc it was 4 weeks late on harvest. It’s been a mess. Seems like it’s one extreme or the other. Bone dry or flooding. I’ve been on farm my entire life and seems like things changed w the weather 4-5 years ago. I don’t ever remember having problems weather related like we do today

[@terrygreen4338]

Good job you moved that big stone imagine the size slug under it would have eaten the whole field. What with slugs and litter louts both a dam nuisance, another great video cheers Harry 👍🚜

[@marcomarco7099]

Thanks Harry for another Farm Video, always interesting. Keep on going.

[@tomdarbyshire5348]

I remember being shouted at at college for saying “compacting a seed bed” consolidation is very different to compaction. Great video, cheers

[@peterdurnien9084]

When grass areas were disturbed during works at the airport the earth was often reseeded or sprayed with seed in a wallpaper like paste. This gave the seed a head start, but we were always told to keep off the area reseeded while it established. When it was driven over though the seed seemed to grow better where it was compacted.

[@Zadster]

Harry's Farm never ceases to be interesting and informative! Let's face it, food is fundamental to life, but it gets so little coverage in the media. Fingers crossed for a few reasonable days weather. It doesn't look like we will get a frost for at least 10 days or so, which is remarkably late this year. I suppose you do need frosts eventually to kill the slug eggs and pests off, but preferably when the seed has got well established.

[@danielmarshall4587]

As a "Townie" I cannot bring myself to leave rubbish in the countryside, even out and about in my home town I wince at the thought of littering. Anyhow thanks again Harry for the vid.

[@fergushooper9755]

Great video. Have you thought about sub soiling some of the wet areas as maybe it's down to compaction?

[@Lordwilliams1990]

I had a simlar problem with our spring barley, it recovered very well.

[@opuscat999]

Harry, with all the marvelous machinery developed for farm use, is there not a way to remove stones from a field mechanically??

[@cabobs2000]

Yes. It's called a rock picker. There are a few types.

[@donaldtriumph1682]

That’s flint and limestone. As fast as you pick it it just rises out the ground. As it rains and freezes it naturally washes the soil down which in turn moves the stones up. So it’s a never ending circle. That’s Mother Nature 👍🏻👍🏻

[@bigal2312]

Rock pickers are used a lot by potato farmers as they don't want the rocks damaging the crop, but it looks like Harry could do with one. Might even be able to reuse the cotswold stone :-)

Superb Harry. Great to watch but I’m glad I don’t have to bet my livelihood each year on next years crop. Kudos to you and U.K. ag. Need to see and hear more of how U.K. farmers work to increase awareness of our standards vs other countries ag for example USA. (EDIT: one example regards the oilseed rape, lot of that grown in North America and Canada {canola} but they don’t suffer from the issue UK ag has with OSR namely cabbage stem flea beetle {CSFB} because they are still allowed to use the neo nicotinoid seed dressings that are banned here and in EU. The knock on effect won’t be felt by consumers for perhaps another year when cooking oil prices go through the roof because UK farmers can’t afford to take the chance on OSR anymore!! )
