66% LESS ARTIFICIAL FERTILISER | HOW HAVE THE CROPS PERFORMED?!

In today's video we are out with Father Phil for Crop Watch 2022. We take a look at all the crops that we've grown this year for a quick update. Has the reduction in fertiliser had a big effect or can we get by?!
Hope you enjoy, any questions hit me down in the comments below, thanks for watching! G'Luck

There's not many of your videos I've missed Phil so I feel confident in saying that must be one of father Phils finest comedic performances 😂 He gave you a right going over on the pumpkins. You'll have to get him back some day! Some nice looking crops, that beet is shocking clean, no wonder ye proud of it!

[@scrapjockey]

Neighbour had ten acres under plastic totally cleared out by the crows.Don't know what variety,but the supplier said it was something wrong with the dressing and it caused problems with 800 acres around the country. I love Father Phil's witty comments and Farmer Phil's determination to keep on subject and keep on reporting. 👍

[@wildcat22]

We have two 12 acre fields in our silage ground. This year we put nitrogen on one after the usual slurry dosage, the other got no fertilizer and 500 gals to the acre more than the usual slurry dose. Both fieldd yielded about 20 bales more than last year's totals. I wouldn't do it every year but it goes to show that if your soul is maintained to good levels, it can handle a skipped round of fertilizer. It's not something I'd do every year though.

[@donalfitzpatrick7737]

Great video as usual lads . Fingers crossed all stays standing and dry for the harvest and that the main man Uncle Ian is in the form for climbing the steps of big red with the white spout 💪

[@declanconway2903]

Great video again Phil and great to see your crops looking so well.

[@garethallan3854]

Watched every single video you have ever done from the start love them all 👍🏼 Great channel

[@brianovington]

I think you have done a great job there showing the different ways to grow a crop. Can't beat organic matter.

[@seanpower773]

Very interesting video Phil, it's great seeing the fruits of your labour.

[@colinnyhan4461]

If you have crows working a patch of barley you should get a old sweeping brush and a buket of waste oil. Just gently sweep oil on the barly surronding the patch. The crows wont bite the straw to crack it down then.

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video phil, great to hear father phils comments.

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video Phil father Phil is a gas man very funny when he was in the pumpkins the crops look great

[@theforester3426]

This has to be the best video so far very interesting kept me glued to the screen.

[@Avemtec]

Excellent video, really interested to see the variety of options in terms of fert application and tilling options...keep it up

[@wulliewhyte544]

Great looking crops lads you seem to be doing it right with the slurry instead of fert .Poor Father Phil not getting his biscuits till the end of the video nothing better than a hard biscuit to dip in your coffee 👍

[@shaneduddy]

Father phil is in good form loves giving you an wee dig when he can 👌

[@mistaken_stranger8343]

Great video yet again Phil, the crows are a disaster all together for wrecking crops. Definitely be worth your while investing in some more bird scarers

[@PVAglue-fi4kc]

Your in ahead of teagasc with the Multi species maize!

[@6-4fab53]

Just a thought, look into trying sugar beet leaf silage. Might help to extend your diet feeding ration. I know it's not good to feed just sugar beet silage because of a chance of the cattle choking on it. Maybe in a mixed ration the choking hazard wouldn't be a problem. If you read this Phil, please let me know what you think. Overall, all of your crops look great with all the things you have delt with this spring! Keep up the great content, and the hard work!

[@ciaranomalley9274]

Great run tru on ye're crops warts and all Father Phil dosen't spare you great banter between ye 😊👍

[@laurietinto5211]

Great video, will be very interesting to see how things pan out for you over time.

[@Dave-jm5yo]

I'd agree with the comment that the lack of fertilizer will have a long term affect, but if you replace it with other suitable nutrients it will be ok. Just takes more management. The vetch/oat ground cover works wonders over the winter. Keeps the soil drier let's the worms work more.

[@claetuswoodroofe1854]

Grazing cover crops might harm soil structure if the weather turns bad. I have fed cattle on stubble a few different years and for 2 years after it will show in the following crop and I had subsoiled areas I thought had heavy traffic when supplementing them with silage before housing.. But the cattle fed on stubble before housing had no lag in daily weight gain after housing

[@jonathanconway8175]

Excellent video, would love to know what bacteria spray you used on the barely fields absolutely magnificent crops in those fields

[@Panchdeburca]

Brilliant video Phil, great to hear father Phil talking about the crops and the walkthrough

[@Tractors_steam]

Excellent video.

[@russtattersall2746]

Brilliant! Loved the gladiator/Russell Crowe vibe with father Phil striding through the barley. Great stuff

[@pedronovais7020]

If you learn about soil as you know about trators you will improve your crop productivity, use less and less fertilzer... Interseeding, cover crop, manure injection, forget the plough..........

[@cdemo1186]

Only just got to see the video now. Great insight Lad's, fair play to ye. Crops look excellent,the big boys will be the huge boys this winter with all those crops to feed them. Father Phil,I hope you enjoyed your Biscuit 😉😂😂

[@andrewmaccall5871]

Great video? Love your comments - relevant and well said.

[@chuckhenry5487]

I like your choice of species for cover crop.buckwheat is a wonderful plant.it has a magical effect on future crops. I predict you will be impressed as well with the choices. Good luck!!

[@colmanlong1032]

Super video, That father Phil is some detail.

[@malcolmtyler2565]

Hi Jake freestone here in Gloucestershire England does a lot with cover crops he's worth a look Phil

[@stu111able]

What is your farms diesel bill for a yr ? Will u build a machinery shed or do you intend to tidy up the farm when you get a pallet of time,i know some days there are not enough hrs in the day, great video 👍

[@brendangeoghegan8777]

Excellent video yet again.. all crops looking great.. thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@haroldjones4309]

You should be having the field beans with you beef dinner

[@timizod8966]

hey Phil and Father Phil brilliant video very interesting. looking forward to seeing you harvesting it. How come harvesting is so different time wise between England and Ireland, most crops are harvested locally already? 🤔

[@simonferris7850]

Fair play to father Phil u wouldn’t eat the biscuit 🍪 when talking great video lads good crops well done 👏

[@feirmfactor859]

Great Video Men, interesting ceral production techniques and procedures to come I'm sure.!!

[@jeffree9015]

Think you guys are on the right track definitely. Will probably have been fulvic acid if it was sprayed on. Could be humic.

[@DianeD862]

Have had a busy hot hot 🥵 day we are settling down to farmer Phil and family and father and bro 😎 fantastic video love the music that goes with the videos just fantastic have watch farmer Phil from the beginning and we’re not farmers.like to know were food comes from.so GodBless and Good luck.🐝🐝🐝👩‍🌾👩‍🌾👩‍🌾🇮🇪🇮🇪🇪🇺🇪🇺😎😎🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺😎😎🇪🇺

[@sandymcghee3328]

Great video Phil @ farther Phil you have a lot of good crops 👍👍👍

[@Gearoid35]

Great video lads crops looking super always in a fine year

[@Tommymellett]

Good vid Phil

[@064prior]

I wonder Phil If you could use a compost tea for your crops, the ingredients are cheap and the results are great as the more fungus and air bacteria in the soil the better? You have the river for water which is better than tap and you need to pass air through it unless nettle or seaweed tea, I wonder if an old shop vac on blow for 24 hours would scale up?

[@joeivers135]

Good video some Fields have good crap 👍🏻

[@philiptyndall4968]

Phil if your putting your slurry and dung on the tillage ground how will you supply the nutrients to the grazing ground for the cattle?

[@JonDingle]

Very interesting that crop walk gents!

[@bobbydonaghy9302]

Great video. Very interesting as usual

[@oppamaclare]

What age is your Grandfather Phil or was I hearing things? 😀

[@johnodwyer6288]

Did u ever watch Sask dutchkid, dairy farmer in Canada, they cut the barley green before while grain is still milky and put it in a pit as though its grass silage, to me it makes more sense how ye do it to wait till its fully ripe, mighty fields of barley ye have, I would have thought even though maize without plastic had issues would have thought the heat of this year would have helped it trive better

[@timizod8966]

Phil we love the bouble act with you and father Phil. keep these brilliant videos coming 👍

[@theforester3426]

Got to ask you Phil how long has this farm been in your family, also good to see you and father Phil out and about.?

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

Since 1938

[@kevinryan3475]

Great video and only time will tell with the cover crops

[@oconnellsfarm811]

Being putting out light coat of dung over most of farm every year with 4 years now using very little fertiliser now saves a lot

[@hughcarrigan7824]

A lad near us here believe in that philosophy and on tillage ground it's a huge benefit.

[@homey3051]

Thanks for sharing all the things you do !

[@Jp-eo7jl]

Spot on

[@charlieboy9297]

Hi Phil

[@michaelstaunton1632]

A very interesting & informative video well done 👍👍

[@barrymcdonald7089]

Very good video and informative.

[@Modlendingen]

The prices must drop down a little bit, around here the government got a compensation for buying fertilizer, but as always, a little to late so not that many got fully use of that benefit.

[@paulwilson973]

Great video. Well done.

[@joeclancy868]

Great video

[@noelwalsh4205]

Great video lads

[@jasonmonaghan4637]

[@darrenlord5439]

Great vid

[@paulnewman2115]

Very good video lads

[@michaelfoley3335]

Weather was a big help this year, moisture in right time with excellent soil temperatures ?

[@stu111able]

Great video i can hardly keep up with all the many different crops you have growing, is there no local lads you can ask to shoot a few crows ?

[@farmerslife2612]

Good man 👍

[@Storiesandyarns]

Nice work.

[@stubuddle5561]

Great video you double act. Good Luck

[@Avemtec]

Father phil gave you some roasting.. the auld dog is still showing the pup he has a thing or two to learm😀😀

[@eh8184]

Is all these crops for feeding cattle or do you sell the wheat and oats to the factory

[@hellohello3199]

0:18:😂 The Irish accent kills me sometimes

[@frankgibson8861]

Hi Phil I was wondering about the maze that you sowed with the one pass? how did it

[@cyrilboland269]

Pity yee didn’t wholecrop field of barley hop yee get it and get the combine under it and it dose not lodge any more Some crop. 👍

[@samueljamouneau]

That’s a fine beet crop

[@briankiely5942]

Hi Phil, can the liquid fertiliser be used for grazing and silage crops.

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

We were to try it on grass but didn’t get a chance. But I can’t see why not

[@ash9532]

Greet video 👍

[@corkion]

great vid them crows cause some damage

[@jasonmushersee]

thats what happened to my sweetcorn. in may record 9.9 inches rain 5th wettest may in minnestoa history then too many long wet/cold days stunted corn at second leaf stage lambsquater ragweed took off to the moon corn did nothing june came along extreme heat/humidity i did'nt replant this year fertilizer 3 times more $ than last year. crop farms around here sprayed soybeans 1 time so weeds everyewhere and now drought condtions since june yields looking shit

[@johnnylyons6366]

What time will you be arriving at the harvest day on the 14th

[@mdcontractors1415]

I reckon you will need lime

[@seanmoynihan7471]

Will ye graze the tops or bale them.I saw crows do same thing in winter wheat eat 9 acres after coming up

[@garymadden2656]

👌

[@eamonohanlon2029]

Ye say ye could be short of fodder for the winter why not wholecrop that field of barley that's gone down should yield well and bulk up yer fodder for the winter

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

We have enough wholecrop but we’re short silage for yearlings. There’s lots of time yet to make more silage and we’ve fields closed up

[@danieloconnor7406]

🤙🤙

[@martinnaughton6572]

good video , your good tillage farmers.

[@callummcginn6184]

Do you feed the leaf of the beet or is it just ploughed back in?

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

Plough back in

[@Kenny-on6ye]

Those weeds are stealing all the nutrients that should be going to the pumpkins

[@alexthomas637]

🖼🖼🖼😎😎😎👍

[@greggroome2791]

😁👍🇨🇮💗

[@philiptyndall4968]

Phil if your putting your slurry and dung on the tillage ground how will you supply the nutrients to the grazing ground for the cattle?
