A day on and off the farm

[@markedwards158]

Tom your skills, work ethic and passion are off the scale. When people tell us farming is bad for the environment they really have know idea just how tough it is to make ends meet and still put food on the table. Keep up the good work.

[@TheRealTburt]

The people who claim farming is bad for the environment live in concrete skyscrapers and work in dirty cities.

1:53 Look at that lad taking his roller for a walk, I hope he picks up after it. The civil engineering stuff is great, a lot of us probably wouldn't have found this channel without you digging Colin's driveway.

Hi Tom, in your last vid you were asking/questioning about your content. Personally I think it’s excellent, just keep doing what you’re doing and thanks for taking the time uploading all your content for us to enjoy

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks, will do!

[@Martin-kz8by]

Hello Tom, The content of your videos is super interesting. They allow us to see how a farm works, and you explain it in a fun way. Thank you from Canada! 🌲

Tom "The man of many" Lamb. Honestly, how you find the time to farm with all these skillsets! Love it!

[@callumsmyth3066]

These daily videos are class, gives brilliant insight into your operation with the addition of the Lamb humour. I’d like to see more about the indestructible Peugeot and how it came about 😂

You definitely got your fingers in a few pies as they say.... your cleaver and good buinness man very impressive....

[@paulhammond7489]

Have to applaud a modern farmer for diversifying into other activities, especially when the food supply chain has to react to the global markets. Civil engineering has a nice crossover match with some of your heavy machinery, so looks like you made a very wise decision :)

Another nice insight into the way you work

love it Tom, I'm the same, tool hire pays for itself on those rainy days

[@dfross87]

Definitely agree about having good kit Tom. And BIG kit. Nothing worse than waiting around for something that's, "Just right for what you do." Nah mate. I want a machine that can get the job done quickly! Don't get me wrong, smaller equipment can be handy at times. But if I've only got one of something, it's going to be a biggun!

[@Jacquobite]

Love your videos! Also we need to see more of the grumpy man!

[@charliebass9238]

Loved this one Tom, really interesting looking at the other things you get up to and how you've tied in civil contracts to use and improve the equipment inventory for the farm. You've clearly got a good reputation. You asked what do we think of uour skill set - very impressive mate. You've got a good business mindset and a great work ethic. You can add KZbin to your skills too, you're killing it with these vids. Always interested in seeing more of what you're up to, look forward to the next vid mate 👍

[@jakobrebeki]

When I was in Suffolk we used to take care of the graveyard and grounds of the local Church in Kersey as in maintance on the dry stone walls, cutting the grass and keeping the graveyard in order. It's feels good to be a part of where you live and work. I may be moving soon and applying to work on a preserved railway out in Hampshire. As I have said before keep busy and follow you ideas. Lots of farms out there so may see if I can get on one of them. I enjoy your vids as I often think of times past and present. Thanks Tom....

[@ToolTimeToday]

cool, Propper Jack of all trade's aint ya buddy :) I's all good that you have all these other skill's/job's in hand as like you mentioned farming atm is not sustainable on it's own anymore with the rise in costs an all that. So yeah, Shall be looking forward to more vid's :)

[@johnmills1731]

So how does the o-licensing work? Your farm equipment can be operated on the farm without a O-license but surely when it’s out doing civil work it’s technically an arctic lorry and would require o-license and HGV license. Is that correct? Tia

[@Tomlamb980]

Diggers and one of the tractor all have to run on white diesel o licence is held by my dad we both have hgv licences and then cpc international so we can run hgvs to the farm in France tractor just does the odd job on the civils within 5mile radius of the yard

[@andrewplumb6189]

Another good video. Makes a change from just farming ones.

[@declanwiltshire7258]

Hi Tom great video I see your diversifying in going into the plant and civil construction I have got a small contracting business and would you recommend getting somthing like 1.5 tonne digger with different attachments to diversify my work out any help would be appreciated thanks.

[@Wolfyjinny]

I knew that farmers had to do other jobs to get by but didn't realise that the skills are transferable across into civil engineering, now you mention it, it's obvious due to the knowledge of the machinery etc. So is that a second company that you run or is it just work to help with the beer money?

Just beer money and it helps warrant having the decent machinery

This was a super interesting video Tom, but generates even more questions. For a kick off, that was quite an area to concrete, and the grade still looked way off. It reminded me of one of Chris Guins(LetsDig18)'s videos when he was talking to his mate Charlie who had made a big investment in a JD 872 Grader with an uber-expensive Trimble GPS system. What he does is ask the client how much concrete they expect to need, and he does a deal where splits the difference with whatever he can save on their estimate. The grader can do close to a few millimetres, including slopes, but he mentioned needing to make US$10K a month just to break even with the bank payments. The site you showed us looked like it was going to eat a whole lot of concrete to achieve minimum thickness, which comes to a lot of money. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r17LiKhva8hghdU&t Chris Guins also made a killing screening several years worth of composted sawdust at a wood mill, and selling it as topsoil. He was making over US$1000 a load, and he looked to be loading truck after truck. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmaai5aked6gfs0
