BOTCHED AXLE | ANOTHER FIELD WIPED OUT | SUNFLOWERS OPEN NOW!!

Today another field gets wiped out by the new 6700 Claas, I botch an axle and the sunflower trail is now open for business
My name is Crawford and I’m a farmer.
Being a farmer is more than a job; it’s a way of life. The good days can involve bringing new life onto the farm or sunny days outdoors whilst on others it's dealing with machinery breakdowns and on the worst days, sometimes animal deaths.
Farming can be isolating at times - away from the busy streets and city life - so this platform brings you closer to the inner workings showing the highs and lows and everything in between.
I hope to bring some context to how the food ends up on your plate, from your Sunday roasts to morning porridge and even the tulips on your kitchen table. Hopefully a bit of agricultural education along the way.
This video captures the latest goings on including crop management and our efforts to increase sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.

I wish I had been close enough to visit the sunflower park. Looks fabulous.

[@philipgraham6980]

Those bugs are "Cabbage stem Flea Beetle". Night time music for me would be GENESIS.

[@claymonsterpottery]

Probably Ray Charles. Yep, I can listen to him for hours.

[@yeagerxp]

Defo flea beetles there I’m afraid, grain store will be ‘popping’ well with them in the morning!!! I grew up with the Britpop scene so I could happily listen to the likes of Pulp, Oasis and especially The Bluetones all day long

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Bandits them beetles, already had a chomp on the new crop! Not familiar with Bluetones but ill give them a try

[@Celtic-jr9cn]

Hands down oasis. Went to see them Murray fields 2001 a think it was. What a concert.

Great Sunday morning up in Perthshire. Deviating a little from the farming Crawford, you guys do a great lunch at the #Gloagburn Coffee Shop. Just been in and it was lovely 👌

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Glad you enjoyed, not a great deal to do with me tho… unless you had beef 🥩

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Did you spot the shed? 👀

[@ardeer1]

Fist thing you see coming over the road from the A9. Looking good, you will find a big difference with extra storage capacity. Bet you that was the most expensive concrete you have laid !! Good luck with the weather this week, full steam ahead I hope, we have only spring barley to get, and can manage it in a day.

[@ardeer1]

Had the chicken 🐓😂 and a huge slice of Lemmon meringue pie to finish.

[@warranstanley2502]

How do you like the Stewart trailers? I have one of their livestock trailers and it's spot on 👌 definitely Bon Jovi!

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Find them pretty impressive, load sensitives air breaks are top notch, not too impressed by the paint on the older one but the new one has flexi paint so will see how that stands up! Also great shout

[@igagri4817]

Good choice, see you at the sunflower trail soon 🌻

[@grahamkerr7436]

What make or size plasma cutter you got? I am thinking of getting one. Rather than abusing the grinder as much!

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Think its a 60amp, not an expensive one but i would definitely recommend one. Makes jobs infinitely easier/quicker
