British Farming | 12 Months On A UK Farm: July

It's July on the farm - and as most of Britain has been searching for air conditioning, the fields have been pining over water, and the animals have been flocking to the shade.
We hope you enjoy the latest from Sarah and the farm.

loving this series of videos, your mum's strength and love for farming are so inspiring. cheers from Brazil.

[@flankfarm]

WOW, from Brazil! So great to hear you're watching and enjoying them! Until next month. 👋

[@whistle4711]

Really enjoying this series. I grew up in rural Bedforshire in the 50‘s and 60‘s but have lived in Germany for many years. The country side, the animals and Sara‘s accent make me feel quite nostalgic.

[@flankfarm]

That's so fun to hear... Hahaha, I can imagine it's even more nostalgic considering the machinery and processes Sarah uses haven't changed since the 60's. Looking forward to showing you August!

“You can take the girl out of the farm, but you can’t take the farming out of the girl” honestly miss living on a farm😔 loving this series ❤️

[@marklyons3003]

Gaud bless Sarah! She is a true Brit-battler and salt-of-the-earth! She clearly loves her animals they are so soo lucky to have her. Beautiful and heart-warming to see her enjoying that which she loves best, fulfilling her calling :-)

I am from Uganda. My grandparents kept diary cattle and I never fully appreciated how lucky we are to have fresh grass all year round until I watched your videos.

[@nodigBKMiche]

Even a weekend away would be good for your Mom🧡🥰

[@paulhayday8212]

Another splendid video. I do hope the farm has some sustained rain soon for the grass, cows, sheep & peace of mind! Paul. West Wycombe Village

Aww Sara 💖.. You have to make the time for a getaway don't wait for it. I am always her if u need me 😇. The new baby made my day he is gorgeous. I hope Mom and dad are doing well. Miss u all 😻. much love.

BRO BRO BRO FANTASTIC VIDEO . WAITING FOR AUGUST EDITION.

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

Yes. I always feel sorry for the animals when the flies are all over them. The annoying part of it is, that there’s not a lot you can do.. I seem to remember using stockholm tar ( not sure if my spelling is correct) , but it’s a sticky black substance which was supposed to keep flies away. I’m sure there must be dozens of local treatments in different parts of the country. The best thing is to pray for cooler weather and some rain.

[@kellydraper3433]

Josh you’re a absolutely magnificent son! I love the way you’re respecting your Mum. Him many siblings do you have? By far your mother is the luckiest person on the planet earth because your lovely boy to her.

[@kellydraper3433]

[@jacobmart8653]

For us it's been a another busy month we've done about another 400 acres of hay this time no radio no air con all mowed with a little drum mower and tedded and rowed with a hay Bob then baled with a small baler then we combined about 800 odd acres of barley carted with a JD 2140 no Aircon no radio so yeah sheep are next

[@flankfarm]

Hey, so cool to hear about everything you're doing over there. That's a heck of a lot, especially with no air con! Good luck with the sheep and see you next month for another one!

Thanks David!

[@jamiemcdougall8365]

Just found this channel and watched every episode from january. Absolutely brilliant. Camera work and editing is superb. Im going to have to become more patient now and wait for each episode! Hope the rest of the year goes well for you all. From a new fan up in Scotland.

[@flankfarm]

Wow, that’s so incredible! Thanks so much for finding us, we’re super excited to share with you next months and sorry about the wait. 🙆🏼‍♂️

[@adamfontana537]

Loving watching your mums farm. I am from Australia so 32 is not that hot for us. Lol thank you for sharing

[@flankfarm]

Hahaha, well it's plenty hot enough for us!

[@danhopkinson2811]

@Steve Slade being from England and now living in Aus I can tell you the heat is very different. we have a lot of rain through the year as soon as it gets hot the humidity goes through the roof, its like being in a greenhouse. I've been working here in sand all day in 35degrees and up in the 40's out west on a farm, but back home that will feel hotter again

Can't believe it's still a drought in England, in Ireland it's been raining four the past 4 days in my area

[@flankfarm]

Yeah, it's been the dream for most, but pretty tough on the farmers, animals, and ground. Thanks for commenting 🙂

[@emelin_kite]

God bless you! and huge you health! it's very hard being a farmer. huge greetings from Russia! love your channel!

[@bk7164]

Great video. Thanks for making

[@GullyShanks]

Another enjoyable episode, sad that it's over for another month though. Do you ever take on volunteers or extra hands during lambing season (or at any time of the year)?

[@flankfarm]

Really happy you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting! Also YES, absolutely - do you want to send an email to [e-mail] and we can try to organise something?

[@carterp2858]

I loved it when we had no rain

[@aidenwilson8113]

The heatwave effected the farms in my town really bad,the water things were almost dry, my area is huge in farming, the grass was dying

[@harryiom9397]

Just a quick question from someone who helps sheppard 4000 ewes and lambs (including foot trimming them) what is the point in spraying the foot before foot bathing them? Surely the spray washes off? Or it does in my case, amazing video all same can't wait for the next one!!

[@flankfarm]

Thanks for the comment and the kind works Harry, that's a good question and one that we're certainly not qualified to answer. We'll ask Sarah for you when we're next around... though if it's not something you'd do (with your knowledge) - I can only guess it might have been so we (the viewer) could see another way of treating the problem... outside of the footbath. Let us get back to you though. P.s. That's an incredible amount of sheep - amazing job. Power to you 💪

[@harryiom9397]

FLANK Thank you, just thought i'd ask as thats the way i was told, but Sarah definitely knows what shes talking about and im sure she has her reasons for doing so :D

Thanks a ton. It is - they’re called JAF patches, pretty nifty 🙌🏽

Why don’t you use fly spay or a fly masks to keep the flies off the cows face?

[@mrfender5001]

What kind of camera did you film with?

[@nickaf5262]

They need fly repellent swish is a good one

[@MistressOP]

What's the organic matter in her soil?

[@flankfarm]

Interesting question, we don't really know the answer though I'm afraid. How can we find out?

[@MistressOP]

They offer field testing in the USA for about 20 bucks. You can also buy test strips for your field. organic matter field strips test
