BREAKDOWN CUTTING OATS | AMMONIA TREATING STRAW | CATTLE LOADED

Today we needed a quick turn around with the trailer, breaking knifes, cutting oats and treating wheat straw with ammonia
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.

15 min… no pressure. You can do it.I agree with comment that this is the best channel. All that work and things to worry about and he still sees a caterpillar and takes the time to film a cow tonguing her feed. Thanks for hours of great viewing.

6 out of 10 on the breakaway

[@danny7567]

Ploughed through the 2k mate go on yersel 👌👏 breakaway are a steady 6/7 out of 10. Not one that jumps out at you but when you do have one its like "aw aye these are gid" 😅 would be cool if weather allows for a sunflower harvest to see what yield is like and if it would add a decent wee bit of income on top of however it does with punters. 🤘

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Should yield 4ton/acre i think

[@neiljervisdarlison1659]

Gutted you never got the Harbro driver on! She's a great driver. Was really wet here last year and she got into field and out no bother. You can get replacement perspex from Stewart trailers. Sure someone good in workshop like yourself could buy some sheets of perspex and cut to fit. It was crazy expensive with covid but not sure if its cheaper again now.

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Yeh she knew what she was talking about, left her to it Might grab some for the older trailer

[@jamesking2530]

When it’s too scratched/ dusty on the trailers. Could you not just let the combine driver load it for you ? (The combine increase and decreases speed) It’s what we do on hilly ground when the trailer needs to be loaded from the front first.

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Yeh i guess, always just kept the combine going steady and tractors in charge

[@richardsugden206]

Hi Crawford, Ammonia treating of straw, why do you not use oat straw as its better feeding than barley? How much does it cost approx a bale (does it depend on the weight?)

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Its wheat

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

And think near £40 a ton, expensive this year but we have plenty wheat straw going and no silage

[@claymonsterpottery]

My question of the day, do you actually spend all your time solo (except for Lulu)or do you only film when no one is around? Do you find farming life is very solitary?
