Brilliant video Olly, thank you 👍

[@Farmerandy72]

YES Olly, the correct pronunciation of quinoa, well done lad !!

[@kellyshelley1249]

Just walked in to hear about the oil seed rape. Good explanation 👏. Nice to hear all about it. Husband hog's the TV. While I'm busy doing house work. Only get to see bits. Or hear from different room.

[@colinmacdonald1939]

It’s refreshing to see a farmer who has some business sense. I’m from a farming community and so many are sadly clueless about how to monetise their assets. 👍

[@trevorjarvis3021]

You certainly put the work in Olly - there’s no doubt about that. Total credit / respect to you ✊ 👍

[@christinegibbins6105]

Hi Olly, this fickle weather is making it hard work, son did a round of our winter wheat starting 6:30 pm ish, but came in at 17%, need 15 so we don't have to dry it. Dew already on the lawn. Take care and thanks, as always fore the vlogs. 90% today, had the day to myself, which I love.

[@jonathan_5967]

Another great video, interesting to hear about how you work with the local co-op 👍

Spitting rain hear in Tipperary all day hope that the good weather returns soon . always great to see you video something new even day 🚜🇮🇪🌻

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Thanks 😊

[@davereynolds6145]

That new combine being able to perform in extreme conditions has to help take away some stress! Definitely looks like it will pay for it's self!

I hope so

Hey Olly, thanks for clearing up the OSR, was wondering what the crack was with it. Another 1st class vid!

Hi Ollie 50% today, got Covid, as did my wife and daughter. Other daughter has escaped so far, so 75% Covid in the house. But I’ve been looking forward to your video all day. Armchair farming 😁 Keep up the good work 💪

I’ve been moving a bit of osr and my dads mates moved the sugar beet pellets out of Liverpool docks to ur farm

You never have a day off always plenty to do, even when it’s raining. Got my wedding tomorrow very nervous. Keeping fendt in shed and taking my newly restored Massey 35

Good luck

[@andrewwillison2304]

Another great video a great use and explanation of why the osr store came to be and how your utilising it now olly. Do you always chop the straw in fields coming osr?

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Only if weather is dodgy prefer to bale so there is no allopathic effect

[@johnirons9223]

Used to operate a number of heavy plant but I have to admit the D6 was the best by far!! 👍

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

👍🏻

[@dom.pickering105]

we got rained off today aswell in Norfolk

[@meadowhawks20]

Thanks Olly. It’s really interesting to hear your explanation of grain storage with the OSR. Is that just another string to the bow of your farm to help the profit margin?

[@adamsouthern3131]

You got nice set up whit your sheds . Interesting about the oil seed rape .

[@peterallan6354]

I used to take our osr to Liverpool. Every time the security/weigh bridge operator looked my delivery note it had Lowick to Liverpool. Which upset them (its not Liverpool ) it's vauxhall 😆😆😅🤣😂

[@philipgraham6980]

Easy done hitting a hidden manhole cover, I once wrote off a Claas drum mower by hitting a very proud manhole in a cuctomers field when I was contracting. You would think farmers would mark them if using contractors. Shame about the weather, best day we have had for ages down here in Somerset. Have you ordered the side guard for the header yet, would be interested to know the cost. See ya tomorrow.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

No keep forgetting

Hi ollie what happens to the chaf that comes out of the drier? Another great and informative video. I have only been following you for a couple of weeks just before Tom Pemberton gave you the shout out. Keep up the great work. Oh and I am watching you from Ackworth West Yorkshire but I am originally from Berwicshire Scotland.

[@cmotdibbler4454]

Been taking beans off the fields since the start of the week here

[@robbickford9077]

Always have some gafffer tape & silicon in the granary it's surprising how abrasive grain is when it's moved about and the smallest hole can cause a big mess if not noticed

[@jonathans1955]

Don't just tape over the hole, cut a bit of tinplate and tape that over the hole, it'll last a lot longer.

[@insanebilly]

How does the floor empty from the front to the back into the dryer. What stops it going in from the back ?

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yes

[@jamiewarner9884]

Do you bale your pea straw ??? We did one and used it as feed for the cows think they liked it but a pain the bale if I remember right

[@laurencegibbs2753]

We store rape too but for a different company, but half of it goes into the on-site press over the year for high quality rapeseed oils. About 60% today had half the night in hospital with an infected knee

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

That sounds sore

[@laurencegibbs2753]

It is, and in true farm style I ignored it until It was a bigger problem than it should’ve been because we were busy!

[@mattwyatt2375]

Are the beans for animal feed olly plus the black gold is looking good in the shed .

Yes wish it was all mine

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video olly, does it ever stop raining. Have you sorted out the spread on the chopper? 90%.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Seems not to

[@fusion7865]

What do you think about the new class combines

[@nicjohnson2522]

Interestingly I saw someone cutting hedges and they said it was derogation work for rape ground. So whether they had to get a permit or something but they were hedgecutting on the 1st August

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

yes u can do that for osr

[@markhenderson2748]

Hey Olly. I’ve heard you talk about the manholes in your fields a couple of times now. What are they there for? It’s certainly something we don’t have to worry about catching the header on in NZ

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

There where utility drains go across for local housing

90% today,Olly do you not get peed off with all the damage to equipment, great vlogs

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Yes

[@willoliver1220]

Hi mate hope you’re well, just wondering how is it more economic to chop ur straw then have someone bale it with current straw prices? I appreciate the organic matter value but still can’t get my head round it

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Round here merchants only want to pay £65 a ton so not worth baleing

[@DaveyC4810]

Is there much of a difference in yield when you direct drill vs cultivating and drilling?

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

So far what I cut the higest yields are off my direct drilled fields

[@DaveyC4810]

I guess the stubble rots down and fertilises? Less work too, win win!

Do you have to grease the combine or is it all automatic?

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Have to grease it

[@charliesinden8711]

*novice question*- what are reasons for the different wheels on the front of the combine?

[@valfahr126]

i think it is for the weight of the header but i am no farmer either

[@hb_chippy7166]

It is to help spread the weight of the combine over a bigger area so the soil does not get too compacted. Farmers can get a penalty if the ground is compacted above a certain level or %.

[@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer]

Do you mean the tracks or the small ones on the cutter bar

[@charliesinden8711]

@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer I mean the tracks on the combine. What’s the purpose of them? Thanks
