[@georgeehlers6622]

Nice tidy farm something to be proud of. The weeds in South Africa are getting resistance to roundup use over 15 years having to go back to dangerous paraquat and tillage methods

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thank you. No resistance here yet but we keep rates well up.

[@paulduncalf2756]

Great video Andrew ,very informative thank you for sharing 👍👌

[@paulwilliams3494]

Well done getting to 10K subscribers Andrew 👍👍

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thanks, it’s been a struggle!

[@markstonard1962]

what a great channel , thanks for sharing and i will be tuning in again

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thank you. Take a look at the farm tours. Links are in all the vids descriptions

[@HurstatElnup]

Challenging spring after what looked like an easy February 😮

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Rain again today. 😖

[@joelg8004]

Nala is a great supervisor. Keeps things in great order.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Sometimes she’s a pain in the ass!!

[@daddymazzy4800]

As an ex SIMBA man, it's nice to see the machines still be used and well maintained 😊

[@raymondcarroll1670]

Not surprised that your farm passe dthe quality assurance audit, you have a really well run tidy setup. You set an example for all the rest of us yo aspire to meet someday.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

😊👍 Thank you.

[@ginggur17]

Case purrs lovely. 👍🇬🇧

[@timbaines6705]

My Sunday routine now is watch the updates .. great informative content showing where our food comes from .. great work ,, looking forward to the Open Day in May 🚜

[@abbiejones1843]

What I can see Andrew is there is nothing stopping you taking the tractor to the field and let it just get on with it .And your free to do other thinngs on the farm and just monitor it with your app on the farm ..

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Soon that could well be the case.

[@roberthiggins6401]

That's great the red tractor audit went really well Andrew, pain about the sprayer but it is what it is I suppose. I hope you get drilled up soon. Well done helping the wagon out but again it's just what any farmer would do, I'd think. All the best for the week to you all, there.

[@roberthoward3723]

Like your Baileys bowser I wouldn’t want to put a cost on that but it does speed everything up - very efficient.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

It’s brilliant. Stands us at £24k, £14k for the bowser with mates rates and Househams bit with plumbing and all the rest was £10k but well worth it.

[@chrisnichols5208]

Another great video love the way you helped the grain lorry out that’s a great thing of kindness lots of people wouldn’t have even offered to help nothing ever seems to much trouble with you your team

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

I didn’t think twice about it tbh. If we’d been in the same situation I’m sure he would of done the same. Farmers will always help other farmers. 😊

[@brianovington]

What a time to come to do a audit when your trying to get crops sown.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

I know but to be fair, it was in the diary 6 weeks ago when I thought drilling would be finished. I could of cancelled but wanted to get it out the way.

[@ford1942]

Great to see the RX working. What a shame simba stopped manufacturing machinery

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Totally

[@scottunderwood3481]

Great video as always Andrew. To say you got a bargain on that Drill is a understatement, it's nice seeing the old Simba Drill still holdings its own against the latest eye watering priced kit.👍

[@PK_Blinder]

Nice use of a J bolt... 😉

My favourite pass time ! Watching a waffle ! 👍

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Brilliant! 😊👍

[@bambanarni]

I wouldn’t disagree with not planting the sprayer wheelings in a spring crop. I have been thinking about planting all the field and putting my tramlines in with the sprayer for a winter cereal crop. I feel it might help with soil erosion over winter, also give you something to travel on in a wet spring. Yes you loose the seed but would you gain better soil structure and better travelling. I know the ideal solution is don’t travel when it’s wet but….

[@laytonphillips6667]

Lovely video Andrew, drilled ground looks good after the rolls, wondered where the tram line markers are on the drill until you said. Happy easter to you Rhonda Tom and rueben.

[@chrispayne1029]

Great & very interesting video this week Andrew 💯👌👍

[@jonstephens682]

Cracking video again Andrew, the drilling looks like it went very well, love the comment in the middle, Plane there burning co2 a lot more than cows! Brilliant loved that 😊

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Bloody government don’t mention transport contribution.

[@robertirving5293]

A fantastic video as always Andrew nice to see what you been up to any way see you in mid week .

[@RICHIE87622]

Always amazed me how much noise a tractor cab keeps out when you open the back window when rolling! Had no idea how expensive drills had got. We had a 6m accord on a fendt tool carrier with a front mounted flexicoil. Another informative video Andrew.👍

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Those tool carriers were well ahead of their time.

[@RICHIE87622]

@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard 👍Unfortunately ours got totally thrashed using a push pull 7 furrow plough! Looking back there were some really bad decisions made! Always in a big rush! I learnt more in 4 months with Ted vipond than 4 years in Wiltshire!

[@jaylewjangoo]

Excellent informative video Thankyou for posting.

[@daviddawson2210]

Thanks for the update Andrew very informative as usual. A really challenging time for spring drilling four dry days seems to be maximum we get this year. The oats looked to be going in well that 8RX just seems to glide over the land and free dog chews as well. Happy Easter to you and Rhonda Nala and Frankie.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Great yrs you but that’s all the easy soils done. Happy Easter.

[@trevorwiggins]

Happy Easter to you all

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thank you, same to you.

[@andymercer8092]

Good update. Bet your glad to be on the land again. The drill and the 8RX are a tidy outfit.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Raining now. 😖

[@robertallen3441]

Happy Easter Andrew. Your spring drilling looks to be going well, soil looks in great condition after all the rain. Olly is still finding wet holes up on Merseyside!!!!!! Been better this week in East Anglia, just need a little more warmth. Great to see farmers helping farmers out of muddles, wouldn't happen in most industries. Liked your CO2 comment with the airliner, surely its not Globalists aboard?

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Olly lives getting stuck!!! Back to rain today.

Ditto Bob.

[@mrdangill247]

Andrew, could you show us how to properly setup the auto turn headland on the RX? Turning circles measurements and speeds etc as I haven’t tried it with ours as I’m not that brave enough 😀

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Tom is one for that, he set it up!! I’ll get him to show me when we’re next drilling.

[@jesperbering8895]

Good with a pleasant auditor.. they can be difficult. I have a GMP+ FCA certification. 12 hours per audit.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

12? 😳😖

[@Harry-zz8qn]

Lovely conditions for drilling ☀️ Brilliant rain water tank, done the same.. Where is the overflow pipe when the tank is full?

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

At the back.

[@andrewmaccall5871]

Must be great to see some landwork jobs ticked off. Heavier land another story and waiting game.?

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

A long waiting game now, 7mm of rain today.

[@SpudSlingsby]

It's a testing spring for sure, too much like 2012 for comfort! Remember to alter the sg on the sprayer controller when you're mixing water & fert

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

We don’t on the Househam. It’s on a liquid setting and is spot on. When we got the sprayer I altered the SG and couldn’t work out why it was so inaccurate. Now it’s on a volume setting, so 1:1 it’s very accurate. It doesn’t add up but it works!

[@davidhall5130]

Nice video do like the simba equipment. There’s a 4metre one on a farm I contractor on. They don’t use anymore as it’s awkward to move and have gone onto big Amazon drill

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Great drills.

[@matthewhodder3029]

Thank you for another informative video Andrew. Happy Easter to you and yours. Our heavy land ( garden) holds so much water that it is either a boy or sets like concrete, with very little in between. 30 years of adding compost has helped, but we could do with land drains like yours to get the water away.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Drainage is a must on clay soils but not so easy on your garden!

[@pseggons9512]

Good to see a bit of dry weather, lots to do before it rains again tonight and the mud returns in the west country. Can the bean seed be used next year, wondering how germination be affected.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

It’s only been cleaned and not got any treatment so can be sold as normal beans.

[@TimWhitehead-lc3ke]

Morning Andrew, late 'on parade' watching Wardy today, as a few mates & i attended Spurs v Brighton at White Hart Lane yesterday afternoon , plus a few pubs after the game ! I had'nt been for 30 years & the new stadium is magnificent & well worth a visit- but you have to endure some 'ripe' language, from the North London fans! & Brighton 'was robbed ref'! Back to the countryside, & my question is; could you assist that heavy wet land, to dry out, by putting the Drag through? Keep up the good work

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Morning Tim, sounds like you should of had a pen! If we rift the heavy land up it’ll be a right mess as it’s so wet so we’re going to work from the top. Patience!

[@pauljp8073]

Another great update. 👍 What sort of acreage was the field you were drilling the oats in out of interest?

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

54 acres or 21.8 hectares.

[@tommurphy3544]

18k for that drill sounds nearly criminal with todays mad price..probably get more selling now

[@raymondcarroll1670]

Does the Simba freeflow drill need the big tractor on tracks, or would the Puma pull it? It really was a bargain

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

The puma wouldn’t pull it at all, apart from on Concrete!! It weighs around 11 tons and with the rigid leading tines, takes some pulling.

[@raymondcarroll1670]

@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard thank you for the reply, I was just wondering if the weather was bad in the autumn if you could be cultivating and drilling simultaneously, but obviously not

[@markyoull6744]

great video do you find the rx better than the quadtrac thank you for sharing wwith us

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Different tractors but the RX is fantastic. Does all what we want with half the fuel if the Quad so I prefer it, yes.

[@thomasmacpherson5236]

Hi Andrew happy Easter. Re sowing beans so late and affecting potential yield so my question is would a low yield be because a lack of moisture as we go into summer or a late harvest/problems date which may affecting yield. Tom

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Lack of moisture and very late to harvest impacting on next crop.

[@ginggur17]

Hello, looking to try and start setting the Potatoes this coming Week all being well on my friends fields. 👍🇬🇧

I most definitely would be more careful around glyphosate. That stuff is nasty and is proven to damage nervous system in the long term.

[@ford1942]

Where is the proof ?

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

It’s fine, safest chemical we use, for environment and humans.

[@4DModding]

@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard It most definitely is not - I work in medical invito and our study completed last March found it to be in 60 - 80% of the urine of farmers. Pure madness being around it minus a 5um mask at min. If you google our study PMC9101768 it has all the facts.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

For all the reports saying it’s not safe, I can give you links to ones which say it is. Someone will find something wrong with every product we use in food production, that’s life but many of the foods which are imported are grown with products we have been banned from using but our government is happy to sign off trade deals allowing those food products in to our country. Gene Editing is the next thing to get people excited because they oppose progression and science but will help us feed the world, safely. Back to your issue: if we want to save the planet and reduce carbon emissions, glyphosate will play a part.

[@4DModding]

@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard the only problem is that the ones that say it is safe are funded by Monsanto. For every one that says to me its safe - I say prove it - Dilute it to the levels Monsanto say are safe for humans and drink it and prove its safe. I have yet to find a single farmer to take up that challenge
