[@RussellTremain]

Well done Andrew, the farming community are very grateful to you and the Rest of the team for organising the event on the 19th. Fingers crossed for a successful outcome. Thank you 🙏

[@AndyClarke-j1b]

Hope you have a great day on Tuesday, I'm fully behind British farmers. You do a great job, and we couldn't do without you.

[@billharcourt5950]

All the best for Tuesday ! Glad you're all caught up with the farm work, the weather has been great for you.

As I’ve said Andrew I’m not a farmer but love farming and machines you guys & ladies do a incredible job to keep us fed so just wanted to wish you all good luck 🤞 on Tuesday will be watching

[@michaelsmith-dm3kb]

Brilliant video Andrew really enjoyed that.Glad you got your drilling finished,i love watching that 8rx working.Its good to see you can keep your freeflow drill repaired and running.The solo was doing a good job and the bomford superflow is in good condition.

[@brycekirby1567]

Congratulations on completing drilling

[@andykeeble1]

Congratulations on finishing the drilling Wardy, it must be a huge relief. Can I also say a huge well done to you, Olly, Martin and anyone else who has made the 19th possible. Having seen footage from the Welsh Assembly the 19th will reinforce the feeling of thousands of farmers, businesses and also the public about how unjust the budget really is.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

👍😊

[@KevAshworth]

Good point on the effect on other small businesses Andrew! I think its important also to highlight the issue of BPR on all small businesses,we need the support of all the country but in return we need to show empathy and support in highlighting the impact of this budget on the business world! Well done to you all for all the hard work in organising this ! Also it's good to see the strain of getting drilled as gone ,

[@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery]

Congratulations on getting drilled up in great time Andrew. All the best for a successful demonstration next Tuesday, keep the pressure on. You guys have full support from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@peterwilson-qj2ds]

A great update Andrew, its good to see you have done all of your drilling and getting ready for the spring. 100% will agree its going to affect a lot of people , we all must stand together .

[@ianmckay1780]

Up to your usual standard Andrew, thanks for the useful info! All I'm going to say about Tuesday is hope it all goes to plan and you survive the struggle. If everyone follows the guidelines, all should be good, hopefully. Doing my Olly bit with use of the "hopefully"'s but as I can't get there, be assured that whatever happens, I'm 100% behind what you stand for!!!!!!!!!! Just to repeat the request, Please don't litter, if you see litter, please pick it up and either bin it or take it to somewhere you can bin it. As always best wishes to all who have anything to do with this demo on Tuesday 19th. TAKE CARE ALL and have a good time!

[@timbaines6705]

Hi Andrew, great video today and good to see you have managed to get drilled up . I could see in your face how much stress it has been on you as well as organising the Farmers meet on the 19th November, unfortunately I am away in Florida at the moment and won't be able to make it to London but will be watching and supporting from afar 👍👍👍👍

im in 100% support of anything that rids us of this government.

The alternative is any better? Badenoch is promoting a US trade deal, which could make our farmers uncompetitive.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

@JohnnyMotel99 Anything has to be better than this lot.

[@davidchalmers4969]

You want to overthrow a recently elected Govt? What is the alternative, the Tories who are far more responsible for the current sitaluation in the industry than Labour. Farage offers nothing to the industry at all.

[@GeoffreyMoore-i9k]

ABSOLUTELY fantastic opening again to this update Andrew Thank you all for pushing the fight to the government I truly hope Olly's and your word's of wisdom regarding behaviour is taken on board, let's show the city how farmers can carry their heads high, and as much as you've all been 💩 on, let's not leave any trace behind, leaving a positive message is far more important than a negative impact As you know, I'm a non farmer, but I am 💯 % behind uk farmer's Take care all The very best of luck with Tuesday Geoff

Cheers Geoff.

The food bank idea is brilliant. I hope all the Food donated is BRITISH it would really re-enforce the message about the importance of farming.

[@charleswillcock3235]

This Government listens to the people who fight their corner the hardest - farmers and businesses affected by these massive tax grabs need to fight tooth and nail to retain the current structure.

[@robertsmith9810]

well said

[@craigwatters127]

Interesting about cultivation, the ploughed heavy land I was working with a carrier just wouldn't touch it with 3-4 passes. A quick pass with power harrow at 13-15k and it was perfect.

[@davidchalmers4969]

Really good video, as always Andrew. A very sensible message re the protests in London, the industry needs to keep the public, ie consumers on board. Your friend Jane Craigie wrote a very good piece in the Press and Journal this week, well worth a look, as was the article by a prominent local agr lawyer. Glad to hear you say that Brexit is a big part of the problem, especially in England. A big danger for you is that it looks as if you are trying to overthrow a recently elected Govt which gained a huge mandate for change, including improving the services we all, including farmers, use. Some of the extreme messaging some of your colleagues in this endeavour are putting out is way too extreme. We do not have a "Commie Government" and farming is not about to end. The industry does need to put one voice forward and it will only succeed if it engages positively with the Govt. Good luck to you.

[@johnkeynes8873]

Australia, we use to be big on manufacturing of just about everything but not now,only one steel mill left here at Whyalla and now that's in trouble. 😢😢

[@ianfaulkner4398]

Great videos once again. The MP who said that we don't need farmers is a tube. When he and his cronies are out for a meal does he not think where all the fresh vegetables, meat,breads,milk etc come from . Most reputable restaurants and pubs ONLY want to use fresh local ingredients not imported crap.

[@rogerparrett1770]

Keep up the good work Andrew I think the 5 amego,s are doing a stunning job we are with you ,God forbid the government have got to be realistic,otherwise there will be caose with the second round of protests ,bring back the great in great Britain,all the best , Roger

Great to see you on gb news this morning , keep waving the banner ❤

@rogerparrett1770 Thank you.

[@davidchalmers4969]

which MP said that?

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

@davidchalmers4969 it was all over the internet last week. One of Blair’s advisors.

[@robdavis5711]

Smashing update! Pleased you’ve got all the drilling done! I guess now it’ll be sugar beet cleaning and collection, pressure washing all of the machines then tarmac plantings on the tracks and the odd day of wild civil disobedience in the city? Joking apart you’re right, anyone on the protest needs to be well behaved and a good ambassador for the profession. All eyes will be on the industry, it’s important that the day is good PR for farming as well as a protest against ridiculous Labour policies…

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Cheers Rob. 👍😊

Hi great video, good luck for the march on Tuesday,

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

👍😊

[@chrismarshall45]

You need to try a mounted claydon behind that John Deere, mounted because you can hold the drill on the tractor hydraulics when you get to a wet spot.drop the front legs in, that relieves any compaction and the tines put the seed in without riding out of the ground I’ve had some great results this year in some very sticky conditions

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

It came out worse that any other drill when we had 10 drills working in the same field 2 years ago, that’s why we bought the Weaving!

[@Ralph94967]

Morning Andrew. Every person within the Uk. Will and are standing with not just the farmers but every industry that is part and parcel the farming industry. From the main dealers down to the nut and bolts of it all This Labour Gov has blinkers on to what they have done and continue to do to sacrifice our food security The Gov have no idea of what they are doing 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Totally agree, thanks.

[@EddieRedX5]

Hope Tuesday goes well Andrew and this government sees. sense I do think it’s great that you and all your friends have taken the trouble to stand up to the government and put this massive rally on to try and help Farmers keep what they have worked for all there lives and pass it on to the next generation because without help from parents it’s impossible for young people to get a start in farming Every credit to you Andrew for getting all your crops in I tell you what there’s not many done that I must admit the weather has been better lately but your certainly on the ball with your farming Andrew which is nice to see every credit to you all and good luck for Tuesday Andrew just hope.

[@jhlane1977]

Posted this on Ollys video last night - The ripple effect of this budget has already started. A customer of mine has cancelled a nigh on £1 million order for new grain store and onion store with a local ag building company. So they won’t get the sale and so on. This cannot be allowed to happen otherwise the knock on for everyone will be devastating. Trying to explain this people without ag knowledge is very hard and they all seem to think farmers making a mountain out of a molehill. Tuesday is going to change this outlook.

[@ronanlucid9588]

Hi Andrew, great to see you got all crops sown..it is clear to me as outsider that neither of main parties really care much about british farming and food security, in current climate where US heading toward protectionism one would question the wisdom ...I really think bristish farmers will regret Brexit ..at least in Europe there is some understanding of importance of farming and food security...good luck with protest on Tuesday..

[@johnmullaney3445]

Hi Andrew, maybe this stupid tax might bring things to a head ,small businesses all coming together to stand up for the good of everyone! Looking from a cross the pond I think they public is with the farmers. Your farm looks great by the way.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thank you. 😊👍

[@andymarton6983]

Another brilliant informative video Andrew. You and the other KZbin hero’s are doing a great job. Aslong as we keep the general public on board I think it’ll force a U turn of some sort. I think if we get to the schools and push some sort of open farm policy that would do wonders. What 8 year old kid isn’t going to be impressed by your 8rx parked on the play ground. The general public must not be inconvenienced. As soon as builders Carnt get to work or blathering shit all over London the battles lost. Keep up the good work.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Totally agree, I do go into schools in the new year with tractors and talk to the kids about food.

[@peterdennis9359]

Nice update Andrew cant beat a good old power track at to pull up ground, doesn't always pay to get rid of everything

[@JohnnyMotel99]

I was under the impression that ploughing was not as good for overall soil condition, when compared to the light tilling done here.

[@johnhyde8892]

Morning Andrew, you are doing a great job I do look forward to your Sunday morning breakfast. I think you are going about it the right way to start with. Have you seen the big news that rachel reeves lied on her CV, it is very big news!!!🤔

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

I’ve had someone contact t me who used to work with her!!! 🤦‍♂️

[@johnhyde8892]

@WardysWaffleAndrewWard and is there anything going to come from this big news she lied on her CV what is fraud so I understand. I sent a copy to olly and martin, I watch a live video on KZbin all about last night very interesting!!

[@kevinharker1840]

All the best for Tuesday, i hope i'm wrong about the bloke from the NFU who did the interview with Patrick Christie on GB news, i got the impression he's gonna try and shaft the farmers.

[@DavidLawrence-i8x]

Considering the APR changes were allegedly supposed to close the loophole of non farmers buying up land for the tax break, you should be be stressing to the media and MPs the following: 1. The loophole has not been closed, just the value of it halved. Do you not think a halving of IHT liability to 20% is not still attractive to the wealthy non farmer? 2. The change will catch a lot of genuine family farmers who are not (allegedly) the target. 3. There are plenty of measures that could so easily have been taken to close the loophole without the collateral damage to the genuine farmer. Such as increasing the qualifying period for the exemption from only 2 years at present, to say 10 or 20. Newly purchased land added to an existing holding could be folded in. Or tightening up the definition of a farmer. There are plenty of people brighter than me to come up with such ideas or appropriate definitions. Shame none of them are in the Treasury. Maybe the loophole argument is just a red herring and they just think farmers are an easy target and a pushover…

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Good idea.

[@johnspall1877]

What,do you expect when we have a Chancellor that, according to people that worked with her previously, has been dreaming about her job title rather than what she actually did. She was never an economist but probably economical with the truth. This comes from someone who was 3 tiers higher than her. I personally don't think she will survive this week, but if she does, that will tell you everything about this disgusting government.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Olly sent me your message! Unreal.

To have a thriving public sector you need an even stronger profitable private sector they don’t seem to understand.

Think the best way to put pressure on the Government is to stop putting sewage sludge on all farm land and block other tipping options . That will cause a right stink in Government.

[@timgalley4391]

Demonstrated the family farm mindset when you were on the chicken shed bank, and that's OUR farm just over there. Rather than, that's my farm over there. Why is that new chicken farm a Brazilian investment and not a British investor. So many profitable businesses are foreign owned, all british cash profits leaving the country. Whether it be steel, ABP docks (Canadian pension funds), wind turbines (Danish & others), power stations, Sainsbury's (Qatar investment fund), water companies pumping sewage into rivers ( Chinese, Qatar, etc) major investors taking massive dividends through new channel island offshore company owning the operating company. Smart accounting or morally bordering on fraud. I thought Katie Hopkins summed it up describing "Lego head" Rachael Reeve's exaggerated CV on LinkedIn or many of the others have not got the brains to make the real tax avoidance companies pay their fair share so go after the few individuals that don't have a legal team at the ready. Sorry got carried away again
