06/12/24 Storm Darragh, and another barn?

[@erikklein-x6u]

You look rather dashing in the long coat! It brings back memories of a seafaring time when Britannia Ruled the Waves!

[@MrDbone75]

A very good Monday evening to you all

[@erikklein-x6u]

It looks like the kicker was auditioning to be the next winner of the freezer competition!

[@gilliantovey1014]

I’m on the Cotswolds and I agree, I think we got away it quite lightly compared to some parts of the country. One tree came down on the through road, but the farmer was out there clearing it all away really quickly. I think Sunday was our worst day, heavier rain and the wind went went round to the north which hammered the front of the house pretty hard. Haven’t had much rain since then.

[@TadhgKerins]

As an arborist Ian you may be interested to know that Darragh is an old Irish term for Oak. Glad you escaped lightly.

[@charleshart6992]

Great video and a great idea!

[@smallsuffolkfarmer]

More roof is better than concrete. Could you put a lean too off the big barn the tree team use for equipment? Along the yard side. Shallow wide sheds are better for kit than deep narrow sheds as the thing you want is always at the back.

🐏🐑 sheep , cute sheep , nice looking 🐏🐑 sheep , errr Farmer P and sheep 🙄 dangerous 🐏🐑 oh my 😵‍💫sheep .!! The Anticipation on Biscuits face so cute . What a windy , nasty day .

[@Catherinemab]

Extend the shed You're also going to have a sprayer to house as well 😂

[@marionstephen4972]

I hope you gave biskit her treat and thank you for your blog

[@irvenrathburn9421]

Hi MR, P got lucky with the storm everything looks good.

[@normandagger7542]

More Barn space is definitly a good idea

[@tractorman810]

bloody alert scared the crap out of me as well, we weren’t even in the red zone, bloody storm did take my garden wall out mind .good idea on a new barn for the kit ,everything we had went undercover , even in the summer, so it does hurt to see your kit out getting wet and rusting . think i would put it on the far end of the tree guys barn mind, where the bale trailer is, , full depth ,1 bay ,otherwise going to waste your feed rail idea if you go where you said

[@FarmerP]

@@tractorman810 I may end up putting kit in the big tin shed instead of the firewood, and put the logs in the new extension instead. Better ventilation and drying.

[@harrie1976]

So you have to think of how high your new tractor will be..😊😊😊 and that everything get it's own place..so you don't have to move it 4 times in a year

[@maevephipson2803]

Beautiful rams of Sam, the vet. Cheeky too, particularly Big Horn on your right. No flies on you, Farmer P. Busy chatting away to us and fast on the draw to grab ram's headgear before he could butt you 😱😃

[@sandymcghee3328]

Very nice video mr. P. 👍👍

[@paulbarr3981]

I am always distressed when I see a fortune in painted steel sitting around waiting for the next job.Hay gets nicely covered but implements sit out, but cost twice as much. Build your equipment shed as big as you possibly can. You will fill it to the edges.

[@julielumsden5184]

I agree

[@Sooty]

It's interesting to know the Met Office and Government have everyone's mobile numbers to send a Red Warning alarm in emergencies. Gone are the days like in WW2. You had an air-raid siren and run for cover 😮

[@erikklein-x6u]

We usually get two Tornado warnings on our phones in Illinois per year

[@paulleaver8820]

Good video 😊

[@MarkShesrer78]

Mrs p will keep you in check about your thinking on spending 🤣. Just show you how destructive wind can be cracking video as usual Ian

[@EddyVerbraeken-xy2ps]

As I said before , make your farm tools in such a way that you can pick them up with the forks and place them one above the other to gain place

[@craigdoig9486]

26:36 great content again

[@peterlockyer1348]

very good video as always 👍❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@farmernige]

Put a couple bays on the blue hay shed. Free up space in the others for machinery.

[@catpotter9503]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@russellpetrie119]

them two bays mrs p was on about you could have a gate in the back to get out to field behind it park tractor in that bit your right need a tidy up of yard though

[@ritchieblackmore5204]

Although it would be nice to concrete the yards you've gone all these years without it, personally I would chalk them if you can get chalk in Gloucestershire we can get it pretty easy and cheaply in Sussex, if you do concrete the yards you will have the problem of slurry to deal with

[@randyruzicka5669]

Just an idea how about a green house type building cloth covering that can be taken down if the light bulb goes off down the road on a different plan🤔

[@jeremiahkearney5191]

Evening Ian

[@christophercrockford9521]

Hi there i was a video on KZbin last night land and power and I thought of you as they had a jcb280 that I thought you would like to have a look at and merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and all your family

[@Yorkshireduck]

It’s simple, no man has ever said I have enough sheds. Like women have never said I got enough shoes or jewellery 😂

[@FarmerP]

@@Yorkshireduck 😄👍🏼

[@paulwarrilow3427]

I am lucky that my wife is of the opinion there are never enough sheds BUT she also has the same opinion about horses!! 🙂😂😂🐎🐎 The only issue I have is end up building them 😂😂

[@whankerakerill6293]

Looks like you can replace the chips 😅

[@harrie1976]

First new kitchen for Mrs p first the new kitchen then maybe a couple of bays. We talked about it in the Sunday live first Mrs. P kitchen update. People the tree was removed by the neighbours. And who do you think just lifted a little branch and thought that is not as it should go.

[@nigardener]

A mezanie above the grinder and lift the machinery onto it with the skid steer

[@andythewelder6181]

Would there be any milage in a lean to along the side of the big barn?

[@FarmerP]

@@andythewelder6181 We thought about it, but it would significantly narrow the access yard.

[@willyfindlay4398]

Love the way your version of the Lombard poplar and the Funky Farmer's version differ. Especially the free food did not make your cut. Does Mrs P watch your videos. 😊😅😅😊😊

[@Benzelf]

If I had to choose, I'd rather have the roof than the concrete floor.

[@FarmerP]

@@Benzelf Me too Ben.

[@bobuncle8704]

If you’re not too careful, Ian, you’re whole yard’s going to be under an awning. Not that it’d be a bad idea, mind you.

[@erikklein-x6u]

Lombardi Poplar as in Lombardi Italy ? Did the Romans bring those over?

[@erikklein-x6u]

I would think that you would have enough room in the existing sheds to squeeze all of your machinery in without building more sheds

[@fredharrowven1040]

Hi Ian, I must say I do like the sheep 🐑 you are looking 👀 after I don’t like sheep but they look 👀 very nice, You are getting the same as us rain 🌧️ rain it’s enough to make you kiss the dog and kick the wife lol, 🐑🐑⭐️👍👌🎅🤶🎄🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

[@casto-]

Dam sheep🤣🤣. I’d be tempted to put a lean too where you stacked the silage down the side of the barn. Make it just deep enough to put gear in and just high enough to drive the tractor under. Use the up rights of the barn to half the steel bill… just makes it a bit tight 🤷‍♂

[@FarmerP]

@@casto- I considered that but the yards and drives are already a bit narrow. This won’t be the last building I put up, we already have future plans for more.

[@casto-]

@ yeah, was just a thought 🙂

[@erikklein-x6u]

When an animal has horns,they know that they have horns

[@FarmerP]

@@erikklein-x6u True.

[@HughzieTube]

Could you not clean up the area down the side of your main shed/workshop (That second old cabin next to holy's kitchen running down to where the bale trailer is stored) and add a lean to roof down the length of the building. This would give you a place for machinery to be put under a roof without taking up potential cattle expansion space?

[@davidkellet1006]

Collinson plc do besto buildings dome with a stretched sheet over the top

[@roba4297]

Why not buy some sheets to cover the mower etc etc ? (As this now 10 days after the filming is there any point in commenting )

[@Dore60]

👍

[@markhicks9545]

More sheds is good plan but where best to put them is the problem cause I suspect the other farm could do with one two and these all cost money

[@johnm7354]

😀

[@michaelslinn7472]

Under cover is in my mind is better concrete can wait, but don't make Mrs p wait for her kitchen too long.

[@markh5433]

Personally I don’t understand why you put those barriers up like you have on the new shed…. 🤷‍♂️ Not calf proof, bails originally put on the outside, which imo there will be a lot of waste, thankfully you have put a ring feeder inside🙏👍…. Concrete naa don’t both! Put 1 1/2 bays up with Yorkshire boarding up all around and fit calf proof barriers 😂

[@heifferman9021]

Was this the 6th as your watch said they 7th?

If you can afford go for it pity you can’t get grants

[@FarmerP]

@@brianlever3767 It will cost money to build it, or just as much not to if I keep leaving kit out to rot.
