FIXING THE FARM ONE FIELD AT A TIME...

[@everestyeti]

Fields look so much better after the harrow and roller, couldn't believe the height of that grass. And those girls, you've obviously trained them well.👍

[@ChristophersMum]

They listen...and are up for anything😀

[@harleypyne75]

I genuinely think a video (sunday) of you and the ginger warrior going round the farm and discussing where youve come from to where you are and what each of you would like to see and do over the next few years

[@MichaelBradley-j6z]

Glad your thinking about a machinery shed. You have some great kit now and definitely needs to be under cover. Great vid Tom .

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

@@MichaelBradley-j6z I agree!

[@joycefuller9177]

It is so good that you are filming with your Dad. His knowledge is unbeatable and you can always go back and listen. You do not have to agree to learn. Say Hi to Jo and Harvey for me. Hope all is well with the family.

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

We are all stuffed full of knowledge, insights, information and all the useful stuff about fields and farming today. Thank you, I have been educated and informed.

[@ronaldlucas5360]

It is good to see you guys getting on to the fields trying to fix the land.

[@salmonhunter7414]

Not only all the improvement you have made, But you are now a DAD, best thing yet .

[@sharonm3677]

Oh Tom you always come through with great videos. I love how open you and your dad are in showing and explains what farming is all about. I so appreciate farmers and their hard work 24/7!❤❤

[@stevewareing8525]

Team Pemberton on the CASE & the Hurlimann, the problem areas in the fields will repair. It might not happen as quickly as you would like but you are probably better off than some other farms. Just keep doing what you are doing, adapt and overcome, you the Ginger warrior and the team can find a way around most problems. Remember it doesn't have to be pretty so long as it works.👍. PS: Hope the Germany trip goes well.

[@jimpolk]

Machinery shed is a great idea for long-term growth. Make sure it's big enough for the future. Plan 10 years out.

[@rutontuton]

Not Lazy- "Work Smarter, Not Harder"! Moon likes the grass.

[@wallyg6024]

The Ginger warrior- waste not want not. Used the chain harrows for 30 years. I love it.

[@sgibson5797]

Good morning from a wet and cold New Zealand. You are lucky to have your Dad to bounce ideas off. Good farming fellas.

[@ippaku]

Thank you for the Friday video. Hope your travels have gone well. Everyone have a great weekend. Be well be you.

[@marjoriebell4956]

Moon is having a blast! Enjoy your trip to Germany. All will be fine later. Love and prayers 😇💜

[@benjaminlamey3591]

After a few weeks we can say that you managed to somehow make the best out of it. grass looks pretty nice.

[@charlieread5258]

Tom, that post isn’t an issue don’t worry, I delivered the selco when you were away in Germany and didn’t struggle 👍

[@fionawoolhouse484]

25:42 Happy is a Moon frolicking in a field. ❤😂🐶

[@julianporter6929]

There will never be a quick fix for badly damaged fields Tom as you always need to have the right conditions to repair fields from heavy vehicles and the weather this year has been awfully difficult for all farmers to deal with but there will be a time when you can look back and say do you remember that really wet year in 2024 when every field was completely saturated with water and the mess that was caused, you will never have a perfect time because there’s just not enough time in a day to get everything done and sorted but with some good kit you will get it right eventually!

[@teresabrewer2661]

Great video Tom that's for showing it 😁😁😁

[@billjoat]

The Ginger Warrior is FULL of knowledge, long winded and has to tell it all NOW!!

[@Andy-ix2ox]

There’s a reason you’re called billy goat, Andrew is an educator by nature and you have to remember that a lot of the people who watch these videos are young people who probably learn an enormous amount from him without even knowing! Sorry about the billy goat jibe, I just couldn’t resist, regards from Ireland.

[@johnread2250]

Yak yak yak

[@michaelcoffey8008]

Hope all turns out OK and the weather improves u are so busy the hours u put in is frightening I hope all the improvement s on the farm that are adding to your work load will pay off ? Or am I nieve and it is just that dairy farming is a always long hours . I hope you get time with your family and maybe a day or two off u deserve it tom

[@peterclarke3300]

Great video Tom it’s looking better than it was and the fields will come back 👍👍

[@avgStan1234]

I think you need a "Yeomans 9 Tyne Deep Ripper" to move the water and air deeper into the soil. This will encourage grass root growth deeper in the soil and its decompaction.

[@PuFFerTV98368]

Thanks for the video Tom. Wet grass, cut grass, dry grass, grazing grass, good grass, and Bad Grass!! 😮oh my! BeWell and StaySafe ✌️

[@robertferguson2705]

Putting drainage stones into tracks is a good job, another great video keep it up 👍

[@jimboyd6615]

My first job working school holiday was turning pins for a pin harrow done hundreds on a wee manual colchester lathe

[@oakfarmagricultural506]

We bought a set of harrows like that 4 years ago and I would never go back to normal harrows! These harrows are great because of the leveling bars and the weight of the cast harrows, on half dry ground it can leave bare patches like a seed bed!

[@jasperkemp9025]

mate, you're doing a monster job giving us your content, whilst actually having a life and a farmers-life at that! Enjoy Germany and take care of yourself and your family, if you please! We'll be here whatever👊

[@archiecairns2731]

Tom Great News about the Calf Shed Grant so looking forward seeing all that hard core vanish. I am sure you'll agree it is beginning to look an eye sore. Glad to see you managed to get back on the land and address those ruts. It reminds me of my army days in Germany getting our trucks and trailer mounted generators stuck. Where in Germany? Can we look to a Sunday video now that your back from your travels.

[@EddieWatts-j9i]

Same job yesterday. Spun the seed on with quad and slug pelleter. Pulled Cambridge rolls behind the harrows rather than flat roll but they do snake about a bit.

[@mikeman584]

It will come good, the harrow and the roller was all helping. Hopefully get the machinery shed up. Btw Cornthwaites have a nice 08 Case Maxum 125 and a Redrock 1600 gal slurry tanker. Would make great additions 22k and 5 odd k respectively. Enjoy Germany 🇩🇪.

[@dutchgram3799]

Moon, one happy dog! Wide open field to run.

[@simongodfrey1048]

Put those harrows on your front linkage tom and put the others harrows on the back we been doing this for years your be doing two passes in one and makes a good seed bed

[@moirarowley4031]

You mentioned new calf building, what are your plans for it? I can't wait to hear all about it.

[@FloWBots1]

You can also turn around the "net" we use it the other way around to level out the molehills in the spring

[@JDseller1]

I have had to rut fields like that to get corn silage (maize) harvested. I am lucky enough that our ground usually freezes deep enough to greatly repair the compaction over the winter. I do not think your ground ever freezes there so the compaction is a longer term issue. Keep your head up Tom, you had few choices with just about all of them bad. Really wet or dry years are beyond our control. At least with livestock you can keep them health and producing which will help offset the crop ground problems.

[@46rambo49]

good golly don't you folks have any discs in the UK? always fun to see other folks in Ag solving issues.

[@iainkilpatrick106]

One of them rollers which spikes the ground would help with compaction, drainage and let the soil breath. Push a dealer for you to demo and do a review. If a good job they would sell bucket loads of them. Fermanagh is a very county and they subsoil the ground to help with drainage. We have wet fields and we have to plought evey 6/7 years to help drainage. Gets a dead pan on the top with all the slurry.

[@mikevanvlaanderen2920]

We own the a same sort of chain harrow but from the brand Jako. We also use it after grazing, its a great way to distribute the left over cow patty’s for faster intake in the soil so the field gets fertilized a little more spread out instead of you getting those lil bobs of grass everywhere

[@johnwarwick4105]

Sure beats having to lay out the roll up harrows. Finish the field pull the leaver and off you go, best thing I bought for a while

[@mrvanahead]

A harrow like that is used a lot in the Netherlands to harrow after cows grazed a field. Or in spring to even out mole piles. We have a worn out 40+yr old one. But i never pick it up, just leave it on the ground. It doesn't warp that easy. Also great for evening out.

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

Wow ive been watching you for five years never seen this . Well a year in farming always different . Look at yhat ehit thing in the field just cruising. IYS MOON 🌙🌝.

[@bramhague2010]

Would you ever invest in a slurry piping system, would get more slurry out quicker with less compaction

[@pcplayerclarkey3026]

Thought you were gonna wait till next year for more big projects. Guessing your break from big projects is officially over now 😋

[@karlmorgan3678]

Those rutts are going to take some getting rid of, might need the power harrow first

[@charleslynch7274]

Tom great patch job

[@davidormrod1474]

Tom could you do the ruts with telehandler on crab steer and get both sides in 1 pass 🤔 not sure if it would put it might 👍😉

[@ni.r33gtr68]

The sward lifter will be a great addition 👌, especially after such a poor year weather wise 🤦‍♂️ Do you have soil samples done? It would be interesting to hear what your ph and calcium to magnesium ratios are 🤔 higher levels in magnesium can leave soils a tad on the sticky side 👍

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Good luck with everything on the farm ahead keep the faith 👍👍👍

[@nielsleenknegt5839]

Here in Belgium, today on the news, they were talking about how July is the 10th month in a row were we had more rainfall than a usual month (since October, basically) I think they base that of historic data and what an average would be.

[@thetessellater9163]

The job's a good 'un, Tom, well done

[@KevinJD2030]

Chainharrows are class they can do a lot of jobs. I inmeadiatly bought one after I got my tractor have used it quitte a lot til now.

[@Unknown-ny4ei]

Looks bad Tom, you will get it right, thankfully it’s not he quite as wet in Cumbria but still wet enough especially at the minute it’s just not letting up.

[@euricoferreira5437]

Nice tom🎉

[@joewray2722]

Hi Tom, I see your grass has come well, could you have run over your ruts after the harrows with the power harrow very shallow to move more soil into the ruts?

[@marcusmcsorley_1]

Damp enough for a tickle with a power harrow with knives fitted , fill the ruts , chuck some grass seed on and roll it 👍

[@ryanwibberley7186]

Could we get a day in the life of your dad or give him a camera when you next go to a farming event

[@soapy19751]

Hi Tom good to hear things are looking up for your partnership , love the hat in todays video are you going to add it to merch ?

[@ryanwibberley7186]

Have you ever reached out to any of the American farming channels to possibly doing a trade where you go and spend a week working on there farm then have them come and work on your farm to do a comparison between how farming is different between farming in the UK and the US and if you both would change anything to your farms based of the experience you have gained

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

@@ryanwibberley7186 never done but sounds class that!

[@robfishpond3026]

Always love a longer video 👍🏻

[@lesterhertel2945]

I feel your pain with the maize not growing due to lack of warmth, I have sunflowers that have not grown past 30cm tall 0_o this summer is such a wash out for growing so far its stressful

[@cindyconnour446]

Clever not lazy…….always 😘

[@Mother..nature..77]

Great video Tom 😊

[@jamesmarsh4957]

That has recovered quite well really looks ok now for what it was like and really if you had not have cut it would it ever have dried out , I doubt it , could you not get hold of a mole plough in the Autumn to break up the compaction a bit if it dry's out , just a thought I have done that before where I use to do some milking and that land was drained like yours but it worked and helped with the drainage , Your maize will catch up and it was a bit later going in , don't stress it always works out , nature always balances it's self out , ( I worry about everything as well )

[@markyoull6744]

great video tom enjoy germany

[@ballyhoulihanagrivideos397]

The challenging year continues.Grass growth here very backwards as well as too many showers

[@jamesburvill3243]

He is sure going to love that while

[@PaddyGun]

I know the feild is probably longer one way but I don’t understand why the harrowing was done in the same directions as the ruts? Would it not even out a bit better if the harrow was ran perpendicular to the ruts .

[@jamiegould2682]

Grant for everything

[@lisahuddleston867]

Poor farmers my arse

[@EifionOwen-g2h]

I'm a farmer can you do us a favour . Don't eat or drink anything a farmer produces !

[@Markmackintosh]

We use jbourne got same harrows good for mole hills too

[@witty97421]

Great vid Tom (like always)😂

[@brendancasey7392]

Far better job on the ruts Tom when the harrow is folded up 👍

[@davidhall5130]

Would you look at getting a heavy duty grass harrow seeder with roller on

[@kevinberry4949]

I think it was 1974 that was as wet as this year , good luck for second cut

[@mclarenrob2]

My Dad bought a set of those, they wear out really fast so they barely do anything after a while

[@rake199]

Drain tiles underground do you need to invest in those to help? Unless your renting the ground

[@johnsebar7807]

grass always grows back, seems risky with maze if something goes wrong you loose it? great video with lots going on thanks

[@faithobrien911]

Have you got a set of duals Tom??? I would chuck the duals on the back, harrow, then roll and it'll all come sweet ;)

[@Ralph94967]

Diary farm without a good set of harrows aint much of a dairy farm harrows get the dung broken down helps fill the holes in and also gets the old done grass out the ground great investment

[@focirs7484]

Field conditions seam to be a regular occurrence with your location and climate changes, tires with better flotation be an upgrade. But that was wet.

[@jascollinscork]

Great to see ye fixing what got torn up correctly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I spotted that grass tine yolk last week too!!! You’ve said that the super singles trailer did a pile of damage so why ye use it OR why contractor not supply other trailers like other harvesters???

I really thought it’d take more work than that to fix the fields. Looks good though. Nice some grants are coming through. Ever little bit helps. With the way the weathers been, everyone needs all the help they can get.

You need that roller with the spikes on again. Slitter? Might help with the water.

[@cgln8760]

When the ground is wet, have you thought about getting drone spraying companies in to spray seed/fert etc?

[@brissygirl4997]

Tom how did the fields you put the special micronutrients that you'd never tried before last year or the year before do with growing and harvesting grass?

[@Flexhegarty5710]

That’s like triggers sweeping brush he said he had for 20 years. Those castings only last 3/4 years then they wear. Once one breaks they all start breaking. Better off changing the full set of chains once they start to break. 👌

A decent machine driver with a ditching bucket on would put the worst of it back to 95%

[@julianporter6929]

You might have to think about getting a contractor in to do some mole ploughing to eradicate the wet spots in your fields?

[@hightde13]

I seem to recall talk of frequent move paddock grazing quite some time back. Is that still something you are looking towards or is it not a fit for your space?
