As a part-time occasional helper on a farm in WA, I can tell you these machines do catch alight and start fires in fields regularly here. Harvesting is often in daily temperatures of 40c+ and a bit of wire or a stone creates a spark that ignites the dry trash behind the machine. Windy hot days sees total harvest bans imposed by local government as the risk becomes too great. Good to see harvest underway Harry and Charlie!

A year like this is when it pays to have your own combine and pick the optimum time. I was down in Toddington at the foot of the Cotswolds. There was somebody combining at 8 am on the Saturday the 10th! I was thinking that is going to have to go in the dryer. But I guess if you are dependent on contractor and with all the harvest merging together into this narrow window, you need to combine when they can.

Good job Harry, glad the yield is better than you suspected. Coming from a farming heritage (though not one myself) I fully appreciate the 'balls out' to bring in the crop at the perfect moment, and the exhausting work that entails. I also smile at the stories of the townies who have bought a place in the country then complain they can't sleep for the harvesting late into the night. Personally I find it a very restful sound. 👍

Still seen some big fields unharvested, and I'm thinking ''what are you waiting for? The weather's surely going to turn soon.'' But I guess there just aren't enough harvesters and drivers to get everything done in the most timely manner. Great to see that you've had a bit of a lucky break.

Britain has not been self sufficient for centuries. Farmers like Harry prefer the safety of management schemes that pay you to do nothing to your farm rather than risking good or bad years, like the year Harry didn't break even. Govt is part of import strategy but the reality is that farms elsewhere in the world charge less for their grain as it is lower quality and less costly to farm like any modern commodity.

@@jackw9920Blame Michael Gove & his ‘public money for Public good’ nonsense. As if growing food isn’t public good 🙄. Like all government bright ideas that don’t work when they clash with reality, it’ll be quietly dropped over the next few years (having been claimed a great success).

The old saying of 'make hay while the sun shines' really applies here, especially as we've had far too much rain this year! Looks a decent harvest so far, a lot more preparation work than many people would ever realise if it wasn't for videos like this, especially with keeping the combine in working condition all the time.

Where’s Stanley when you in truck and combine. That Grenadier looks better than the one you reviewed . Think Charlie and Kaleb need do a show together mix farming and cars etc.

Brilliant ! Better than the "Archers" I know MORE about farming than I EVER knew, or thought that I wanted to know ! It"s good to know all about the Gov. Regs. and why we're losing SO MUCH land ! I still DON'T understand fully why we have to stop farming and buy stuff from abroad ? Seems so Crazy ! I hope the Cows are alright for this coming year ! Stay dry ! Stu xx

Here in Czech Republic, it's been 30-33C and sunny for most of the country for days on end. An early Spring, then April frosts, wet May/ June. But the harvest began during the 25th week (a week earlier vs 2023 ) for "Winter Wheat" ( 62% of the cereal acreage). The Ministry for Agriculture will do an update in the coming days with yield/ hectare by cereal crop type and rape seed.

The Grenadier - brexit summed up so well. Designed and produced in the EU by a tax exile and a shonky drive down memory lane to a time that never existed. Great to see the harvest going well.

Harry, I'd be really interested in your take on how taking land out of production via subsidy might affect food producttion - surely this will mean imports, potentially higher prices & balance of trade? Ukraine is not going to be producing much of a wheat crop this year for obvious reasons & Russia has banned US grains due to GMO so will likely buy up most of it. Don't know if US is low-gluten this year like your latest crop, but if so bread, pasta etc will be expensive going forward. Should mean a good 2026/7 premium for those that drill?
