Over 200mm of rain has fallen on Harry's Farm so far in October and that's on top of the rain we had at the end of September. The result is saturated ground and impossible drilling conditions, which is causing a rethink..

Hi Harry, I found this channel a few weeks ago and I wanted to say that it is completely brilliant. As a typical urbanite, I have had no idea whatsoever what happens on farms and how they work and your wonderful narratives and video are amazingly interesting, enlightening and educational. Thank you for providing this channel to the world. I am waiting with bated breath to see whether drilling will happen soon or not.

On my wife's brother's farm on the Canadian prairies 2000 acres of crops were knocked down by an early blizzard and are probably close to worthless. Add to that a farm accident with a combine a week ago that badly injured one of his legs. At least the precip was good for the grazing lands so all isn't lost. Farming is a stressful occupation.

Hi Hary I find your farming chats very interesting and listening to the way you think and operate it shows me farmers are a lot more switched on than ordinary suburban folk might think... yield is obviously the primary focus have you looked to applying any smart farming techniques with IoT devices installed locally so you can build up more accurate "My farm" for want of a definition to weather etc... Looking at the colour of your soil it looked pretty clay bound at least on top.... is it practical to break that down with gypsum or similar...approach. Get the Ph to change.... over time. I have no UK exposure to farming methods, but in Australia the soil is incredibly poor quality and I am amazed what farmers get out of it....

Hello Harry October what a month, I do my own car maintenance of a fashion an got a few classics or derelicts mostly outdoors so the winter downbeat of mood has been an earlier battle to face off, common amongst car guys two many vehicles not enough dry daylight. It's got me thinking about temporary work buildings or awnings, car ports all that oh and of course car lifts for the amateur car covers perhaps a review show of such may be handy. P.s can you review a Sherp an combine both channels so to speak?! Great stuff as ever cheers.
@ghassanalfarra89354 жыл бұрын
I guess the weather during October has been extra ordinary all over the continent, not just in the UK. I've been residing in ex-comunist central Europe for over 23years now, and through out that period I have never experienced such a warm and dry October like this year, it would be 24 to 30 C during the day and not a cloud in the sky nor a drop of rain .. I was still touring on my motorbike last Monday with my summer gear on, never done that before in this time of year! Only yesterday has the weather gone back to being it's same old self , i.e 5 vish during the day and sub zero's during night time' but still, Oct 2019 was an October to be remembered.

Harry, not on topic, but could you consider an experiment growing say half an acre of Jatropha beans and having a go at making some straight vegetable oil (SVO not Special Vehicle Operations!) . Lister Petter rated their Diesels to use this stuff and even marketed a press aimed at developing countries after I ranted at their CEO some years back. Not sure how you heat your home, ( probably a woodburning boiler?) but this stuff would very likely work well in an oil fired boiler, could run a small CHP unit or even large scale power export. Not much use in your Silver Shadow but an old school Mercedes 300D or old pre TD5 Land Rovers etc would use this happily especially with a heater and changeover to normal Diesel for cold starting. Would also be interesting to compare economics of bio fuel production vs normal food crops vs a PV array ? Rgds Phil
