Insight into how we manage the 80acres of organic pasture land on Harry's Farm and why I believe this method of red meat production is sustainable and actually good for the planet.

Actually the teachers could learn a thing or two....... Had loads of school visits over the years, and the comments from teachers have been a real eye opener..... Such as sugar beet..... " But we don't grow sugar in the UK, it's too cold"..... Then there were the potatoes.... " But won't the green ones ripen later?"..... Not much hope for the future

Fascinating Harry! Think I'm liking these farming videos even more than your car ones! (and that's saying something) Thanks for including us here in Ireland as sustainable beef producers. The eco-mentalists here jumped on that report as a reason to kick the beef farmers. But then they wouldn't like your car videos either 😊 Looking forward to learning more about farming (and cars)!

Yes the cost is more but you pay for what you get! Do not get me wrong! I'm no rich man, I believe in animal well being all the way and to save the environment is just important.

The dairy farm I worked on in the 60s kept the cows in sheds over the winter, fed them grains, silage and hay that was all grown on the farm. In the spring the cows went out to controlled graze a filed, the control was an electric fence advanced twice a day during milking. When the fence reach the top of the field then cows went into field two and so on. Field one then had winter bedding spread on it and chain harrowed, the grass growth and second cut, would then be cut as silage or hay for winter feeding. Brewers grains were also used for feeding.

Absolutely wonderful Mr Metcalfe. As your engine builder said, "you lead a charmed life". Cows are so intelligent , they have an enormous brain and we just stick them in a field to eat grass. Ask anyone who has spent time around them and they will confirm their character and propensity to learn through observation.

Very good video...Love what you doing here Harry. Was listening to Radio 1 in the combine ealier... Was absolutely shocked at the way the news was discussing "eating meat" to be a comparable sin to burning rainforests / private jets....Where is the NFU / someone to stand up against these arguments? No wonder the young population are getting side tracked....they think its more healthy, and better for the planet to knock down a rainforest half way across the world, grow a crop, ship it back across the world and eat it, than simply eat some local meat, reared in there own countryside, in a field that could be used for nothing other than this anyway.... Totally agree with your points / they need someone like you on the news!! Keep up the good work! (I am also a car guy on a farm with a YT channel!)
