One thing I thought you might have added in this one - when you were talking about the 80s drill, and how "now, with all the straw/stubble we have these days, it won't work" - you might have explained why that wasn't a problem back then (i.e. burning as well as conventional till back then).

Harry - I've seen some good science on NOT cultivating the soil Just leave it to create the interconnections of bacteria (can't remember what they are called..) you might not get the same output per m2 but it might cost much less to get what you get.(I'm not a farmer this related to a smallholding just interested in your thoughts)

[@harrysfarmvids]

There aren't any 6m margins around the fields going into linseed because they're a bridlepath near by and they got abused by walkers constantly using them as new footpaths. These margins are meant to be wildlife sanctuaries, so dog walkers letting their dogs run free on them scares all the wildlife away. I received 2 warnings from Natural England for not policing them well enough and I also wasn't making myself very popular with villagers by telling them they were trespassing, so I did away with them close to the footpaths but still have them on the more private areas on the farm.

[@jcdasha]

You'll be doing well to get rid of Glyphosate Harry, but having used the rake for 4 years now, it does help get a chit and cut down volunteers, but you'll need to go over a few times and then give it a shot of round up...I would look into companion crops...

[@harrysfarmvids]

Interesting. I was concerned I was moving too much soil around with the Carrier, hence thought the rake would be a good option for when there's not too much trash to get rid of too. Let's see..

[@jcdasha]

I use a simba express (like your carrier) on OSR stubble where slug pressure is higher as I feel it breaks up the habitat a bit more moving and incorporating etc... However the rake (in may opinion) is better where slug pressure is a little less and you just want to get a chit and break up the straw. I like the rake, its quick and doesn't use much fuel, you can easy cover 20 acs. an hour. I would strongly recommend a visit to see Jeff Claydon during the off season and also the guys at Mzuri (my seeder) both companies are very supportive of customers have a wealth of knowledge and a great example of home grown engineering, always experimenting which is great!

why do you buy flax seed in bags to plant and not keep some seed from the last harvest?

[@paulotex19]

I wanted to ask the same, thanks for typing it out for me. I have a possible answer, but it is just a conjecture: perhaps the harvested seeds are optimal for oil and not for growth, while the ones in the bag are special for growth? This would mean you get better yield (and better profit) doing it like this...

Harry have you ever mapped any of your tractors just for that ‘little’ bit extra out of them

No but some farmers do. Tractors often have a boost function that increases power when the tractor detects a need for it. Not exactly sure how or when but you can feel it kick in when needed!

Harry can be seen in Episode 1 of Clarkson's Farm at 12:16 :)

[@gplusgplus2286]

Awesome video. Why did you have to buy bagged seeds instead of using your own crop to seed? I'm not a farmer so this may be a silly question.

[@harrysfarmvids]

I'll do something on this in a future video but seed comes in bags because it's generally been, germinated tested, 'dressed' (removal of weed seeds etc.) and then a seed coating added to help prevent soil diseases or fungi attack. It's also weighed accurately so you can adjust the drilling rate to precisely the target kg/ha. You could use seed straight out of the shed but it if there were any impurities(stones, twigs, leaves) in it, the drill might get blocked and it would be more prone to disease, etc.
