Best of luck with the new project, if you stick as many cattle as you can on that old wig don’t bother giving them silage give them a couple of kgs of meal a day and get them onto it yesterday! We took a place like this a few years ago and we didn’t get the cattle on to it soon enough most of the place was a waste of time that summer but we did take in sheep the next winter and they skint it spent about a week in it with a digger either digging up or burying the stones we couldn’t move oh and we put a couple of tons of lime to the acre on it straight away when we got it and that did sweeten the grass enough for the sheep to eat it to the clay. Fencing was the biggest job in the heal of the hunt, the land owner in fairness agreed to do the boundary fence ( supplied posts wire staples gates etc but not labour) but the internal fencing was our baby, we are 3 years into a 10 year lease and I was in it this morning it is looking well ( wet as heck but there is a good covering of grass especially on the about half that we have reseeded) . The one thing about that old wig of grass is that it holds up stock great so get as many onto it as you can and then hit it with the einbock or a good rough chain harrow get the lime out on it asap and maybe you will do better than us and get some good out of it this year.

I’d do what this guy says🤣🤩🤩👍

[@melhand3990]

Good idea Phil. It ll save the world of time and diesel it be so close to the home block. Do as that man said. Put as many in it as you can. What they won't eat they ll track into it. The lime is a good idea too but get it soil sampled. Best of luck with it.

[@aidanbrennan7389]

I think it would be very beneficial to your audience and young farmers who may be thinking of expanding their own family farms to know how you approached your accountant, bank, and the landowner to analyse the feasibility and suitability of renting the land for your farm. It would be interesting to hear the terms of the lease agreement along with: - The costs and benefits of renting the land, such as the expected income, expenses. - The potential challenges and risks of renting the land. I watch a lot of farmers on KZbin and it's not all positive. Best of luck with upscaling.

[@patrickaherne3598]

Sounds like it's the right move, just based on the proximity to the home farm. If only you knew a guy with a stone picker?

[@salmonhunter7414]

All the best in your new and big expansion.. Remember to stop and smell the roses.

[@cdemo1186]

The very best of luck with new Farm Phil,I hope it's very lucky for you🍀 Would you consider getting in a few hundred sheep to graze off that old grass? Not only would they graze it but they also fertilise it for you.

[@GoneDownTheLane]

Good luck with the new venture. I’m already looking forward to seeing the transformation.

[@pjdoyle5105]

Great stuff Phil. Best of luck with it all. Look forward to see the progress on it

[@oppamaclare]

A neighbour bought land like that with a butt of grass before. He cut it, baled it and dumped the bales. With the stones, hard to do that. Cattle walking it into the ground seems a good approach. Lime spread in a few weeks would help break it down too. Best of luck with it anyway.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Best of luck now with this new chapter in the farm plan 👍👍👍

Good idea having everything at home even if it takes some work to get it to standard will be better in the long run I would try a flail topper in that if your paying attention a rumble of a stone won't do it much harm

[@irvenrathburn9421]

Good idea Phil once you get it sorted out it will be just fine!

[@georgemorrison6689]

Its going to be a big job Phil but should be a good job when your finished, with being so close to your own place its a no brainer, can't wait to see it all coming together, good luck to you and all your crew

Congratulations on getting the new farm Phil, lots to do but I can see masses of potential and know you will do it, it has lots of things you can utilize for your job, well done and look forward to seeing it happen, good luck!

Great farm tour!!! Best of luck with yer new project looking forward to seeing how it all pans out for ye 👍🏻

[@RetireMentalityChallenged]

Nothing crazy about re-aligning and streamlining your plans, sounds very sensible. It must be hard to quantify the costing for this but if your not driving a lot of machinery as far just the diesel savings will help. Not to mention time. I look forward to seeing how you go about recovering this land. cheers!

[@ralphrogers3475]

Good luck with the new project. Looking forward to seeing more videos

[@ernopekkala4580]

Cut the grass with that old john deere mower and bale it. Then re seed it and roll the whole field. Mowers can handle stones if yuo just don't drive like crazy, greetings from Finland and best luck Phil!

[@ernopekkala4580]

but remember, don't use the baler blades in stony field and I would say don't rake because the rake pulls all the stones into the swaths and then into the baler and I recommend collecting the stones by hand after baling before re seeding. there is a lot of work to do, but I believe that you will get the field in top condition

[@richardleigh1762]

Onwards and upwards Farmer Phil , definately the way to go , good luck .

Great move Phil nice to see positivity in these times 👍 would be good to place sheep on the close fields to farm, and what about a slow tractor with a very heavy roller to deal with the stones 👍🍻

Hi Phil, great video, as always. We bought a farm that looked exactly like that three years ago, 120 aces, hadn’t been farmed properly in years and years. Great sheared hedges down, got drains sorted and put a n some new ones,Grazed it all down hard with dry stock and sheep to try and get rid of that awful grass. Turned nice and green afterwards but grass growth was still very very poor. What we did in the end was, soil test everything, got soil index and PH right, out wintered cattle to break up the matted sward, and re seed in spring!! Now take 4cuts of silage off and a total transformation. If you want it productive, it’ll all have to be turned or cultivated (we disced twice and power harrowed) and seeded. Good luck👍

[@SD43]

Amazing to watch you and the family going from strength to strength Phil. Congratulations on the new lump, I hope you put an option to buy in the lease🤞👍

[@paulfinnan1984]

How does that work an option to buy in a lease ?

[@SD43]

@@paulfinnan1984 I’m in the property game Paul, where you can lease a property that you can’t afford to purchase at this point in time but have a clause where you can buy it at a given point in the future.

You seem to thrive on hard work Phil. Try to cut silage where possible , plough , get stones out, plenty lime + fertilizer in, reseed, more fertilizer and then wait & see the benefits... but you do it your way

[@jamesrebanks6194]

That grass will be better forage than you think - we tested some and it’s better than silage! Just strip graze it with some rough cattle - there is an unreal amount of valuable forage on there - I’d jump at grazing it off Just keep em moving in small cells to make sure there is some green in the bite

[@mistaken_stranger8343]

Wishing you all the best with the lease. Getting good land to lease is hard to find, getting good land to lease near your own ground is near impossible. Definitely a good choice taking the land next to your own. You and your father should look into lease to buy agreements with the land owner. Good luck.

Its a no brainer phil! You just can't pass up the chance of land on your doorstep. I agree with getting stock out and eating that grass off asap. At least you have all the equipment to overseed, reseed and crop. You'll get it looking good, just takes time. Good luck 👍
