In today's video, Bertie catches up with Dean Sparkes. Dean is milking 350 cows on a grass-based system, focused on keeping things simple. Dean gives us a tour of his parlour, handling facilities, housing and slurry storage.

Surprised none smashes in to each other. Very simple system if it ain’t broken why fix it.

You know you've some yards to scrape when you have two scraper tractors!

Great to see a fellow Firstmilk farm. Would a slurry channel from the further barns to the reception pit be a better investment than a second scraper tractor?

Should get a large scraper made 8x4,8x6 save a 5 hours or more a week scraping. I presume he had to buy out the brother's share in the farm to stay farming. The UK interest rates won't help his cause.
