Ploughing, Subsoiling & Bailing Straw for the Power Station

[@antsinyapants12]

Hi, I’ve subscribed to quite a few farming channels over the years and now I’ve come across your one. I can’t believe how professional you are and dedicated to your set up especially all the way down to employee welfare. My question is do you do a farm Tour

[@andykeeble1]

One of the best farming channels on KZbin.

[@thomasforbes8904]

This has to be the best farming channel So informative and a bit of fun too Keep it up

[@Easydrillman]

@thomasforbes8904 certainly one of the top three, that I follow

[@devally2432]

I'm retired now, I've been a lorry driver most of my working life. If I didn't have a deaf and blind Jack Russell, I would renew my LGV licence and seek employment from you. You run a first class operation and look after your employee's really well. Much respect and best wishes for the future.

[@gregchapman5556]

I’m addicted to this channel. You’re not a farmer you’re a CEO of a large company. You are so organised and on top of everything. It would be great to have a walk round with your machinery. That plough is a beast. You probably have the only Vogue in the country that goes off road 😂.

[@Mushyboy007]

Hehe, still loving it, every time a machine comes past you got the biggest of smiles…..

[@richardstrange7629]

Absolutely the best inside view on large scale farming with some normal humour thrown in . Shows that pressure is scaleable .You are industrial gardeners,,,,,,, big inputs ,big overheads, all gambling on the mother nature and the futures markets . Good Harvest, Thank you for providing honest home grown food for Britain .

[@andyshikes3425]

James, I’m really enjoying your videos. Not only am I learning an awful lot from you and your staff’s very descriptive updates, but you are also very entertaining. I laughed out loud a couple of times to this update! Brilliant and I hope your subscriber count keeps rising quickly.

[@louthboy]

less subscribers than a certain farmer in lincolnshire but you get more than double the views. Best farming channel out there, keep the videos coming please

[@markspeller5722]

Great channel, great content and a great team James. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@mshumphries9552]

James I was driving through France yesterday afternoon and pulled up in Lidl in Miramont de Guyenne and guess what, I parked under solar panels in their car park only hours after watch your video! Welcome shade for the car and generating power all using the same sqft of land.

[@Easydrillman]

@mshumphries9552 there should be more of the solar car parks, its a win.. win solution

[@oakfarmfirewood]

Solar over car parks are very common in the south of France and Italy, makes total sense and gives shade/rain cover to vehicles underneath.

[@matttobin9435]

Thank you for your time in making the video

[@keithhunt8124]

Brilliant love watching px farm video's .keep up the good work

[@DarrenPhillips001]

Heartwarming. Interesting. Brilliant. And for you so many challenges. I sincerely wish you guys were running the country.

[@aidanbrennan7389]

I have a feeling this channel will grow. The youtube algorithm priorities videos that keep viewers engaged. If new content leads to higher watch times, likes, comments, and shares, it signals to the algorithm that the content is valuable. Keep up the great videos. Greetings from Dundalk, Ireland.

[@stephenstokes8329]

Do like your views on health and safety and the welfare of your staff, I’m sure there’s a lot of envious people out there who would like to be employed by you, keep up the good work 👍

[@aja738]

I love the common sense explanations from James, great, keep going👍

[@aja738]

I love the discourse between Cousin Micheal and James.

[@peterwilson-qj2ds]

Another great update , nice to hear your barley is all done . Have a nice weekend and be nice to see you in the wheat .

[@robertallen3441]

Didnt realise they still made Wufflers, remember Dad using a Bamford Wuffler behind a Fordson Major in the 60's.

[@cl7m7nt]

Great to share your thoughts and daily tasks. I have read on the horsch magazine that you have studied at Writtle college, where I’ve been couple of time for parties while I was working at a farm nearby. I am a French farmer and I’ll keep watching your videos with good interest. 👍

[@user-dq5bo1yv9v]

Good video as always. Terriers all have a the kill switch 😊

[@MrFatdaz]

Another thoroughly interesting video, the only trouble is that these make me want to work in farming even more than yesterday! 😂 you’re a good people person James, I love the way you speak to the staff, they’re made to feel appreciated and a important part of the team 👍🏻👍🏻

[@roberthoward3723]

Incredible podcast, only just found you very informative and entertaining. Not many people ploughing good to see soil being turned over, very impressive on the Cat. The woofler was a revelation all the fancy tedders and turners and you still can’t beet an old fashioned bit of kit. Thanks I’ve learnt a lot.

[@johnrichardson4335]

You got us nosy Lincolnshire farmers hooked first thing in the morning phones will be ringing saying did you see how much is electric bill was😂😂 really enjoyed this

[@user-gm5xd4rn6k]

Best of luck with the wheat. Been glorious in Wiltshire today. Thanks for the comments on CTF 🚜👍🏻 Use kitchen towel or cotton wool to germinate your seeds.

[@MrMurrayWood]

Wet weather, wooflers and a wandering woof woof 🐶 What to prioritise 😊

[@chrislee2221]

Great video as always, good to see quality ploughing , it annoys me to see a ploughman racing across a field not burying half the stubble etc. Was always told your plough is your first line of weed control. Where we now live in France most super markets have covered car parks and some are now fitting solar panels, makes total sense to us. Keep the wheels (tracks) turning all doing a good job.

[@sharonbell7796]

Hi another great video keep them coming find them very interesting worked on arable farms for 30 years until I started my own business kind regards John

[@oakfarmfirewood]

Such a great form of content! Keep it up

[@gt3911]

Your explanations are brilliant - I have zero connection to farming other than it's interesting. The details you go into is so informative. 25k by September - easy.

[@RallyRobert976]

Great detail on running a big tillage farm and showing the insite of your business 😎

[@user-dq5bo1yv9v]

Good content as always James

[@Mrmuckshift]

Good afternoon What a fantastic operation you have built up to wat we see on your KZbin 💪🏻

[@user-vh3yn2zc5z]

Really loved the piece about ploughing, your engagement with the team is so impressive.

[@johndunne8123]

Another great video. Farming, farm economics and safety all in one

[@Downsviews1056]

Hi folks , Hi James and your great team 👍 your videos 📹 are so interesting you have some fabulous 👌 ideas to progress and we can have a laugh along the way . Thank you 🎉🎉🎉

[@stewart7810]

As always excellent to watch and absorb .

[@andymercer8092]

Good update. Nice to see things moving forward. Weather looks good for you this week!

[@user-uq6hm7di6k]

Great just great!! Fantastic video looking forward to the next one

[@casparAG]

speaking of bale loaders, i was invited to see the big bale co south facility, they make transtackers there too, really cool to see them being builtand learn how they work. theyre top quality. really really well built.

[@catar6029]

Bonjour James Vidéos tres intéressantes avec de la technique et de la bonne humeur Bonne récolte Salutations de France 🇨🇵✌️

[@mattbarham788]

Another brilliant video which gives an insight to the year farmers are having. Waiting for the wheat now in Yorkshire barley has done moderately ok 500 acres out of 1000 of rape have done ok hopefully the wheat harvest and hopefully the spring barley does well. Be another week for wheat all being well been a busy 10 days it has been glad they new combine is doing its job right for me.

[@KeithHill-wc3ew]

Hi James really enjoy your videos very informative and thanks for sharing with us.

[@Skidoo22]

I watch these videos while having my dinner

[@780special]

Interesting and very nicely presented video. Thank you . Miles away from my farming upbringing on a 240 acres mixed farm in the 60/70 's !

[@nickshanley1083]

Another great informative video James👍

[@jimbostruckingvids8173]

best youtube vids out there .awesome kit and machinery. great sence of humor. COUPLE OF WOOFLERS 😂😂 yes definitely have to be careful saying that 😂.

[@garethmcmahon9769]

Very interesting concepts James. Well done.

[@PaulPinner]

Great to watch your videos, leads me to reminisce! The passion shown for farming and the environment by you and the whole team is addictive to watch. Maybe you should get a 2850 to put on the topper! Although an IH 956 would be better! Keep up the good work and honest delivery James👍🏻

[@davidnorris6262]

Thank you James for another great video cheers 😄

[@stuartrobertson4714]

We have couch grass this year was told to cultivate feild at a slow speed to open out the ground and spray of with roundup

[@philhicks5818]

I spent 1000’s of hours ploughing over s-t like that , good old Oxfordshire clay , same plough and a 500hp John Deere crawler , your right you need the power to farm that type of ground .

[@keithcambidge6387]

Excellent video again 👍🏻

[@williambeard5526]

I've just started watching your videos. You have a nice farm and very good setup but the thing I like the most is the fact that when the combines go the wrong way you put a plan in place or when you get squashed by the plow you put a phone plan in place. Great work 👏

[@mungogerryjnr]

Never seen sub soiling of 40% before It’s not solely for compaction But I was impressed your actually using a proper sub soiler! I used to tier the bales like a pyramid for stability And I avoided power lines! I do enjoy the content James,I lived over there during the ‘90s and kinda miss the place🤷‍♂️ Hey that’s creamed honey dude,just put a teaspoon of creamed into the liquid and it will eventually turn creamed

[@simonbothamley3175]

Great vid I love watching farm vids

[@garyroberts8170]

Another great video James this farming shit is so interesting so glad I've found your channel

[@andrewwoods2142]

What an interesting and informative channel,thank you James. I have now subscribed!

[@andrewbalaam1678]

Great videos James, use kitchen roll instead of blotting paper, Happy Harvesting!

[@timcoupland5824]

I find kitchen roll works far better than blotting paper and way cheaper. Always germinate my parsnips on damp kitchen roll in a plastic takeaway tub for the veg plot. Great video cheers.

[@nigelhales874]

Very professional plowing 💪 strong caterpillar /challenges one my favorite farming video many thanks

[@peterclarke3300]

Another interesting video James and you couldn’t half see the tramlines, after the field had been ploughed which I was, surprised by and thanks for taking time, to make these videos it your busy schedule 👍👍

[@user-dh5on8dc7z]

I still say ploughing is one of the best ways to go.

[@simonspeedo8122]

@user-dh5on8dc7z sparingly yes ,continously not for me

[@tedepps9879]

Always enjoy watching your videos, and get a perspective of farming in the UK! Very informative. We farm in Isle of Wight County Virginia.

[@2009deerejohn]

Looking forward to the next edition, I hope the barley and wheat crops stay on the proper side of the ledger when the figures come in😊

[@MylesGregory-w2m]

Great videos James, we are farming in Shropshire and it’s extremely interesting to see how you guys are getting on over there compared to ourselves. We too have finished winter barley and are currently finishing OSR which for some reason hasn’t died off as quickly as previous years. Wheat will go end of this week w/c 29/7/24 . Look forward to seeing your upcoming videos

[@markpierce8674]

Love your videos very much appreciate real life content

[@kit5318]

Thanks again for your insight.

[@gunton21]

Brilliant video, so interesting. 👌👍

[@Oldgit-]

Fantastic videos, fair enjoy the content. Thank you 👍

[@JWBFarming]

James, were you buying your electricity through Anglia Farmers? We got absolutely stitched up on our electricity for our poultry sheds with them during the Ukraine Crisis, electricity bill went from £10k to £60k+ per year because they hadn’t hedged the price. We bought 70kw of solar and installed it ourselves for exactly the same reason you did.

[@stephenross1581]

Hey James, love the attention to detail you take over everything you do, this has to be one of the best managed and run farms in the UK if not the world, your forward thinking and staff management are second to none, a little question if you don’t mind, I’m sure you pay your staff very well but are then on any sort of incentive to get the job done, look after the kit ect ?, great video again looking forward to the next one.

[@rorywhittaker4485]

I baled some wheat up that was full of black grass as forage in early July and the black grass seed was viable then

[@scruftough]

Never leave the tractor engine running when working at implements .My tractor pto suddenly started itself when i was lifting the slurry pump out of a tank ,had to stop the engine and removed the pto shaft .It stuck in 4 wd as well It needed a new fuse panel as the old panel had corroded on the back over time with dust and moisture here in Northern Ireland. Scary education!

[@rorywhittaker4485]

I only watch this for the cousin banter

[@CMfarms720]

Really enjoying the videos James, Just curious as to why do you Plough now to sow mustard next spring?

[@tombaxter2997]

Good luck with the wheat harvest, be interesting to see what its yielded this year 👍

[@PeterGreathead]

Hi, I'm new to your channel and Im finding it absolutely great. Im not a farmer but I'm finding it all very interesting and have a question about your clay soil. Could you add woodchip supplied by tree surgeons & compost it to add to your clay soil to help break it down & fertilse? Many thanks Peter Greathead.

[@user-ox5qz3tv4c]

Really enjoy the channel With CTF, when ploughing, you're moving the tight soil over 14'' I know it will weather but do you consider that.

[@davecannings7396]

Great videos. Of you on ctf and your plough throws you compacted soil 16 inches (for example) one way surely that damaged soil is no longer in the same place? 🤷‍♀️

[@markyoull6744]

great video realy pleased found your chanel you have an amasing team when do you think you will start wheat thank you for all you do

[@user-fz9qr8vz9i]

Nice detailed video. Surely solar panels on the shed roof would be a good idea?

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Enjoyed

[@Easydrillman]

BG has outsmarted the scientists. Bayer waves the white flag

[@clivemillington5740]

Enjoying the updates James, what is the make and model of your plough?

[@haileyy1386]

STRONG MAN JAMES PECK💚💛💚💛🌾🌻

[@tj.farmer3905]

Grait info

[@casparAG]

the channel is really growing! well deserved too. love the videos. i have a question, how possible is it for me to start a contracting buissness at some stage im 16 currently. what steps would you take in my position if you come from a non farming family?

[@roberthiggins6401]

I thought you were supposed to sell and spit the honey out😂 Looks delicious and i know it is.

[@geofflake8599]

Can you show more of the machines working please. Good videos

[@timgalley4391]

Question, regarding energy usage. Considering you buy expensive electric and kero for the grain hospital and are at their mercy regarding prices, isn't it more than viable to have your own biomass heating and even power generation using the straw for fuel yourselves instead of selling it to the power station? I'm guessing you will say it's down to the capital outlay? Completely agree with the solar panels above car parks, planners could easily include it as a requirement. You want to build a supermarket or retail park then solar covered car parks is part of the planning requirement.

[@jascollinscork]

Brilliant video AGAIN guys .... ticking all the boxes for me,including the ending this time 😊 is the mustered seed the only ground you plough for then direct drill everything else? AND do you plant any cover crops till spring planting?

[@paulpreston1736]

Great video James why not try cotton wool for the seeds

[@ncombes6823]

James. Great video again. On the ploughing front have you ever considered or tried a slatted mouldboard plough, which we now run on our heavier soils?

[@tommurphy3544]

He’s like the actor who plays Lord muck 😉

[@Frank-mn9qi]

You could try cotton wool for your black grass seeds

[@Krypton-jx4zg]

You need some sheep to graze around those solar panels - about 2 sheep to the acre and they will keep the grass under control for you.

[@andrewvaughan265]

Liking the videos , but can your camera person show at times what's going on in the field when you're talking . Would like to see the machines working as you talk 👍🏻
