SCRAPYARD TOUR IN RURAL FRANCE

In today's episode of farming life at La Forge, we are scanning our heifers to see if they are in calf, by scanning the heifers first we'll know if we have enough replacements so that if any cows are not in calf we can get rid of them. Then Dad and myself are off to buy Scrap! we drive 2.5 hours to a scrapyard to buy a burnt down muckspreader. Dad explains his plans for it and then we give you a tour of the scrapyard

never seen so many burned out equipment .Declan is in his element in that scrap yard!!!

Back in the early 1980’s I use to run my agricultural contracting with Le-boulch 12 ton wide spread muck spreaders pulled by Ford 7710 and loaded with matbro ram & teleram 40D which came from Matbro in Horley Surrey, Great videos of all the burnt out agricultural machinery and listening to the person with you explaining the burnt out spreader and his future plans, 🇬🇧🇮🇪.

[@feirmfactor859]

Great video. Best of luck with the dung spreader refurbishment

[@dmcg6074]

I fully approve of the double zip overalls

Thanks for the tag along.

Great to see you PD cows in the locking yokes. We used are Jourdain locking yokes for TB testing for the first time - brilliant. Will have to buy more as didn’t have enough for all of them - so put them through the crush. All clear thankfully for another 6 months. All the cows were in calf thankfully. New for us was vacinating for DVD and clostridial as a bit more protection. I had to laugh when you told ‘dad’ not to scuff his feet - surprised you didn’t get a ‘dad’ quick answer back. Amazing scrapyard - I could do with a working back end for my Ford 7810, have lost 2nd and 4th gear - might be able to repair it via the stub axel. Wish I could get a set of the double zip overalls here, unprinted, I have never worn overalls due to the single zips!!!! I would need Brunyee Salers printed on mine 🤣🤣🤣 A lovely Sunday Evening Video treat. Stay safe and keep smiling.

[@lukeduke3001]

What causes all the equipment fires here in NZ birds nests on the engine causes tractor fires but we dont baler fires

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Mainly in the summer during harvest, if it is very dry and then get a rock spark off the machine

[@bryanrobertson3068]

Great video Laura. I'd say you could get a whole series out of that spreader. Your dad is a goodun to take it on. He deserves a new set of wheels and tyres sponsored at the very least. Look forward to seeing progress on it. Cheers

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Thanks! yes there will be quite a few videos on it!

[@Meowschitz]

Ya know if you took everything I have from 200 years and everything my cousin has from 200 years of family farming and ranching bet we got about that much crap laying around. Even the nicer big tractors John Deere sucks though sorry everybody else I’m even American International all the way!

[@muttgusse]

burnt metal looses its integrity.

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Ot sure does

[@douggilroy1188]

That's a great looking setup in the shed. Do you have much trouble calving them? The exotics seem to have a reputation here in Ireland.

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Not really, we calf them on the home farm

[@patrickgill-w2j]

Declan what is france like for buying a second-hand tractor? are prices less than ireland ..??

I’d say if your dad won the lottery he would just keep farming away until it was all gone matter how many millions it was !!

There is tools hire what helps a lot at least most of the countries in Europe it's existing so it's cost cutting and helpful if people want to finish their projects

[@andrewmellon5072]

Thank you for another interesting, varied and enjoyable video. Sometime could you explain the 240 cow quota and how for a young person Ireland, Australia and france compare life wise and starting farming or even settling down. My son lives in Sydney both he and his wife have good jobs, but their costs with 2 children and morgage, in my view they would be better at home. Th care

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Great suggestion!

[@farmerjack5324]

Great video as always. are there other smaller muck spreaders there. 10 cubic meter would be great.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Think the overalls with the cow logo look more professional than the ones with the tractor on them. Do you work the farm full time or do you have a full time job elsewhere, and help out when you can ?

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Thanks, they're my favourite ones too! I am full time on the farm and also work for myself 🤷🙂

We bought a 10 tonne Richard western muck spreader which needed refurbishing, we bought it for €3000 and it cost €4000 to refurbish but it was well worth it because it is as good as new now , other than Agriaffaires what other web sites have farm machinery for sale in France and are there monthly agricultural auctions in France ?

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

Leboncoin also sells machinery but agriafaires is better l. Not sure about auctions, I haven't really seen any

Do you guys come back over to any shows in Ireland ?

I'd go to the ploughing match but it's the wrong time of year for dad with the start of calving. Usually they'd go to the royal Highland

[@warrenknight1666]

Do you own all the farms

We own the home farm and rent the second farm 😊

Why no slurry in France?

[@nigelmchugh5541]

Lots of cereals, lots of straw. Bedded sheds.

[@ando5899]

@@nigelmchugh5541 so like the olden days here? Fair enough, always thought the soil misses out from the lack of straw for worms to munch on

[@FarmingLifeatLaForge]

There's more slurry in the north of France, it's more cereal/ dairy country. It's all beef around us and it's all strawbed
