The terrible 2020 harvest is finished. Well, almost..

The recent period of 30 degree plus temperatures has made the wheat fit for combining quicker than expect but with storms forecast, could we get the harvest completed before the rain arrived? Find out here.

[@janne-seta]

Hollywood employs countless writers and directors in mega-budget productions and yet can't produce anything as entertaining as Harry explaining farming, racing a storm to finish the harvest :) Let's see the twists and turns of the next season!

[@marinedrive5484]

I remember so many days like that on my parents' farm - tension, pressure and at times frayed nerves - that's farming in New Zealand too. Well done, Harry and good riddance to 2020 from over here too.

[@grahamperry7840]

Amazing how invested we have all become in the fortunes of Harry's Farm in the last year or so, Brilliant to see it from planting to harvest with all the ups and downs 2020 has brought

[@psyjayne]

Never thought combining could be so exciting👍😂

[@Lordwilliams1990]

You mean darn stressful.

[@ron56ify]

Exciting yes. And Harry drives anything anywhere. Forget F1

[@georgedoorley5628]

@@Lordwilliams1990 seen enough stress in my youth with combines ...........if you gave me onefor nothing i would not use it ..........very same goes for small square balers .................still love to see a combine in action ............a contractos one ...!

[@GenaF]

As a child, forty something years ago we had cornfields near our home and my Dad used to take me to watch the harvesting. As an adult, 50 in November, I still love to watch it especially in the dark.

[@HQBProductions]

Your films are a joy and remind me of my Great Uncles farm in Somerton, Somerset who was very traditional in that everything was from horse dawn days plus a threshing machine and several very elderly Fordson tractors, one or two of which worked! In the 1950,60’s it was a picture book but probably highly inefficient. He never worried..as long as they had something to eat, he didn’t care. I wish I had pictures to show but Harry...keep cutting, ploughing and seeding...it makes us feel good! 😀😀😀😀

[@elliotguitarofficial]

A very edifying watch indeed. If only more content was so informative and authentic. The frenetic pace to complete the harvest before the inclement weather closed in was genuine suspense and entertainment. I derive a vicarious pleasure watching a vocation that I’ve always felt affiliated to!

[@stewartshackleton7825]

Who would think that farming could get so exciting! Love the channel Harry.

[@davidepperson2376]

Wow - there's quite a bit of drama in farming that I never considered - and you captured it well. Thanks for another great post!

[@danield2000]

Well done Harry. These videos are so real and informative. Best wishes from Australia.

[@judih.8754]

Excellent! Sun and rain, tension and joy. Its over. Thanks for taking us along Harry. It's been a wild ride this year.

[@tinnitus512]

Hi harry, enjoy your videos. we finished harvest on the 12th, also glad to see the bsck of this one, but as annoying as rain is at harvest i would be happy to see some. In my part norfolk we haven't had any for weeks missing the storms so far and it lokks like the next batch coming on the 14th will miss us as well. The sugar beet leaves are on the floor each day now and are really struggling. What a season.

[@chrisflemington819]

👍🤗great video and thank you to you all including Mrs Metcalfe!

[@ginkotree08]

Great to follow you. Well done harry and Charlie!

[@rikdonovan3539]

Best Harry's Farm video yet. Riveting stuff and loved that he continued filming as the rain fell, really gives you a great perspective on farming. For good or ill.

[@vickijohnson4668]

What a nail-biting vlog! Bloody well done

[@stevelutwyche]

Wonderfully informative as ever Harry!

[@JohnJohnson-xm2mu]

Great vid Harry ,only came in for a peek ,ended up watching you guys racing to get done,well done harry

[@nhykoro]

Edge of my seat for you Harry as the spots of rain arrived. Gripping stuff, top notch.

[@jrushen4235]

Fantastic exciting video with added drama. Loved it....

[@kevintheilen9643]

I used to help two brothers with their planting and harvest. Rain started during planting. Brother on radio to brother-on-the-planter who wanted to keep going, "Don't make a mess of it..."

[@PixelSchnitzel]

This is fascinating! Harry, you are awesome at explaining this stuff. Thanks for going through all the effort to bring this to KZbin!

[@Denis-tg6jw]

My uncle had a farm of about 60 acres. He had a Dronninborg trailed combine with initially a four foot cutting head, then he traded up to six feet. It took a week to cut twenty eight acres of Barley, but they really were happy days.

[@georgedoorley5628]

barley was worth something back then ......!

[@richardmoore6848]

So stoked that we got another video already! Love your work Harry!

[@h069401]

You are one articulate farmer Harry; very engaging, thanks for another great installment.

[@WizzardPrang]

Edge of the seat stuff. Brilliant. 👍🏻

[@blitzsah]

Who knew farming could be so exciting. Thanks Harry

[@richardnunn6017]

I was on the edge of my seat watching that! Well done Harry/Charlie!

[@B0BHW]

Harry! That was a classic 'race against time' video. Way more exciting than some Hollywood movies I've seen recently! Here's hoping and praying for a truly great 2021 year for you!

[@oliverbrookes27]

I was in Perthshire last week, lots of fields of very short wheat and barley due to May's drought. Not much harvesting yet, but the area did get the storms last week, last Wednesday night was an 8 hour continual thunderstorm and very heavy rain. The huge areas of flattened crops the day after was disheartening.

[@superseven7947]

Great Video Harry, nail bitting stuff! I could almost smell the rain in the air!

[@abergwynantfarmvideos]

Clarkson can keep his new farming show on Amazon. Watching Harry's farm is far more educational and entertaining. Keep up the good work!!! 👍

[@tris7]

Well done! Great to see as usual. We've still got our spring linseed in the ground so heres hoping the weather clears up a bit!

[@cromulentparty]

Harry these videos are just so great, thank you.

[@suttonsplash14]

Love that shot of the storms in the background with the combine!!

[@dirtdevil70]

the Wellness Channel first time watcher from Canada..two questions. First. You mentioned 28day payment terms, is that normal? Here it’s next business day if delivered to and elevator or 10days if to an end user. Second.. I noticed when you were finishing the loading of the linseed, that the trucker had the hoist partially raised? Some sort of on-board weigh system?

[@TheFullyChargedGardener]

A brilliant video guys. Hope next years crop is better for you.

[@terrygreen4338]

Cheers Harry once again enjoyed the video very informative,spent all my early years on a farm on the Cotswolds with my grandad harvesting was the best time of the year for me. Clayson and new Holland combines no cabs , stones were always a problem if you picked one up 👍🚜

[@Robjess100]

Brilliant, thanks for your candour Harry

[@timkiwi]

excellent video Harry. keep the videos coming

[@markduckworth6643]

What a great video - takes me back to grain carting at nearby Eastleach during my student days. Thank you for sharing

[@jamesward7425]

Best episode yet!!

[@1055Richard]

Your thumbnail certainly shows signs of being nipped in the trailer. Another excellent video Harry, thanks

[@philhicks5818]

Lucky you harry, we still haven’t started our harvest yet and we are in the same county

[@karlsumner5594]

The combine, what a clever piece of kit!

[@MrRobinwhatley]

I don't know what was more impressive; combining to lightning, or the colour of Harry's thumb! 😲

[@simondavies5444]

Fascinating stuff. We live in a village in Suffolk and every August we have the grain trailers, huge trailers of straw and the Combine trundling up and down the high street between fields. Really interesting to see close up what actually happens.

[@ryan_henderson]

Genuinely tense ending! 😂 Thanks Harry 👊🏻

[@raycollington4310]

So pleased to see the positive lock on that reel. Memories of driving the Class Matador c/w 410 folding shotgun spring to mind. No automatic table control back then.

[@mohk8499]

Currently on the classifieds searching for a combine! 😅

[@firstfreonwarrior]

Wonderful entertainment! Thank you!

[@isctony]

Gosh, you're lucky to have some rain! we are still waiting here in Essex....

[@ConquerDriving]

Love this channel.

[@uniqprojects381]

Love these films! Give you such an insight in to what is happening , keep it up harry

[@antonoat]

No front crumple zones on a combine, you would not want to be run over by one of these, lol. Wish you all the best for the rest of the year Harry. Great video as always. PS looks like you'll be donating the thumbnail !

[@billbrowning3021]

Ouch, Harry. That thumb still looks like it hurts. I know you are glad 2020 is in the books.

[@tomling9310]

Great video 👍😎👍

[@sishabadab6570]

I used to drive a truck doing the silage in NZ , it's definitely an art keeping up with the harvester. You've also got to be telepathic to guess what the harverster driver is going to do next.

[@georgedoorley5628]

you would want to take a few lessons at ballroom dancing first .........i can pick up a hairpin bend corner with a baler and not block up same with a forage wagon but am lousy at side filling .........

[@ald7157]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrjonnyjones]

14:57 As Harry mentioned later in the video, the app is called RainToday - my Dad swore by it being a gardener/allotment owner. It's pretty accurate. Great video Harry, thanks!

[@jeffreyhodge5564]

While we are asleep people working through the night making sure our food supply chain is maintained ,deliveries being made ,agricultural machinery suppliers making sure there are spares for equipment , we have so much to be thankful for that hidden army ,next time you are going to chuck something in the bin because you have bought too much,or just got fed up with it ,think on and be grateful for our farmers ,Support uk suppliers ,say no to overseas imports where there good uk suppliers,shop local from shops who buy from local farms ,fresh and maintain img supply chains ;we would be up the creek without a paddle ,1939-53/ proved that! Thanks Harry and all your comrades.

That was fascinating.Thanks

Thank you Harry. Again.

[@jimgannon1917]

Combine thriller, nice one Harry

[@mattfreeman5618]

Harry, your videos are fantastic. You could make a film about paint drying and still make it fascinating.

[@ruststar]

Woaw Harry, your thumb did take a good squeezing indeed. Cheers

[@EleanorPeterson]

Nice going! But what's this? English weather? Changeable? Surely not... ;-) I think I've been a bit spoiled by Tom Pemberton and Farmer Phil, though: I don't half miss those aerial camera-drone shots. Of all their various applications, I think drones make a tremendous contribution to farming. For ignorant gawpers like me, it's great to see exactly how the jobs and machinery fit the terrain. Or not, as the Case may be (awful pun intended). Some of the hedge lines and field boundaries in Britain are ancient, going back to before Farmer Boudicca was chopping barley and Roman kneecaps with the blades on her Massey Ferguson chariot, so it'd be fascinating to see some more aerial shots of Oxfordshire when time permits. Thanks for another fine video, Harry. (I've just watched it twice.) The sense of urgency and determination comes across really well.

[@rotarolla1]

Why am I up at 1am? Because Harry's Farm is on and I love this channel.

[@Balfour99]

Ha ha great watching. Well done. About time 2020 was over !!

[@asdeaff]

Those boys really know how to graft & a cliff hanger right up to the very end !

[@billygreen9512]

I never doubt you normally! But that’s an auger tine! The fingers are what the knife runs in! And that made up of knife sections 👍🏻🇬🇧 🌾 ! Unless you are running in 🇺🇸

[@jeremymurfitt1512]

2 tonnes per acre - you will be pleased to see the back of 2020 harvest. I guess prices will rally strongly with overall UK yield being much lower. In low straw yield years does it become viable to bale straw (assuming the livestock farmers will be short) or is revenue outweighed by benefits of incorporating the straw into the soil?

[@NoWay23548]

A bucket for Mr Creosote!

[@MartinJG100]

Gripping stuff, Harry!

[@jeffcarter7197]

Fascinating viewing and so informative. Who said farming is easy!

[@red00eye]

That was bloody nerve-shredding.

[@fixedwheel]

Speaking of replacing "fingers", that thumb looks a right mess Harry. Glad it is still attached to the rest of you though! :-)

[@nickdecker2350]

Thrilling!

[@grenvillephillips6998]

Exciting stuff and with genuine jeopardy!

[@stephensfarms7165]

Fantastic job at night. Thanks

[@smokeybear69]

That was so much fun

[@mauriceupton1474]

You need a proper grain silo with dryer.

[@dDoOyYoOuUtTuUbBeE]

03:31 "That"s when you have to replace the finger" showing Harry's black thumb... Ouch, this must have been very painful!

[@ianatkinson9227]

Going to be a year to forget but may have to get used to these extremes haven't started combing hear in Yorkshire all spring cropping due to a wet autumn

[@davidbell1676]

Great time to be out in a E-Type that sort of beautiful day and 32 is not hot mate lol Eagle Speedster weather

[@beijingbond]

So, you're not busy then? Keep 'em coming, Harry.

[@Hoogee4]

I read that its a very good crop in Sweden this year. Why is it bad in UK?

[@robc3056]

You gotta admit watching the combine at work is pretty impressive poor engine all that work and heat

[@BritishAgriPhotography]

What’s the name of the weather app you use? I’ve been looking for a good weather app to use

[@nhilltiger]

Love Harry's videos- car and farm. However when you look at the farming videos, by Australian standards this is all cottage/hobby farming. As Harry has explained previously, farming in England is only economic via Euro subsidies. Post Brexit, the UK taxpayer/consumer will have to stump up with the subsidy, ultimately paying higher food prices, which is fine as long as everyone understands what the gig . Any Australian/NZ "free" trade agreement with with the UK will be comprised by having to compete against UK taxpayer subsidised UK produce.

[@nemtizz]

What weather app was that? Could do with a decent one.

[@GenaF]

Lol at the Rain Today ☔️ app I just installed. It says we aren't even expecting any rain yet it's currently torrential with rumbling thunderstorms. So much for its accuracy.

[@willemvancaspel2226]

Mad suspense!

[@Rodisflawless]

Any reason you don't have a grain bin?

[@maxtorque2277]

Watching this video i can't help wondering how many farmers and farm machinery mechanics have accidentally stood up, head first into the tines of the feed drum rake whilst working on the sheers or feeder? Probably something you only do once i guess........

[@TheJules2011]

How many acres do you combine?

[@danielbetts4861]

I do wonder how the ‘waste’ grain is calculated, some of the grain must miss the trailer is there a percentage you work to?

[@Holly-ku6qc]

What weather app do you use ?

[@MichaelDreksler]

Why don't we see more grain risers in the UK? Just comparing truck loading with a bucket loader compared with an auger.

[@stevef01]

Next motorsport - combine racing..
