Tom, one thing about your videos it’s proper warts and all content. The good the bad the ugly and everything in between. You’ve got what you’ve got in the clamps, you will have the maze. Hopefully the ground will dry out a bit see if any off it can be rolled out the get any slurry on reseed where it needs it you might get decent second cut and better third. Life has a way of balancing its self out. Hang on in there keep smiling keep making the great content

[@teresabrewer2661]

People don't understand how hard farmers work to put food on our plates, because without you all there would be no us. Well done to all you farmers who have slogged to get your crops in this year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Shlim_him]

The past few years for me and all the farmers have been so tough at one stage I was going to give up but I powered through 😅

[@MrHahaJayuman]

And with no miners there would be no materials, and no trades no homes, and no doctors....blah blah blah....you can say it about literally every job.

[@JackCrowley281]

​@@MrHahaJayumanand with no food starve

[@1MrMoor]

They work no harder than millions of others… in many cases they work even less hard as so many others work. Try and be honest, try and be realistic when making comments that are utter crap…

[@nielsleenknegt5839]

​@1MrMoor they do work harder than many others. Why do you think farmers are dying out? The work is to gard and the new generation doesn't want to do it.

[@MrPurkle]

I love how the ginge automatically started steering the tractor so you could eat 👌🥰

[@sgibson5797]

Great father and son segment.

[@MrPurkle]

It's so subtle but so lovingly obvious at the same time, the bond they have together is amazing 💜

[@thedirtygardener]

You did the best you could with the situation. Sometimes it’s about persevering and pushing forward. Well done. Also, it’s really great seeing videos of women working side by side on the farm. It started with Heidi - she was awesome. As a woman in her 50’s… you just don’t know how important it is for young girls to see these opportunities. Great job Pemberton family!

[@toondedecker3088]

19:58 cheeky Hannah 😂

[@bachandefi]

Churns my guts to see the mess. I've been there in the past and have made ruts that you could have buried cows in but it'll dry soon and it's marvellous what a harrows and a roller can do. Keep at it Tom.

[@JonDingle]

Just wait until October when that Maize is ready, you think the fields are chewed up now!

[@nickhunt811]

Tom just watch your first few videos and look how far you have come. Just look around you dad is still able to work with you. Your wife and son. Just look at that mess and be happy to be able to have the opportunity to have that mess. You should proud. Not dissapointed. Sometimes slower faster. Take it all in while it's still there.

[@avafw60]

Crickey you were right about how wet it was... We just used to do half loads when the fields were very wet, dont get me wrong we still made a mess😅. Thanks for sharing this Tom, like Olly you show the bad bits as well as the good times. Your a class act.. Cheers Tractor grandad

[@eddienoel1149]

Great to see father and son working together, I would have loved to have been able to do that, my Dad was a tenant farmer until I was born (I am the youngest of 6) he stopped farming in 1963, he got to 98 years young, father and son together on the farm is probably one of the reasons I love this KZbin channel, chapeau Pembertons

[@joycefuller9177]

Keep on keeping on and showing what real farm life is like. Hats off to you!

[@kimrafferty7170]

Oh Tom, I do not know how you all persevered through it all, thank you for showing how hard it is to bring grass in, let's hope people who make all the farming decisions in this country finally realise just how hard it is for every single farmer in the conditions you are all struggling with to bring food and commerce to this country. While watching Clarksons farm I watched how they are using seaweed to combat drainage problems, I remember your dad talking about how compact areas of the fields are and watching them blast into the earth then pumping seaweed into the space created which then allows the soil to drain, prehaps it might be worth trying a couple of fields to see IF it could help. Climate is being blamed for the amount of rain and I can't see it improving anytime soon. I live in Kent and the last few days we finally have had temps above the teens, I hope you are getting some good weather so the fields can start to recover. Thank you for everything you do Tom, love to you, Joanna, Harvey and all the Pemberton team xxx

[@archaeolas]

I appreciate you showing us the problems and challenges you face along the way. It's great to see you and your team smiling even though it's obviously been an absolute nightmare!

[@sharonm3677]

Awesome video Tom! You always show the reality of farming and what needs to be done and problem solving on the run! God bless all you hard working farmers and the strategies you can come up with at a moments notice to make things work and always ensure we have our food! Love the clamp! Love the smile your dad always has. ❤❤

[@johnwaddell7239]

we need an update 3 weeks after lifting to see how well the field has recovered

[@goldcoastjon]

Will you need to wack the mud, break up clumps , and reseed bad sections? [LH using hubby's laptop]

[@EddieWatts-j9i]

Wag a bit of extra seed on the bad bits, chain harrow and roll ​@@goldcoastjon

[@s1mon1983]

I get so stressed out when I sink in and cause ruts like that. I think I would have a melt down in your situation - you handled it very well 😄👍

[@mattyod73]

Great video to as useal. You will have plenty of practice and pulling tractors out when the maze is ready to cut . When I was younger my dad always covered the pit with dung. It was so much fun taking that off on a cold, wet winter's day 😢

[@feirmfactor859]

😬, quiet wet. Strange year, cold start to summer. Great video showing the realities.

[@nhut.phamcm]

great my friend

[@BoovyFarms]

Been a shocking year for all farmers Tom good to see you shining a light on how hard it can be. At least you made the best of a bad situation we just managed to get our hay in but it’s dried out now. We’ve lost 3 arable crops this year due to the weather and now we are struggling with ryegrass and blackgrass. It’s never ending but got to keep trying.

[@BauerHermann1811]

Here in germany we couldnt get on our fields until end of april/ mid may, but at least pretty much everyone got a decent first and second cut. I cant remember it being so wet this late in the year. Glad you got your first cut done, even though it may not be the best quality silage you have done. To anwer your Question if the maize fits in the other clamp (28m long, 12m wide and 3/ 3.5m high, correct me if I'm wrong): to my calculations you have room for about 700 to 800 tons of fresh silage (at 32% drymatter) and the maize at 45 tons/ hectare would be 720 tons, so I think you should be fine.

[@stevenwhiting1424]

Nice to see more of Anna and how she’s progressing in her career, good job all round with everyone.

[@Nick-jp9im]

Love seeing you and your dad spending time together

[@savagememes873]

man that surgery your dad had must have ben wonderfull. he seems so much happier and energetic now after that.

[@amandadouthwaite1863]

Well done, Tom, you got there, and that's what matters. You and your team work so hard and so good together a lot of people just don't realise what is involved in farming. Your vidioes are bloody amazing mainly because you show all aspects good and the bad days. Always remember you are never alone. There is always someone going through the same as you, it's hard to think like that when you are in the moment but it's true. Your Dad Andrew is just amazing. All his knowledge is so valuable. I love seeing Anna she just cracks on and is so willing to get stuck in. It's brilliant to see young girls in the farm industry. Again, we'll Done all of you and take care 💜

[@emmamorianlarsson2188]

Great work tom save as mutch you can considering how crazy wet it got. We are only doing bals and first cut is done today and we got 1600 bales whitch is very good only 400 more and we will make it in the winter. Farmers in Sweden love you and all around you.

[@sandy7299]

Nearly in tears here watching tractors getting stuck, hope the rest of the year goes better...much better

[@Isuream6331]

Also, those drone shots are INSANE! The night ones especially gave me goose bumps!

[@jrdahl711]

Love the Greenday in todays video, really sets the mood for all the wet troubles.

[@williammunson6621]

Fair play Tom those nighttime drone shot are sweet 👌👌

[@ChrisPhipps-m2t]

Hi Tom I really enjoy your videos something different then to the way we farm here in Canada. I agree you should take it easy this year on the big projects spend this year completing all the little things that need to be done to make everyones life easier. I feel the biggest reason that your land is so wet is the fact the ground is so compacted and the water cannot drain thru it the fields need to be cultivated and loosened up to allow water thru.

[@alistairnelson3216]

That looked tough going and will take some putting right. That’s why a lot of the big maize gangs especially have pushing blocks on the back of trailers so as they start to bog down a tractor comes up behind and gives them a with a suitable weightblock on the front linkage because “your not stuck till you stop so don’t stop!”

[@stevenhorne5089]

Holy Cow! Even the trailer tires won't turn.

[@victoriafalkenthal444]

Every row, every soft spot I see coming I’m holding my breath!

[@matthewrodgers2360]

It's in now, sealed up and safe. There's not much more you can do now. You've done your best, and that's all anyone can ever do. Keep strong Tom.

[@harrie1976]

If it is very wet all you can do is extra wheels . More ground contact so pressure of the tractor is spread on bigger ground service. And pray your wagon doesn't get stuck.

[@terencewelch9800]

Hi Tom, I know this was weeks ago, but did you roll the field afterwards to get them ruts out of the fields?

[@BrianMartin-b6q]

Tom , my heart goes out to you and all farmers , it looked like you were ploughing up the fields with the tractors and trailers . Just looked absolutely horrific and makes you realise what farmers go through. Wouldn’t rely on your singing to make a secondary living 🤣 How do you repair all the tyre ruts in the fields ? I’m sure you will answer this in one of your future videos. Even in the length of the video you could see the struggle you were all going through ,but you got there 👍

[@ballyhoulihanagrivideos397]

Have had a similar experience a good few years ago. The resultant silage turned out much better the what we expected. A leveler such as the Samco should help repair the damaged ground when it dries a bit .In heavens name don't try a roller on it to compact it more.

[@MrDERees]

I appreciate its been tough going Tom, but the quality of the editing, cut always and music is fantastic

[@sam-P90]

Wow that was bad. Feel for all the other farmers in the same situation been a terrible year. Loved the tunes this week 🎶 Haha I'm sure we will all re visit this vid when you open the clamp to see if the mighty ginge will be right or wrong 😅

[@richardrushton7460]

Love the way Anna has time to have a full face of makeup up and a big smile on her face and time to bee happy happy while toms fretting 😂😂😂great job done by all

[@chris420x]

life might be hard, but ive always been told to crack on and get it done.... this is a perfect example. things might be tough but they will certainly get better. send much love to the ginger guy with the MOOSTASH😄. looking forward to the maize☺

[@paulogorman7478]

Here in south east ireland we are not as wet but not far off. I left 1/4 of an acre in a 4 acre field in a hay field. These conditions are sent to test us !!

[@sgibson5797]

Love your tee-shirt. I think those are the most spoken words of any farmer.

[@claasjaguar9607]

Wow that’s so wet - Fastrac to the rescue - certainly need Olly’s 724/936 today lol. When I was in Germany once and was watching maize harvesting in the wet both the Jaguar and a Fendt 939 got stuck!

[@Harry-zz8qn]

“Trusted you chopping grass and look what that turned into” Brilliant 😂😂

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

😂

[@Isuream6331]

Holy moly, that is WET!! How you stay so chipper is beyond me!

[@CPCarpentry2022]

blimey that's a mess buddy, just saw my first combine going today down Cambridge way crazy how wet it is still for you guys, feel for you just trying to do your job and the weather ruins it

[@robmoss3501]

You need to put some drainage in those fields Tom.😂😂

[@WhybreeFleming]

My heart was breaking for you as i watched this video, just imagining how it would feel to be in that situation. You did really well to get through it. Tomorrow is a new day !!

[@teeheee8956]

Anna when the drone was at her 😂😂😂

[@andrelorentsen5014]

I really feel sorry for you. I know the feeling😮‍💨. We had this 3 years ago, but the roundbaler saved us then. This year we had a sunny and very dry 1 cut here in Northern Norway. And that is not common a few miles from the artic circle🙂

[@ipanzerschrecku4732]

after seeing that mess I can only say thank you for farming and feeding our families

[@TheWhiteknights82]

Don't put yourself down mate people don't realise how hard farmers have it, it's all weather dependent. Would it be a good idea to roll this now that the ground is wet. To level it off your drone footage is coming on looks amazing keep the videos coming love them I'll be back soon for some more milk 😅😂🇬🇧💪🏻

[@gerardmcnamara9997]

Tom,Gerry here from South west irl,i prefer clamp to big bales too,im feeling ur pain as regards the bad weather and damage done to land,Keep the chin up sun will shine again.

[@jstanleygardening]

I came to the farm shop on Sunday had a lovely bacon sarny and when driving down seen the maze shoots 🌽 good to see you a lot happier now it’s all done

[@TheFozzy222]

Yes Tom what a top job cleaning the road, around here in the staffs moorlands they don't bother and riding a motorbike as I do its bloody dangerous.👍

[@0138thomas]

Farming is very typical a lot of ups and downs you got a smile on his face

[@0138thomas]

Farming is very hard that's what I meant to say he does a great job

[@irvenrathburn9421]

The clamp looks nice. That was a hard day in the field !

[@justahomemadekid1606]

I love how you we're insulting your dad, and he rou ded the corner. Immediately knew you were complaining about him and started throwing the hate right back... absolutely hilarious! Great video even though I didn't go the way you wanted. Keep it up, love watching!!

[@liamjackson3382]

We did exactly the same near carlisle, ploughed was an understatement. There is a quiet plot of re-seeding to be done up here

[@JohnWatkinsUK]

Excellent soundtrack Tom 👍

[@zftransmax1]

Jesus tom u better pray for dry frostie weather wen you are chopping that maze... if its wet you are in trouble to get it out if the grass ground is that bad...

[@PuFFerTV98368]

Thanks for the video Tom What a mess of muddy tire tracks BeWell and StaySafe ✌️

[@jamesmarsh4957]

we just have to do what we can to get food for the cows in and with now food for the cows there is no food for us , unless you have done the job you have no idea what we do to get food on the table , with this their now will be a cost to put the chewed up fields right to get the next cut , you take a chance with the weather most days on a farm and it can bit you in the butt if you get it wrong , you never have a guarantee of what you will get for the end product farming is a risk we take every day , well done Tom and Team you got it in , and good to see Luke at the end , we need more of Luke

[@chrisgandy9844]

Well you've certainly upped your music game somewhat! Love it.

[@kelly-annejenner486]

I was going to say I bet by now the maze has give a beautiful green haze to the field😊

[@pcplayerclarkey3026]

Ouch that was painful to watch! Hopefully this means next year first cut will go smoother and better 🤞

[@annebell7274]

Oh God, I felt bad seeing the wet patches in the fields but the music ....... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😃💛

[@tomdavies9738]

What sort of impact will the churned fields have on growth for 2nd / 3rd cuts and also the growth going forwards? Also, with the rows being down so long, what sort of impact will that have on the feed quality when it gets taken out? Love the videos & seeing how much time & effort goes into your work Tom!

[@rossdimond]

Great video tom.. some fantastic shots. Loved the greenday thrown in too 👌 the quality might surprise you yet looked a decent enough crop

[@ginaquincey5905]

Done! Hope the fields are recovering. You must have a cast iron stomach Tom, the state of your hands eating that roll🤣🤣

[@chrislee2221]

Perfectly normal diet in farming , less chance of being ill with a long built up immunity.

[@kurt4917]

I am amazed when I see you drive straight through the standing water. How will those fields recover?

[@JamesParrottBleuParrot]

I'm sorry about your chopping conditions. But you have great taste in music. I love the Wombats.

[@rachaelmorrow6669]

I wonder how you and your father will fix the fields. I'll be watching. Good job hanging in there. Good luck!

[@kandacek63]

With a wet field like that it wouldn’t have mattered if you had a lighter tractor. The minute that wagon was full it would have bogged down regardless. Dueleys might have helped, but here in the U.S. many farmers have gone to high track tractors vs duels. I think it’s a cue from what they do in Alaska to protect the tundra.

[@ippaku]

Hope everyone has a great week. Enjoy the chop video as normal. Sad about all the rain, but that happens and apparently you’re not the only one that it’s happening to based on the scuttlebutt from the farming community. Happy cows everybody be well be you

[@derschwarzbrennerausdember8746]

Well to get our grass off we had a spezial chopper with rubber tracks und we used trecked trailers and trackors usualy used for rice here in italy.

[@Tal88888]

Whilst I’d rather everything went well, for you all the time, my god the music it inspired for this video was stonking 😎

[@traceys9124]

Great video, sad about the fields. You all worked very hard. Also great music love Green Day.

[@Varrig]

The blue trailer is a menace! I can't recall if you have ever tried tracks on the farm. Take care and God bless!

[@goddam9925]

Brilliant vid !!

[@hooter7003]

Tom do they make pto hydrostatic assisted trailers ? It’s the trailers wheel that stop turning that causes get stuck Tractor 🚜 has plenty of power

[@user-lz8jx7vw3u]

My God that was hardship on man and machine but you got the jog done ✔️

[@matthewbiffen4918]

What are you going to do with the ruts that you made in the fields ???

[@justinmills8084]

Anna is a Crack up she is happy, bubbly and smiling all the time. She seems like a hard worker and good to get along with. 😅

[@markyoull6744]

great video i bet that silage is amazing when you open that clamp

[@jimr9762]

Land is wet but big tackle and inexperienced drivers aren't helping.

[@lindahollister5530]

WOW, you said it. What a mess😂😂😂😂. Love your music❤❤❤❤.

[@jorgehurford1742]

I like the ginger warrior's version of AUTOSTEER!!

[@ajb542]

Some mess Tom, wonder if a pan buster/subsoiler would help dry up some of those areas ?

[@hamiltonart7165]

Well Done Tom n Crew ....... Ye saved the grass, the field will be sorted , No worries. Jesus Loves Farmers ❤

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you

[@CHISEMAL]

So how do you get the fields back into shape? Roll? Or is there a need to reseed as they are that bad?

[@emmetsherry]

That trailer on the super singles should be left in the yard

[@justinmills8084]

You need to partner with Yankum Rope for the conetick ropes for pulling from ATV to tractors 🚜 and dozers.

[@thetessellater9163]

That wet corner needs a ditch down the side, just to help lower the ground water there. Lose spoil into the deep tracks and reseed anyway

[@michaelstaunton1632]

After the aftermath of such a tough chopping you will most definitely be due better luck fingers crossed 🤞

[@RichardSchumacher-m7s]

How are you going to be able to repair your fields, My impression is you'll have to use a blade to level out the ruts (trenches you made with your tractor, then you have to reseed the area. Do you have another solution?

[@jasondavies4887]

Loving the Green Day music
