Video Diary on the Farm No.82

[@michaellane9873]

It's good to see someone keeping their water courses flowing nicely well done.

[@JDautopower]

Thank you, if everyone did there bit inc. the EA. There would be less flooding of farm land and properties.

I LIKE DIGGER CLEARING THE WATERWAYS

[@gunton21]

Interesting update as always, "classic tractor" a great read!, loved the sugar beat harvester not many of those to the pound. 😂

[@JDautopower]

Yes glad I am not paying for it! 😂😂

[@paulbrown4850]

EA should be following your lead on clearing out waterways, as shown by you there’s no damage being done,just clearing out weed and any obstructions

[@JDautopower]

They should, but sadly they aren’t!

[@farmerfuller87]

Your beet looking cleaner than ours this week what a mess very challenging times. Still got pots to lift on our job.

[@JDautopower]

It’s certainly not a good year. Hope you get your potatoes lifted.

Some beet harvesting set up .3 of you hauling away?.lovely area where you farm.regards from ireland

[@JDautopower]

Thanks. There are a lot of big beet growers round our area.

[@bobcrawford2105]

Sugar beet harvesters are monster’s these days can go back to the single row Standen harvester Fordson Major on front and M F 135 along side with 4 ton Tye trailer running alongside Happy Days. And no cabs lol. Drainage a big issue time some arse’s were kicked at E A and compensation paid to farmers

[@JDautopower]

When I first started we had a single row harvester like many other people did, about an acre per day, now upto 4o or more in a day.

[@christopherbignell3342]

Good video 👍

[@JDautopower]

Thank you.

[@nickaf5262]

have you demo a johndeere 8rx if not you should

[@JDautopower]

No we haven’t tried one, maybe in the future.

[@robtall7696]

Never understand why people run in the same wheelings all the time. Makes massive ruts that some poor bugga has got to sort out

[@JDautopower]

To be honest there were ruts across 2/3’s of the headland, once you got into some you couldn’t get out! The other 1/3 was not run on to allow the harvester to set into the rows accurately. I get what you mean though.

[@georgedoorley5628]

ruts ..............ya aint seen nothing ............. come over here to really se a mud bath.......... but we got to keep going as we need the beet to feed the cattle...........

[@petesampson5775]

Thought Tutty lifted your beet ?

[@JDautopower]

He used to do, but where I am we don’t grow beet.

[@GRS1903]

The EA, what could you say yes good for pollution management, but useless rules ,legislation for clearing ditches burns,etc that’s why areas get badly flooded in my opinion, should leave that management for the farmers they know how the ground works
