Farm update 320 Palladium & BPR Summit, a thank you, loading straw & wheat, oil leak on Manitou

[@garyhalkon8749]

Glad you're feeling better and good to see you up and about again Andrew. Planning on starting to watch the BPR Summit this evening. I hope whoever has and is advising the government has watched the BPR Summit to educate themselves on the hard hitting impacts from the budget. Gutting to see the hydraulics leaking with such a job that needs to be cleared up, glad your neighbours let you borrow their Manitou. Just shows you the strength of the wind has to blow over massive stacks of bales.

[@andykeeble1]

Great to see you up and feeling a little better. You still look tired so need to take it easy. Thank you for another great update.

[@rpjwhite]

Glad you are feeling better Wardy.

[@bobcrawford2105]

Quick recovery Andrew your dedication along with the other members of the team is second to none in the fight with this government’s treatment of farmers and small businesses

[@robertirving5293]

Glad you are feeling lot better now .

[@graham-bunn]

Good you are feeling better Andrew. You have been giving the industry 110% so look after yourself please.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thanks Graham, I think we’re all ready for a battery re charge.

[@matthewhodder3029]

So glad that you are well on the mend. There are some wicked bugs about. Thank goodness you are fit enough to get over it.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

😊👍

[@kristiandevoy]

Glad to see you are doing better and feeling well enough to be able to get out and about

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thank you, I’m about 80%,

[@EdwardMoore-so6zp]

Glad you are feeling better. Thank you very much for what you are doing for all us farmers.

[@nigelshaw3743]

Good to see you are well Andy 😅

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

[@peterwilson-qj2ds]

Good to see you are looking better Andrew, great update Andrew as always . Haven't watched Olly's video yet but will be watching it at weekend .

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thanks Peter. 👍😊

[@ianmckay1780]

Andrew, glad to see a happier picture than on Monday. Watched Olly's video, shortly after it came out, but highly recommend people watch all of it! Saw that you were unwell during the discussion, and glad to see you got away, without having to be ill on stage! Thanks to Olly for posting the whole 2hr 35mis of the meeting it was very informative and I learnt more about BPR and other things during the video that, I have to say. made me rather furious at the whole system we have at the moment. The fact that Starmer seems to be forcing MP's who should be representing us, to follow the party line or suffer the consequences! The sooner we can get him out, the better! Anyway thanks for getting this video out, and sorry to hear others are coming down with the same bug. Hope you all recover soon, and remember, we need people like you to keep the whole campaign going to a satisfactory solution! Thanks again.

[@davidcollingwood1262]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Andrew. I’ve also been bed ridden for last 2 days.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

I’ve passed it on to a few at the palladium I think.

[@philipedwards8492]

Good to see You back in good health again and thank you for another interesting video. Olly,s video is good to, I,ll try and spread that around, some of it was quite emotional and thought provoking.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

👍😊

[@johnhyde8892]

Hi Andrew a great video update, I am so pleased you are feeling much better. The BPR summit Was put together very well, let's keep the pressure on!!

[@ianfaulkner4398]

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thanks Ian. 😊👍

[@JasonSmith-d5e]

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Cheers Jason, I was not good!

[@Charliebill572]

Great update Andrew and glad you’re feeling better now 👍

Glad you are better Andrew, not pleasant feeling like that in London a long way from home, I speak from experience. Well done on the conference, really appreciate all of the teams work, thank you

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thank you.

[@ChunkyIRC]

[@philipgraham6980]

Glad you made a swift recovery.

[@EddieRedX5]

Good to see your. Feeling better Andrew there’s quite a few people had this bug that’s going round Don’t knock yourself up Andrew it’s great that your doing all this for British Agriculture But all the times you’ve been up and down to London is very tiring Your all doing a sterling job I think you r getting through to them just keep piling on the pressure they’ll give in the end

[@adrianlayen4119]

Evening Andrew, glad you are feeling better. Great update, good to see the wheat going out. Hope you get the Manitou sorted, the one you borrowed looked a nice clean machine for its age. Looking forward to Sundays update.

[@pamorr9081]

Stay strong Andrew, well done on a hard year, enjoy the holidays. Nollaig shona duit

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thank you, I’m ready for a break over Christmas!

[@juliancope1925]

Always look forward to your videos Andrew 👍 I learn a lot as I’m not a farmer

[@stevewareing8525]

So glad to see you are better Andrew, you had a lot of people worried. Hope you are back to 100% ASAP because you are desperately needed in continuing the seemingly unwinnable fight against the unbeatable foe of a "Dictatorship" (Government) who simply refuse to listen to its public. 🤔. The grass on the cereals field next to the bale stack looks amazing almost like a bowling green. 👌.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thanks Steve, we’ll keep going. Broadcasting the grass gives a much better coverage than drilling in rows.

[@ryanevans3260]

Sorry to hear you fell so ill when you were in London, glad to hear you are feeling better now.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thanks, I wasn’t good at all.

[@tealjacks9125]

[@RICHIE87622]

I can just see you at the london palladium playing widow twankey! Glad your feeling better, not nice when your out and about and you just want to be at home! Just talking to the owner of a small hire business that he started from zero 30 yrs ago, basically he will have to sell up theres no way his son could afford the business!! Bloody bonkers!! Thanks Andrew 👍👍

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

There’s lots like that, it’s not good.

[@petergarthwaite6805]

We are glad you are feeling better

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

So am I, thank you!

[@jonstephens682]

Cracking update Andrew. There is a lot of bugs going around down here as well with people having sickness bugs so looks like you had the same mate.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

I think it was.

[@jonstephens682]

@ we’ve had staff ill with it and it’s not nice mate. Glad to see you all better now 👍

[@WILLIEQUAID]

Very unfortunate Andrew glad to see you are better👍

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

[@Shaunalexander.99]

That's big ergot in the wheat bin Andrew !

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

😂😂 it’s leaves!

[@tomfall7310]

Very good mid week waffle Andrew- another thing that needs highlighting is the £536 million that has been sent for foreign agriculture!

[@trackstyres1754]

I'm glad your feeling better, you have been spending to much time in dirty London, after your rally me and my mate was ruff as hell and I don't think it had anything to do with the pubs 😂😂

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

I used to frequent those sorts of clubs as well!😂😂

[@grahamglasper4463]

Glad your feeling better old boy ! Strange thing is I also was violently sick mid week to !

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

So you gave it to me? Twat!😂

[@grahamglasper4463]

@ 😂😂😂 man up ! 😂😂😂

[@Gearoid35]

Mind the health, great update

[@AdrianCalcagnile]

Good job you are on the mend the farmers need you to keep fighting as to ignore this madness with this government they’ have no thoughts whatsoever the small farmers are equally important they have a place in the countryside some do the work for the very love of countryside them in that government couldn’t even do a decent days work in the ie life stock farming them are hard working farmers who do this and produce some excellent meat for the consumer they need to be made aware of this!

[@mikerenshaw7867]

Glad you're better Wardy :)

[@456Brian]

glad your better all the best to you and your family

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thank you.

[@JRMillican]

Sorry to hear you were taken ill in London,hope you get well soon.You are doing too much on behalf of the rest of us...john

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thanks John

[@brettski663]

We have the exact same bins as you in our old shed I hate cleaning them out

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

They’re real back breakers!

[@JRMillican]

Made a comment to Ollie that you should form the Waffle party as you all talk more sense than the politicians

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

😂😂

[@michaellane9873]

I hope you are feeling better Andrew.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thank you, I’m alot better than I was!

[@grahamkelland]

What a nuisance for you getting ill whilst on an important trip. It's good to see your getting fitter in the video. Nice to know what went wrong with the handler,must of been more than a blown hose unless it's a real difficult one to get to. I'm more concerned at the moment about Arla and their pushing of Bovea,the cooperatives relationship with the public customers and the creation of a two tier pricing between intensive and grazing based herds,when there's no need use it on our cows!

[@markyoull6744]

ghreat you feeling better go steady mate

[@timgalley4391]

Good to hear you're feeling better and that it was a Simba coloured bug. I remember about 25 years ago working overtime on the local oil refinery one night and being as sick as a dog, workmate had to take me home, bed for a week and lost over a stone drinking boiled water only.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

🤦‍♂️

[@GeoffreyMoore-i9k]

Evening Andrew, great to see you back up blogging again, take it steady for a while to get back to full fitness Saw you straw delivery arriving at Charlotte Ashley's on her video the other night This APR and BPR debacle, must be one of the longest running headline stories, most news stories lose exposure after a couple of days, just shows you the strength of feeling, for this to keep running I just can't believe, the number of MP's who are so obviously deaf and blind to the uproar they've created, no wonder they all need chauffeurs lol How long could you store the barley and maintain the quality, is there a potential to hold back until the market improves First time I came across grain passport was on Jemma Warren's youtube, didn't realise the volume of paperwork required, even the previous 2 loads carried on the hauliers trailer has to be documented, and cleaning record for trailer Hydrolic oil leak was the last straw lol Thanks Andrew for persevering and keeping up with your mid week waffle under the circumstances Take great care all Back UK farmer's 🇬🇧 Geoff

[@andyhutch8262]

The agricultural engineers i worked for were Simplex dealers, we erected sealed towers and Simplex corn driers of different designs, one was called an air sweep floor, no shovelling, all the serations pointed to an opening above a conveyer that took the corn to a bucket elevator, it was good to see it all going in one direction when nearly empty, They were a ball ache to fit the serated sheets pointing to the correct way, this was in the early 70's

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

I have heard of those.

[@henryge_5707]

Lovely Manitou

[@WillHughes-gz2zl]

You’re still looking a bit peaky but good to hear you’re feeling better

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thank you, better a bit more today,

[@graham-bunn]

Shovelling those bins !!! I did it for 30 years. Funny when the time came the tractor guys all had emergency oil changes to do. Weedy beet pulling strangely had the same effect.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

😂😂

[@JWBFarming]

Pleased you didn't pepper us on stage Wardy and that you're feeling better! 🤣👍

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Only I will know how close you were to that happening!! I wasn’t good at all.

[@robdavis5711]

Crikey, glad you’re feeling better. Sounds like an awful bug or virus. Hope the Manitou gets fixed quickly too. Now that the grain has gone from the Heath are you decommissioning those sheds? I thought you were trying to get rid of the elevators and drying kit next to the sugar beet pad?

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

We were going to the drier and take the bins out but because finances are tight it’ll have to wait.

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

Most feed mills, maltings, stores etc have banned those type of trailer doors if you’re tipping into an intake for safety reasons but they’re ok for tipping into sheds.

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great update andrew glad you feeling better, who's is the massey? Straw looks nice still. Lovely xmas tree.

[@johnwarwick4105]

Not many farmers get to say they “ played the London palladium” well done

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

I nearly could have said I “sprayed the palladium”!! 😂🤦‍♂️

[@nwhitten7306]

You need some sheep for that new grass!

[@julianhawker7672]

Did you find out where the oil is coming from ?

[@robhall9599]

Glad you’re feeling better. I remember hearing about a winter vomiting virus or was it because labour politicians mentioned too many times ?

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

😂😂

[@davidhopper878]

Glad to see your on the mend

[@HHBRAD]

My JCB hasn’t got an oil leak😁

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

It will one day!!!

[@tomgreene1843]

Just a small point ....how do you control rodents ?

[@nigelshaw3743]

Did they find you a better seat 😂

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

😂😂😂

[@robertsmith9810]

wont let me correct NANITOU spelling

[@robhall9599]

Have you infected the manitou now ? It seems to have vomited up on your concrete 🤦‍♂️
