G,day, Henry here! Lock Valley Farms is a channel dedicated to the day to day life of a farming family in the Mid North of South Australia. The channel documents the challenges and triumphs of farming in this beautiful part of the world as well as hoping to educate anyone, that might be interested, on why we do what we do as farmers. We hope to offer a unique perspective into the operation of a mixed livestock and cereal cropping operation in the wonderful land down under.

I hear your autumn break is on the way for Thursday? Do you need all your cereal in by then? Or better to sow after rain?
5-10mm on the forecast. Not a break, but desperately need all of that.
@@lockvalleyfarms981 well here’s hoping you get a decent drop to kick things off 🤞🤞
............G'day, Cheers and God bless, Malcolm
Rain is coming soon. Have you had a chance to put your canola in yet?
No, I haven't put it in yet because it is going in on vetch stubbles that had sheep on them last year, so the dirt is hard and cloddy. I also don't want a false germination if we only end up with a few mm. I probably should but I'm a bit nervous.
@@lockvalleyfarms981 👍🏻hope you get rain on Thursday, Friday.
hope you get some decent rains this week Henry 👍
What fittings did you use to get the tap on the enviro?
Great one again.
Hi from France, i'm an Australian who lives and works in France. My brother lives in Snowtown,i've been following you for a while..To cut short,i ended-up working for a bit for the Vennings in Bute,drove their quad dog for a month during harvest,i really enjoyed it,the windmill farm brought back the memory.I really do enjoy your chanel.
Great video as always mate hopefully we get some rain soon as it's dry up here in Renmark too mate
Another awesome vid Henry, hopefully get some rain this week 🤞🤞🤞 Nice to see the chaos monkey spending some time with you too 😂
Hope your daughter is feeling better soon
Good luck seeding your 2024 crops Henry
Great helper u have Henry
Nice to see your family in your video Henry
Great work Henry. Over in port Lincoln we haven’t even started seeding we are still waiting for the rain to wetten the soil. Best of luck with seeding
Love how you make time for the family mate. I manage a large cropping farm and it’s something I didn’t use to do but now I take every chance I get to spend time with the family
Thanks for sharing 😂Paul
Really enjoy your episodes. It must be really fulfilling, as a father, to have your daughter enjoy riding along with dad. She’s so adorable.
Your kiddos are really growing fast and the oldest is very inquisitive.
Hi Henery love the videos. Do you have any wind towers on your farm.
No, we don't. The closest one is about 50m away.
What climate do yoy have here
Mediterranean climate. Hot dry summers and cool wet winters.
when I saw your family moment with your childeren in the tractor. I imidialty thought on the russian pilot who let his childeren fly the plane And they crashed
Mate you have the patience of a saint with the hydraulic cylinder run around you have been enduring. Great videos. Cheers
@LockValleyFarms What that white ute tray belong too.?
I think I recognise Zach Johnson’s voice. Love your videos.
Correct. He was the first farm youtuber I started watching.
Some great drone shots there at the start Henry. Good to see everything is coming together now. Let’s hope they’ve sent you the right cylinder this time. Good luck with it all.
You sure do make a great video mate.
Nice to see your family in the tractor with you Henry
Good luck seeding your 2024 crops Henry
Awesome drone footage Henry
Great video Henry
GPS signal issues will be due to sunspot activity. I can see a faint aurora in the back ground in a couple of shots (16:50).
it wasnt GPS it was Coms to the seeder....as if it unplugged itself
Pretty sure thats twilight after the sun has gone down not an Aurora
..............................See Ya
When calibrating your seeder, you can put a couple 20L drums under the yellow tub to hold it closer to where the seed comes out. Therefore you don't need a second person to hold the tub up. We farm at Laura, and we have a simplicity box as well.
That's what I do when the old boy isn't around. He insists on getting dirty, hahaha
Comms issues could be due to the recent solar activity🤷♂️
I guess you will need to roll the paddock if you are cutting hay ?
Thanks Henry. Hopefully rain soon.
Enjoyed ✔️ the drone shots were great.
12:00 you can always get a bigger tractor 😂
Always amazing what a quick burn can do for the paddocks. Hope the dry seeding goes well and that the rain comes soon enough, I absolutely love the smell of freshly tilled damp soil and am really missing that this year. Hopefully your weather prediction for next week works out, I heard that a decent rain isn’t expected until mid-June, I hope it isn’t that long away!!
Henry can you tell me if you have the grain hopper behind bar I thought that would compact the tram lines , I thought less compact if bin was in behind tractor in front of bar whis better
Henry, you just did the equivalent of 3 days work for a lot of people. Crazy. I don’t miss days like that.
I guess I have never seen drone footage of lime spreading. It’s sure easy to tell from the air what you’ve done and haven’t done! Your drone footage is fantastic, consistently spectacular.
Rain water is the best Paul 👌
Another great video thanks Henry. Hope you get rain soon mate to make it all worthwhile.
I too enjoyed the accurate coverage of the lime from the drone. You cant beat the GPS.
your editing is amaziing! What does the lime do again?
Corrects soil PH. We're attacking any acid areas of the paddock.
that innoculant didn't need to be made into a slurry Henry?
Great work Henry hopefully they finally send the right cinder 🤞🤞
The drone shot when living is really well done.
Mate I know how it frustrates service supply companies . I email 4 electricians 8 days ago ,none of them bothered to reply or turn up to install my electric oven , humbug ,so now I am the ruddy sparky . Wish me luck !
awesome editing skills, music well thought out as well.
