  • Thanks to Mayo Farm Systems for sponsoring this week's episode. We head to Leicestershire to see how their cattle handling systems have helped a dairy farmer get much improved output.
    Check out their full range at www.mayofarmsy...
    Much of which is FETF Grant Qualified.
    Also in this episode, Olly catches up with ‪@TomPembertonFarmLife‬ to discuss the difficult trading conditions in farming currently.
    And Angela joins a tour of E Smith & Sons Plant Nursery. Here we see that to maintain efficiency, the businesses is highly automated.

    Thanks for the E Smith and Son content. A real insight into a commercial nursery operation for a back yard grower like me.

    Very interesting video thanks to Stephen Tom &Olly and not forgetting Angela I really like those bendy cubicles I think there definitely a winner ,It was good seeing Pete Marquis at his classic Tractor Sale I hope Pete is feeling better he hasn’t been very well recently His sale went very well what a fantastic sale it was it was a credit to him some of the tractors made very good money. I was very impressed with what Angela showed us in that plant nursery it was incredible watching that machine plant all those seeds that beats planting them by hand feeling 90% today and what a great video to all concerned

    Excellent strong looking cubicles and no weak rubber pieces used to hold them together 💪👍

    a good water drainage could solve part of the problem , but then the state would have to help but that costs money

    0.3mm since Christmas , South Australia , too dry

    Can't do anything to stop rain (yet) but drainage and most importantly dredging can mitigate a lot of the problems - except the EA refuse to help, Henry Ward is a hostage to EA policy.

      My farmer neighbour spends more time and money on his spoilt kids than his pitiful livestock this awful winter . Hard to feel sorry for him.
