When you are a long way physically from this industry it is hard to believe the scale of the operation. You are doing a great job creating these videos - your presentation style is miles better than the BBC.
I agree with you, With Andrew its 100%,no bs, no dramatic background music, he's a top bloke
Could,nt agree more !
Thanks Charles. 😊👍
When I worked in pest control I got to see all this during visits to Spalding factory, closed many years ago sadly. Fascinating process, which few people see. The time between campaigns is also very interesting as everything is completely stripped down and repaired/serviced. Breakdowns during a campaign is a no-no!
That was a great video Andrew, a lot more going on in these places than first meets the eye! I look forward to the next one!
Brilliant Andrew, what a treat to see all that operation going on in there👍👍👍
Brilliant Andrew , good insight on it all happens . Keep up the good work 👍
Absolutely fantastic video Andrew.
Thanks for that Andrew, I've allways wanted to look around that factory, Looking forward to part two👍
What a fantastic video great to see how this factory works keep up the great work 👍👍
Very interesting video Andrew. Much more to the process than I imagined. Look forward to part two next week. Thank you.
Happy new year, brilliant video, nice to see this as we don't grow sugar beet down in Kent, looking forward to the next part👍👍
Flippin brilliant so much enjoyed that thank you very much for posting.
Interesting video Andrew, I see the factory most days and good to see a bit of the goings on inside 👍
Great video, I have been around a couple of sugar beet factories, it is always interesting, it a fascinating process to see the beet turned into sugar. Cant wait for episode 2.
Fascinating Andrew, must be one of a very few products with no waste, even the dirt and soil is used.
Looking forward to the next instalment of Wardys waffle. 👍👏
I wonder what they do with the stones that they get off the beet.
Watch part 2, I’ll ask the question.
Thanks Andrew brilliant video I look forward to part 2 next week the sugar beet process.
Super interesting vid Andrew & be looking forward to next part.
🤙🤙👍👍
Excellent job I've never seen the workings of a beet facility and thanks to you all for this
Great video as usual. I used to deliver beet to the King's Lynn factory with a tractor and trailer and you had to drive up a narrow twisting ramp and tip the beet off the edge - or go through the wash off where it was blasted off with salt water from the river. Looking forward to part two.
Fantastic Video Andrew!!😊
Quite a set up, perfected over a long time I suspect. Especially liked the sampling process. Waiting for the next thrilling part 2! Sugar out of those funny looking things!!
Brilliant, thankyou, cant wait for the next instalment. 👍👍
Excellent Andrew looking forward to part 2 🏴👍
Wonderful experience, seeing all the Sugar beet being washed and cleaned. Huge set-up and noisy. Looking forward to next week's episode
Very interesting vid thank you. I've passed this factory many many times and always wondered how it works. Looking forward to the next installment.
Another great video ..amazing process from the ground to the factory and our tables ..very informative..should be shown to schools ..
Great video thankyou, I remember going to the beet factory in Kidderminster many years ago found it very interesting and came away with a bag of "british sugar " 👍
Brilliant video Andrew. Very interesting keep up the great work 👍
It is fascinating to see how the factory processes the beet , can’t wait till next week, thank you for making your videos, they are so informative & interesting
Cheers Jamie.
Thanks Andrew for the education. Very good
Brilliant to see the sampling I didn’t realise it had the bucket turning so only so many could drop in fantastic to see never got chance to go round York factory but this is great. Thankyou
Great video Andrew, thank you for posting, I remember going to the Factory with my Farther, with a Nuffield Tractor & four wheel trailer. The trailer was a non tipper so the whole load had to be washed out. This would have been a lifetime ago Early 1960s!
Absolutely brilliant video so fascinating
Well that was for me a very interesting video was very good watching haw thay do bits there and explaining of what was going on
Thank you for doing a video of it
Interesting, always nice to see the processing stage of what you produce. I can believe how they tonnes they handle, amazing 👍
What a great video, very interesting, looking forward to part 2, the company i worked for before they where taken over by another aggregate company used to supply all the limestone for all the sugerbeet plants, they had thousands of tones of material a year,
I think it's all very interesting, and the design of the equipment and process is very clever.
Morning Andrew,very intresting video,never seen the inside of the beat factory before,beat leaving the yard is the last i see of it so looking forward to part 2👍
Thanks Nige, pleased you found it useful.
Looking forward to the next video Andrew.
Excellent video Andrew 👍👍👍
Reminds me of a trip to Bardney beet factory with Harmston YFC many moons ago...great video thanks.
Very interesting; much appreciated. Thanks Andrew. P.
Very interesting good to see what happens to all those loads I’ve put in there over the years 🚛👍
Very interesting. Looking forward to part 2 👍
Cracking video Andrew, reminds me off when we used to haul in Kidderminster the only difference is we used to tip into a big hole in the yard. Keep up the good work mate.
Great video, very interesting for non beet growers to watch, my kids found it very interesting and can't wait to see 2 and 3
Thank you for showing your children.
Hi Andrew, another great video. Reminds me of a tour of the old Carlow sugar factory as an ag student in Ireland back in 1990. Sadly Ireland’s sugar industry is gone since 2006
What a fantastic video Andrew been in there lot's off time taking lime stone into Sugar factory from Derbyshire tip there then reload the lorry with nuts for Newtown in wales .
Gosh, that takes me back to 1980, a college visit to Allscot sugar beet factory in shropshire!
I will never forget the smell of sugar in the air!!
Very interesting Mr Ward, your videos keep getting better, looking forward to part two next week.
Thanks John. 😊👍
Brilliant Video, so interesting, the scale of it all is amazing. I hope some of the general public see this and start to appreciate where their food comes and best of all it,s BRITISH !!
Very very interesting. Thank you!
Liked that, I used to live near the factory in Muskham, can always remember going past there when we went shopping in newark with mum and dad. Long time ago, I live in Germany now. Greetings from an Englishman in Germany 🇩🇪
Fantastick video as allways looking forward to pt 2 very interesting with been a beet grower
Good stuff Andrew thanks 👍
Very impressive place Andrew. 👏
We occasionally cart some topsoil out of Newark, fabulous stuff 4 any garden or growers .
Great video Andrew very interesting
Thanks for showing this video
Very interesting
remember visiting Newark factory years ago as part of Alnwick YFC on an exchange weekend. Interesting to see how the factory has progressed.
I miss working with Sugar beet in our County, We have not seen the beet grown here in Worcestershire since the late 1990s, No more Kidderminster or Telford Factorys"s here and just cannot understand why it was stopped as Worcestershire has the Outstanding soil for growing the Beet, Great happy Sugar beet Growing days drilling" growing/ Row crop work" and Harvesting many acres here and working with many different STANDEN machines/equipment, Thank you for the tour around Newark, , 👍 GREEN FOR GO👍
Thank you Andrew for a insight into how the beet is delivered and the sampling area, I only live about 6 miles from Bury st Edmunds factory and have often wandered how it was dealt with. I use to work for a beet contractor back in the late 80s and would have loved to been able to have seen the process but we never had time. I can't wait till next week's video.
I pass the Bury sugar factory on the way to the Suffolk coast and like you have wondered what goes on there and how a dirty old beet turns into tiny white grains of sugar
Excellent informative video. I live not far from Bury factory and always wondered how it operated. Looking forward to part 2.
Thank you. 😊👍
Great video Wardy, very interesting and informative. Regards Simon
Hello Simon, a bit of learning while in Portugal! Hope you’re ok.
Great video, look forward to the 2nd part.
Thank you. 😊👍
You are doing a great job creating these videos. keep it up 100% recommend viewing...
Thanks Jim.
C'est impressionnant de voir toutes ces étapes de la chaîne 👁️😊💚💚
Excellent video very interesting 👍
I found that very interesting good job
Fantastic video Andrew. I would have loved to have a look around the beet factory (Allscott) a few miles from where I live but is now a housing estate.
Very good interesting video wardy looking forward to the 2nd one
It was posted a few weeks ago, enjoy! 👍😊
@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard new to the channel 🙃
😊👍
Good to see how it is all processed real farming I loved the smell living near York when I was a child brings back memories shame the factory shut how many was there in the UK and how many is there know 👍🚜
Really interesting video.
Good morning Andrew! I live not very far away from Wissington beet factory, I’ve been lucky enough to have worked in a factory at Cantley Norfolk. Looking forward to seeing next week’s episode. Fenland Rob
Wissington is huge!
Wissington is huge!
Wissington is huge!
Excellent video 👌
very interesting video
Very much enjoyed
I've loaded from sugar factory in Belgium 🇧🇪 with the colour syrup for going in to colour cement loaded in Belgium 🇧🇪 tipped in or nr Manchester called mollases .. very interesting 👌
Brilliant choice of lorry driver andrew 😆
🤣🤣🤣😊👌
Very interesting! I am an American sugar beet farmer in west central Minnesota and this is so much different than our factory
Thanks for watching and your comment.
Great video.
very intresting ivce been in there dozens of times but only collecting feed
Good video......nice to see our signs getting plenty of coverage. They could do with a clean though 😬
I thought that! A spray with TFR, a brush and rinse with water will bring them up like new. I’ll do it if you like! 👍
Great video and the sugar factor. Watching u from the west off Ireland. We had a good sugar beet business ere in Ireland. And the government sold the growers out now importing sugar in .
A few people have said that.
Is no sugar beet grown in Ireland anymore?
Or is it still grown then sent to another country for processing?
That's so interesting Andrew! Thanks to you and all involved for allowing you to film and explain the process.
Very good thank
Great video. Would be great to see the loading shovel pushing the beet into the gully
I missed that!
Very interesting. I am a retired sugar beet farmer from western Nebraska in the United States. When we dig the beets, they are delivered directly to the factory or to a pile ground that the factory operates.
That’s the difference, the factory only have any involvement once it’s been delivered.
Hi I worked in Irish sugar for 24 years till the government closed it down I was a loader driver in the pulp plant were we bagged loose pulp and pulp nuts best years of my life met some great men .
Andrew this is fascinating. Thank you for taking your time to produce such an interesting film. Question: It sounds like beet processing is seasonal to align with cropping. What happens at the plant out of season?
It does but I think they carry on producing animal food and they have a lot of maintenance and upgrades to do before the next season which can take 3 or 4 months. I’ll ask BS and have the answer at the start of part 2.
Look forward to the chemistry they use to free the sugar from the fiber and get in an editable form and then take the undesirables away.
Farmer Phil is the best in the World and he grows Sugar Beet take a look 👀.
I have done! Our soils are so different to his, we could never do what he does to his fields and beet crop. Look at my update 102, that shows the conditions and how we need to crack on when conditions are ok.
I've past many factory 🏭 in Europe 🇪🇺 mainly france 🇫🇷
Hi Andrew, we're farmers from Shropshire growing wheat, barley, osr and fodder beet plus beef cattle and sheep and we really enjoy watching you. We just wanted to know how badly has the frost affected your suger beet on your lighter ground as we've got 40 acres of fodder beet left in the ground which was affected by the frost badly on our light ground aswell.
I’m not sure yet, we’ll be lifting some of it in a week or two so you’ll see.
Thanks for sharing, Andrew - Nice to see a sustainable all-British process.
Re sampling, I can see a possible explanation for your unexpected 11% high. 3 possible root causes (excuse pun). 1: you only need 1 beet -sized clay clods in the random sample to swing it 2: a clay clod would not bounce out of the sample bucket like your large beet so more likely to end up in the sample 3: you lifted when top few inches of soil were partially frozen so likely to get more clods?
I think the odds were stacked against you !
Richard C, ex farm manager, chartered engineer
About spot on!!
Try and find out what there electric bill is from last year to current, looks like it will be huge. Good video thanks .
Good video 👍. When is part 2.
Next Sunday.
Sugar Beet is an EU protected crop. Brexit has allowed cheaper cane sugar to be imported in to the uk. When the uk sugar beet mills have been demolished and the fields have been repurposed just watch the cost of imported cane sugar go through the roof
Have tipped coal into Newark and loaded beat pellets and limex (which is rank) back out
🤣
Very interesting thankyou for sharing just one question though on the sample of sugar beat, could they not do 2 buckets spinning around incase sample A failed weight and bucket B could been used instead, from what I saw it looked like it was set up for 2 buckets, so why not use it as a backup, do you know why?
I’ll add that to my list of questions I need to ask BS and give the answer at the start of part 2 but I suspect it’s to do with time.
Brilliant, any jobs going.?
Fantastic videos and informative can I ask why don't you use a root bucket on your telescopic
A lot of people ask me that, all I say is what is the benefit? You can’t move lose soil under the cleaner and you can’t scrape the Conrete clean with a root bucket.
Dear sir can you tell me as I am interested to get soil off the beat is their such a thing as a wash plant as I used in the quarry to get the gravel clean
@@davidwills8640 no there isn’t. If you look at the amount of water used in the factory to wash the beet, it’s not possible on the farm.
Thanks for your efforts in letting me know
