- Birds Eye come to drill all our peas in one session, sterile strips are sprayed off round every field, the rape gets its flowering spray and timber leaves the farm.

I am amazed how big your farm is. You seem to have huge acerage of everything. Great to have a insight.
Interesting update once again. 👌
Thank you.
Great Content again 👍
Thank you 😊
Hi Simon love the videos always very knowledgeable and tht Nathan fela really educated me on the pea job 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
Everyone smiling now the sunshine is here I thought we soon need be building a big boat with how much rain we have had.
We still might need it for next year 😂
Another excellent Saturday morning video. It was very interesting to see how the peas are sown and how the drills work. The next time we have Birds Eye peas we will wonder if they have been grown on your farm.
The ground has changed a lot over the past few months, from waterlogged to dry and now dusty.
Thank you. Yes you they could be our peas lol. Yes the ground soon alters.
Really interesting drill set up!
Fascinating...
Great video, pea drill looks a fair set up. I saw one near market weighton on thursday in a field.
Thanks, yes a good set up for planting them accurately.
good video as allways
Thanks 😊
After pea planting do you roll ground so stones etc aren’t sticking up for pea harvesting?
Birds Eye don’t like you rolling it afterwards, although we do if the is a lot of stone or cloddy seedbeds. It makes the pre em spray work better as well.
Look forward to seeing your video every week. How many acres on the estate or how many acres are ye farming.
About 3000acres grass and arable, we crop about 2400 acres. There is also a lot of commercial woodland, not sure on the acreage.
Good video 👍
Thanks 😊
How does rtk work when you are spread over a large area as the pea drilling contractors are. Does the signal travel a long way?
Basically the tractor dealers have there own base station receivers and with the use of the mobile phone network which is nationwide to triangulate the signal to provide a RTK network. These make it travel a long way. Hope this answers your question.
The tractors have a SIM card in them.
Yes it does thanks. Always find your videos very informative.
How many tons of peas do you get to the acre
It obviously depends on the season, and where abouts in the drilling program you are, but let’s say 2t/acre, could be more or less. These peas are vined when they are tender for Birds Eye, so that reduces yield also, ie, they could grow on and put a higher yield on, but would be like bullets!
hi do you have a vacancy for corn carting and such this harvest thanks
All sorted at the moment thanks.
if a vacancy did arise I've had 15 years experience working on an arable farm in the scunthorpe area also I've just been made redundant in my present job m
Will bear you in mind.
