    I watch a lot of farming channels on CZcams but yours is the one I look forward to seeing most every Saturday/Sunday. I’m not from a farming background but I think your a breath of fresh air when it comes to farming compared to the other channels. The way you go into detail and explain things really well especially for the people who aren’t farmers, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work mate you should be proud 👍

    Great tidy job by all of you’s including the contractor.
    We got a contractor in last week for the first time ever for family reasons and with all the fancy kit and the so called experience, they ruined the fields. Harvester man was doing doughnuts in the fields, over filling the trailers and expecting the drivers to pull the loads back up the hill. Ripped two 16ft gates off their posts 😭 and the boss man on the shovel left the pit in such a bad shape we had to call in a neighbours 13t digger.
    Had enough problems before this calamity. It was so bad the neighbours were in shock and one neighbour has drone footage which would make you cry watching it.
