    Clarkson's Farm is very good, but this is the real deal. This is walking the talk. Keeping the team motivated and well fed. Constant decisions are needed from who fixes a broken bolt to not getting to 13.5 on the protein. Sitting on the combine still being enjoyable leading from the front, sort of, the others seem to be cutting more hectares ! I would have thought at night you would have a bit more power, denser cooler air with more oxygen would give you more horses. Wonderful videos, I do hope this is seen by people who are detached from food production, real eye opener for them. Thank you again.

      ​@yonmusak yes for wheat definitely, normally after 1am its to damp to combine, if u don't want cost of drying.
      Baling too, also can troublesome if to hot in the day..

    Congrats on 10k subs and congrats to Sandy and his partner on the new arrival. 226 hectares and 2100 ton is an amazing achievement in one day. When I started work in 1974 for a MF dealer, you thought you had a good day if you combined about 30 acres and put 100 ton in the barn with a MF 625 combine. Good luck with the rest of the harvest and mind those poles!!!!

    No wonder you have so much respect from your team when you are prepared to get on the machines such as a combine, many could learn from this example.
    Harvest here in Wiltshire is about to get going into the Wheats yield and quality will remain to be seen fingers crossed and legs come to that!!!
    Hope harvest and the cultivations continues as you planned, stay safe.

  • @EnigmaFarmer
    @EnigmaFarmer Před měsícem

    I really impressed by how you James run this operation, as you say good teamwork makes great days, and the fact that you spend the day on the combine and then the back of 11 at night your there rounding up the video and answering viewers questions, truly a dedicated and exceptional leader and businessman, with a fantastic hard working team behind you. I have always believed, that if you show your employees that you are more than prepared to do the dirty work then staff will be so respectful and follow you 100%. and as a guy that used to run a couple of grain stores for Frontier Agriculture, there is nothing better when you see the fruits of your labour, and also when you put a new guy to do a dirty job, and they say to your other guys that I bet the boss has never done this, and they turn round and say the boss has done that job more time than you have had hot dinners. so good, Well done James keep up the fantastic work you do. Thank you for all the time you take to educate people on the important work of farmers.

    A little bromide in the packed lunches will help reduce staff absence, say in October/November to ensure full crew during harvest. You really can’t have your chaps running off to the maternity ward left, right and centre. It can be our little secret - no-one else will know, I promise😊. Seriously, fantastic effort to minimise fire destruction. There must be nothing more heart breaking and wallet shredding than watching your profit & more for the year going up in smoke. I subscribed very recently and I love your warts and all approach - it provides a fascinating insight. Oh, and huge congratulations to Mum & Dad on the arrival of their new daughter. I hope the harvest continues to be a good one and the forecast convective weather is kind to you. Stay safe above all.
