  • October is when we drill the wheat that we'll harvest in 2022. In this video I explain how the way we do it has changed dramatically over the past 20 years, which has led to a 75% saving in the amount of diesel we consume and led to a healthier soil.

    Harry is another one of those guys that you wish, was one of your teachers in school. I have learnt more about percentages and fractions than I ever did before. I know I did it in school but it went in one ear and out the other.
    Listening about the way farming is changing, especially arable crops and how the basics for our food is manufactured is fantastic. Must of us take for granted that there is a loaf of bread on the table or oil to cook with, I think if we understood the process from start to finish, including how the land is treated with respect as Harry is showing us, we would have a greater appreciation and probably as a result a lot less food waste.

    Just returned from a week in Tuscany 14th October. Took my drone with me and filmed the Tuscan countryside. Most of the farmers fields have been ploughed and the clods are 12 to 15 inches in length. The land looks so dry it’s hard to believe the farmer will get more than a winter crop to harvest. Also of note is how steep the land is that has been ploughed.
    How on earth can these poor farmers compete?
    Finally, we travelled many hundreds of miles during this holiday (flew in to Rome) and with the exception of a pet donkey we didn’t see a single animal grazing the land. Arrived back at Manchester airport yesterday and travelled back home to Cumbria. Livestock everywhere. So green and we realised how lucky we are to live in this wonderful country.

      Thanks. The subsidy Italian farmers get per hectare from the government is extraordinary. An Italian olive grove is the best pension you can get in Italy! The other factor is many Italian farmers are well past pensionable age, don't like change and don't have an extravagant lifestyle, which all helps to keep Tuscany beautiful but not really sustainable without big government handouts.

      Why would there be shortages? A shortage increases the price which makes growing it more profitable. More it happens the more incentive there is to grow wheat again.

    Tractor drivers today. They don’t know what it was like in the 50s and 60s. No cab and when eventually cabs were fitted, we had noise in our ears and it was years before the Q cabs came along. Of course, we still had to steer the tractor, accurately, across the ground. Eventually the manufacturers lifted the cab above the tractor chassis, which got rid of the noise. But they could still very hot in the summer, so along came air conditioning. Something else to go wrong!. And now tractors and combines steer themselves, but they probably cost a whole lot more.

    I noticed that when you were rolling the field on your screen was already painted green, possibly from when it was straw raked. If you want to get rid of this on one of the run screens either add and press or if it's already there press a tab called 'operational instance' and selec

    I would love to see a proper discussion on farming and food supply, is it really cheaper to buy food from around the world, fly or ship it to the UK, per item cheap, Co2 cost high, do you want Co2 down or cheaper food, why not subsidise farmers like the EU did, except not leaving land set aside or fallow, but to grown cereals or crops, the EU have been paying for non production, because we had gluts of food, Butter Mountains, Wine, everyone wanted to jump onto the best subsidised method.
    We used to have dairies, sometimes 2 or 3 around a small village, a local milk person, a slaughterhouse, meat processor, new rules meant many just quit, but was that good when moving goods back and forth to larger plants where produce was processed and back again after, every time adding to the Co2 cost and price per unit, all the while the farmers margins got small as middlemen raised prices, we paid the higher price.
    I recently went back where I grew up, 4 dairies gone, 4 farms gone, 2 replaced by a much larger farming set up, with bigger machines, hedgerows grubbed out to make fields bigger, 2 farms are now housing estates, the orchard where we went scrumping gone and houses, the cattle yard and barns gone and second homes built no one in the village could afford the prices they went for.
    Things change but people still need food, none of the milk is produced local anymore, only 2 farms are still producing anything, not a single field with cattle, no seems to talk about producing food local and keeping the Co2 footprint down, jobs for locals so they dont need to travel into town, China is not the answer, buying food and shipping it around the world using tonnes of fuel and still selling it cheap than local produce is not the answer, we need to talk, do you want cheap food or less Co2.

    Great video Harry Would welcome an overview on type of crop rotation you use on the farm; would you graze kale or other cover crop in a fallow year to get more organic matter into the Cotswold brash? Must be close to getting the overview on this years harvest financials.
    Please keep these great videos up so informative for us non-farmers but lots of us are interested in where our food comes from & what a struggle it is for farmers financially.

    It would be good to see how much the fuel costs today for the 9ltrs per hectare against the days of ploughing and cultivating,maybe the difference in the cost of fuel would make it look better +the labour cost was less..i worked on a farm years ago and it was not unusual to have 6 Ford 5000 tractors working in the same field but no farm would stand that cost today….great video as always Thanks

    Top tip. Never let the tyres down in the field by removing the valve. Sod’s law dictates that it will slip from your grasp and disappear, leaving you with a flat tyre😞😫

    Thanks Harry. No history of farming here in Sweeney Towers. Found your channel after following Harry’s Garage. Really interesting!!!
    If you want an idea for the off season, what about explaining how a combine harvester works? Your easy style would really make is perfect for non-techs. I enjoy both of your channels. Thanks!

    Could be interesting to see a series of "Harry's Farm Abroad" - where you visit farms in other countries and hear about different ways of farming - just an idea :)

    Well done, Harry...I farmed 5 acres in the Benwick area of Hunts in the early/mid 1970's..The plow was king..the disk was queen..It cost a lot to get anything done on a 5 acre tater patch..Today, tech has helped out considerbally..then we have The Elete telling us how to farm and what to use and how much to pay for our nitrogen..Does not anyone really enjoy some food from time to time..and be able to pay for it all the same..I have no idea what is the program these days, but me thinks it is not all about feeding the people well..

    We used to just stuff the seat belt clip in as usual THEN get behind the wheel! NOT recommended for Everyday Road Use.....or3-Point Harness!
    Harrys Farm is so good I was moved to put an OO Scale Model Farm together for the "Toy Railway".
    First thing folk mention when they see it. They love it.(And so do I. Well done Harry.Thanks.A lot!)

    Nice to see your soil structure improved. Too bad it's probably unfeasible to stop with fungicides, because fungi could improve it further.

    Lieber Harry, wie immer sehr gute Informationen im Ackerbau in UK und auch für Nichtfarmer verständlich. Sie haben eine sehr ansprechende und freundliche Art Fachwissen verständlich zu erklären, besonders die Finanzen. Ich bin sehr gerne auf ihrem Kanal. Fredo Eilts aus Norddeutschland.
