    Hello. Tom I am a Norwegian farmer who will be traveling to the UK with my family from August 9 to August 14 and I was wondering if it would have been possible to get a small tour of your farm on August 12? I have been watching your channel for a long time and am a big fan. Dealing with milk, cheese and meat at home in Norway.

  • @shawnh8754
    @shawnh8754 Před měsícem +1

    Maize/corn is a WARM season grass. Planting it as someone did in early July, the ground will be nice and warm and the seeds will shoot out of the ground. Whereas, in your case, the ground is cold, they just sit there and wait until the warmth comes. And some will rot during the wait. I would venture a guess that the late planting will catch up easily to yours if not exceed it. Best wishes.

    @marypaddey4625 Před měsícem +1

    Tom if the first cut was such poor quality and other farmers are struggling with the wet too, any maize crop will help to supplement the feed in the winter. Silage will be in short supply so It was the right decision to go for maize even if it's not a big crop. Don't beat yourself up!

    • @andrewjones-productions
      @andrewjones-productions Před měsícem +1

      You are right. It isn't much better here in Japan either. We've had too much heat and sun at a time when it should have been wet in some areas and far, far too much rain in other areas. Since Tom, by his own admission, is learning, it is a good year to learn though. A kind of crash course into maize growing and any normal year after this will be far, far easier because of it.

  • @nielsleenknegt5839
    @nielsleenknegt5839 Před měsícem +1

    9:10 Tom, although i have no farming experience, i do know this: Corn can grow VERY fast. Our garden at home overlooks a cropfield where in the past it was growing corn every 2 out of 3 years. When we would go away for 7 days on holiday somewhere, we would leave with the corn being about 3 feet tall, when we came back, the corn was nearly double that. Given good conditions, you could probably timelapse 3 days of corn and visualy see them grow.

    "Knee high" is an old Midwestern American saying. Their plants bake in the sun, so I doubt you could keep up with them in the UK. Also, with the new hybrid seed, it's more like knee high by June 10-15th.

    Honestly tom i wouldnt worry yet. Were growing 1400 acres weve got some fields on sandy land that are 5-6ft but then some of the other heavy land fields are 1-2ft 🤷‍♂️ maize hates compaction so anh old wet spots or heavy traffic areas really want subsoiling to allow the maize to get through the plough pan so somrthing to think next year? We also run a pre and post emergant spray along with a topical herbicide later on jf we need it. Youll get there its a bad year for everyone so your not alone

    I drove around Alentejo Norte this weekend and I saw lots of maize fields with tall maize, like at least 150 height. But they have these giant gps irrigation things (which surely have a name but I don't know them - not in Dutch, not in English and not in Portugese). Some how this is a weird year. Our figs have lots of figs but very small and have of them are burned. From the Netherlands I am used to the contractors putting in the maize after the 1st of May and it being harvested at the end of September. Don't know when they do it in Portugal. But I also see lots of fields with maize where the maize is used to harvest the cobs. Still not sure if the cobs are used as animal feed or if people use the kernels for making meal.
