  • The unpredictable British summer weather keeps us from harvesting, so we shift our focus to other essential tasks around the farm. From working in the workshop to get our older machines in top condition to discussing the promising oil seed rape market, there's never a dull moment on the farm.
    We are also lucky enough to get a call from Cousin Michael as he completes a stock take on the chemicals all with Chris and Brook start work on James' new 96 meter Toy Shed for all the farm machinery!

    What a fantastic company PX Farms is, I had no idea of the scale of the operation, and the boss man’s enthusiasm is next level. If I lived that way I’d be knocking on your door for a lorry driving position. I love how every aspect of the farm is so tidy I’m certainly impressed.

    well done James to still manage a smile even with all the worries of such a large business, I have my fingers crossed for you and all farmers to get some good weather for harvest, the last thing we need is a late one to put the autumn work back.

    What a cracking utube channel reminds me vividly of all the highs and lows of running a large estate. I’m quite sure you’re not a political man but if you and Harry Metcalfe sorted out this countries agriculture the country would be in a great position.😊

    What a great channel. We are about 5 weeks behind you on the harvest down here in Sussex. How many acres do you farm? You have a great set up and what a work force. Well done Sir. Great to see that your subscribers are good up.

  • @andrewmaccall5871
    @andrewmaccall5871 Před 16 dny

    In farming the weather just effects everything and has a knock on effect as you say. And the bigger the operation the greater the effect. Great to see your on today via twitter.

  • @peterwilson-qj2ds
    @peterwilson-qj2ds Před 18 dny +1

    Another great update James, it is so frustrating when you can't make a start do to the weather. Would like to say how well you care about your workforce, if a lot of people did the same they would find they return would be far more rewarding. Carry on with the updates .

    Absolutely transfixed on this channel. Do you guys tend to have drone operators within the combine cabin for better visibility?

    Rural crime , no community is immune , police forces are stretched and personally feel that the closure of many village and small town stations have created many opportunities for these mobile hungry eyed country thieves. Hope the weather improves and hope yield and quality dont suffer .good luck team P.X

    I will be interested to hear your thoughts on what the new Government may do to help farming? I see in one of the early "announcements" that there was more emphasis on food security.

    Showed your video to my partner who knows about these things & she’s identified Matilda as a potential dancer! Perhaps Matilda might be persuaded to drive a tractor now & again though 😂

    Anytime I watch stuff from the UK theft appears to be a major issue, is it a national pastime?
    The Eneabba lad would get mega excited about 30mm of rain, that's an absolute downpour here in WA.

    Quick question, and this is specifically for OSR, why do you spray it off before harvest but you don’t spray any other crop off?

    • @PX_Farms
      @PX_Farms  Před 18 dny +3

      We only tend to forward sell 40-50% of our expected crop to make sure we can fulfil the agreement

    Hey guys, yip govt and weather. PX for prime minister.
    Interesting with the break ins, cut locks etc, mindless vandalism, our New diesel thieves have started leaving all the caps off which is a worry with rain over night. We have an indigenous group who just steal and do no good.
