Farming Youtubers

Kerrydude1981

Hey everyone,

Main ones are

Farmer Phil

George Saunders

The Funky Farmer

Tom Pemberton Farm Life

Gerry6420

So what Farming Youtubers do you watch?

Great job. Looks new. I wonder how much it would cost to do that in terms of materials/parts.

He might not get another 20 years out if it though with the oul' splashplate. For slurry anyway. Would you get a retrofit on that?

Farmer Phil has a serious dedication to the whole thing but it looks like he almost has to. By the sounds of things he's getting very little out of the farm and the contracting is about the only thing bringing in any sort of cash. Calf mortality seems to be a big issue as they're so busy with slurry and mixing so many calves. They look like people that are racing around at 1000mph to get everything done and progress seems slow - i.e. it seems impossible for them to make any investment. I know beef is bad atm but maybe management isn't the greatest. They put up something recently about the bulls being only about (450kg/500kg). He also mentioned that even though they could more than justify having his girlfriend work on the farm they wouldn't be able to eat (i.e. she's the only person bringing in regular cash) From what I can make out Phil's main income is YouTube and that's why it has to work. Anybody looking to come home farming after school should take a good look at Phil's 13/14 hour days and realize that they should try something else fr a couple of years anyway! Last year during the winter himself anf the girlfriend booked their annual holiday in Centre Parks over Xmas and Phil had to go home for 5/6 hours each day to feed cattle etc. That to me sounds like hardship! Fantastic hard workers that maybe didn't think out how to justify having him at home!

The key words I take from your post that I agree with are dedication, poor return on investment and busy.

I’m going to sound harsh here but there is an element of busy fools. One of his videos has him driving 2 hrs to spread slurry for a customer. Their plant is old and worn so inevitably trouble strikes probably ruling out a few weeks profit for them to get back up and running. They need to take a look at their operation and remove the rose tinted Massey glasses and run their farm like a business not a hobby. What are they trying to achieve, contracting is really tough and being the jack of all trades contractor(silage, maize, tillage harvesting, sowing, slurry) who is trying to balance their own farm and at the same time be on call for every and any kind of agri job has long passed. Their geographic area doesn’t look to help either with small fields and not ideal weather. This is in Phils interests to ensure that in turn there is a farm capable of making a living to be passed onto him. Saying that fair play to him and his father for bearing all in these videos, decent honest hard working lads.

Anyways from what I can gather Phils father and uncle are involved together. 3 regular good wages (plus uncles family) from a farm is a big overhead before bringing your casual staff into it.

CowfarmerDan I find good, do a lot of their own work With the added attraction of vintage Massey gear. Find anything over 8- 10 mins is too long but a lot of them do it

He's growing nicely. I don't know him but I recognize a lot of those roads and fields. Shock to the system watching farmers on youtube that sound like yourself.:D

Subscribed to Gerry6420 last week and have been enjoying the content. He has a drone up and going filming overhead for some bits which is very cool.

Been watching 10th Generation Dairyman for a good while too. Nice change of perspective for me with him working a very intensive system in comparison to what I'm used to.

Gave him a subscribe there and will check him. Yeah their attitude is we'll give it our best shot if it doesn't work out then so be it or we'll find another solution down the road.

Others saying about Farm Flix, I quite enjoy it but probably wouldn't go buying a subscription, just don't have the justification with so much content for free on YouTube TikTok etc. Have no bother understanding them since went to school with a few of them haha

Have the subscription. Some of the videos are way better than anything Grassmen has ever produced. You can get a free 24hr trial with them. Hard to really judge them this year because of virus. Any idea why John and Donkey split?

Supposed to be back in the day john wanted the grassmen to be done like farmflix is with all aspects of farming where donkey wanted to keep it silage only. Grassmen has changed since mind you

I think he has annoyed few manufacturers also by nearly demanding thier latest machines to showcase on the channel or to get them for a few months

The video of them wrecking the jf harvester and sniggering away to themselves said it all really, I wouldn't give that lad the lend of a shovel and I'd say alot of machine manufactures are coming around to that thinking too

Very different to the quality of channels nowadays and definitely no talking to the camera but a (very small) claim to fame of mine is that I was the first around to put up silage videos on youtube, in 2006!

The still picture looks like your about to introduce that mower to an ESB pole!

I haven't read through the whole forum yet but just wondering are these farming youtubers suitable for children??
We have a tractor/ farming mad 5 year old and he watches farming simulator on YouTube but i know he'd love some real-life videos.
