Farming Youtubers

Grassmen are a clothing company that make a few videos.

The discussion is about channels getting products and discounts. I don't think anyone has an issue with that. The issue is whether the channel discloses that they got a discount or some form of remuneration in return for reviewing the product. From memory this topic was already discussed before. Some channels do say "this video is sponsored by..." and some don't say that. I think people are entitled to ask if the reviews are sponsored.

Phil and Tom P have diversified away from their channels and obviously are successful, for other channels who's sole income is from views and merch, I don't struggle to see how they will create additional income and even content.

fun fact. tv programmes and films don’t have to declare product placement or advertising within them

Sorry Phil, that's not true. Watch the start of some TV shows and look for PP to appear on the corner of the screen, this stands for product placement. I must look for it next time I watch Top Gear but I think its there.

"Broadcasters must adhere the BAI’s code when using placements in programmes; while it’s too early to judge any standard or compliance, the BAI is clear in its guidelines according to McLoughlin; “Essentially there are a couple of requirements; first, before any programme with paid product placement or free product placement there must be an on-screen message that tells audiences the following programme contains paid or free product placement; there then has to be a ‘PP’ logo at the beginning of the programme and at the end of ad breaks returning to programmes, and also the providers of any product placement paid or otherwise must be identified in the end credits.”

Yes that’s intentional. One of the worst years for calves in a few years. I intend on covering it in a video over the next few weeks

i had thought that might be the case. Sorry to hear that. What do you think was the cause?. Must be hard from a bio security point of view when you are collecting from a few different farms.

Sean O Falluin Regenerative Farming Ireland also worth a look. Outwintering and grazing cattle Greg Judy style on a smaller scale on the trying land of county Cavan. Interesting take on how grazing of wet challenging land can be done all year round if management is on point.

Would lack of or insufficient colostrum be a factor?

For anyone doing electric fencing check out Kiwi Farmer ( NZ beef and sheep ) as good an explanation on knots and straining / joining as I've seen, also what he calls a taranaki gate ( clever and simple )
