Farming Youtubers

Actually went and watched a few of the videos with Ian in them after I heard he had passed.

He was a natural story teller, a skill only a few have, I could listen to him all day.

For all you sheep dog lovers .....

Thank you. Yeah I’ve a good bit of beefing to do. Planning on using some flat strips to join the bottom to the uprights front and back along with putting in some corner braces

I'm also following, interesting videos and a positive attitude. Best of luck to him with the contract rearing and the channel.

She is……but life is too short for the forking of silage she to be at. A small loader on the tractor would be life changing on that operation (wouldn’t use it for carrying bales as such)

AFAIK she has a good job as well, it's a great comfort for her dad that she stepped in and took over .

She's a lovely lass that any parent would be proud of.

62 years ago....

Saying that. Tom Hanks had the same phone fighting U Boats on his destroyer 18 years previously.

They were suited up. Bar the head, eyes, ears and lungs. Most likely a gps for the helicopter in the field.🤨

I think she's addressed that before that she knows the job could be done alot easier but doing it that way is good exercise for her and saves on the gym membership. It's why she does it that way

Not too many gym users have reached 70 yet...

Fair play to her, she has a great work ethic and the circumstances that lead her to taking over the running of it must have been very difficult.

But given that its a family farm for probably decades I am amazed at how little infrastructure there is. In one video she's spreading dung by hand with a fork out of a transport box. I thought that practice would have been gone in the 1970s, or 80s worst case.

I don't know about you but I inherited a farm from the ring feeder generation who felt cattle needed a good run of a place to thrive. I can relate to karen Moynihan, O'Sullivans farm and I Do Agri starting out taking over making decisions and trying to improve their farm. I remember hanging a gate or putting in a water trough making such a improvement around the place. First milestones of having a concrete floor in a bedded shed, putting in my first slatted tank upgrading the tractor etc. All these changes came with hard work and time. But unfortunately any further improvements will cost at least 50k or more. So fair play to all the youtubers putting their lives on the screen and allowing us to follow them. If they can get an extra income from Youtube fair play to them and I hope they will help develop their farms and achieve all their goals. I have one more bit of building to do and I will have the yard the way I want but at current prices I will have to wait a bit longer.
