Farming Youtubers

We have a euro star (I think) it’s light green colour😂 plan is to cut 1st week of may weather permitting, again end of June and again 1st-2nd week of September to tie in with wholecropped spring wheat, which we should get sown week after next.

hefiers have been on silage ground since the beginning of feb. Will have them off and sluried the week after next all going to plan. Also going to run the grass Harrow across the middle of the big field to see if it makes any difference and might throw a bag of grass seed in some of it to see if that makes much of a difference. Also think we’re going to use some spray on fertiliser on some of it and bag on the other to see if there’s a difference

Great job, you’re off to a good start so.

For wuffling ideally you want the top of the row to be dry otherwise there’s no point moving it, I’d say if the weather is right and you get mowing done after dinner then probably the next morning when the dew is dried off would be the time for wuffling. Get it baled then that evening.

Get the mower man to leave it in as wide a row as the wuffler is able for when mowing. The more ground you’re covering with grass the quicker it will wilt. We do find with light crops (approx 6 bales or less per acre), if you fold down the spreading plate on the mower so the 10 foot mower is leaving nearly a 9 foot row of grass, then there’s no need for tedding. Rake it 24 hours later and leave it in the rows for a few hours and it’s perfect.

The longer it’s left on the ground the poorer your quality will be. You’ll be losing protein and dmd from the minute it’s cut so the quicker you can get it wilted and baled the higher your quality will be.

Take care on red clover pits, have heard of few splitting

Need to be getting 2nd cut of mid June if taking first cut the start of March, you'll have a very stemmy poor quality 2nd cut otherwise, re the video on the rape would you not just mow enough of it every second day and bale it up and feed out in the shed instead of messing around with fences, just take the belts of the conditioner on the mower it will cut it no bother done it before here

The lad from cavan in sheep school is a good operator and a good presenter. Good content for us sheep farmers

I would add to that to cut from midday to 3 to get the sugar levels in the grass at it's highest.

Hauling 90% water. An expensive way to water cattle.

He has two options, bring cows to feed, or being feed to cows. Simple as that.

The extra few years make it harder to catch a sheep in a field! I nearly always run them in now unless she’s well sick or lame and easy catch. I find it nearly takes the same amount of time when all is said and done!

you had a few great videos up of your time in New Zealand. It must have been some experience. Was very enjoyable watch. Id say you are very fit after it!

I guess they're basing revenue on the number of subscribers, Tom Pemberton over 500k, Farmer Phil and Adrian in the 80K Region. I thought saskdutch kid would have been on the list but just checked there and only at 180K.

That stupid approach drives view (sadly).

His target audience isn't farmers to be fair, he's carved out a market towards the general public and is making a right few pound out of it....

I reckon the YouTube side of the farm and media commitment is basically his full-time job now and hired in staff are doing the majority of the donkey work day to day on farm
