Farming Youtubers

yes, fair play to them. After years of watching someone working but never seeming to do anything for themselves its nice to see people getting a break.

yeah there doing good stuff I must say the videos might be a bit long but I watch them anyway. Very interesting videos the last 6months I thought. Wonder how the content will go when the construction will be finished. He could prob do some land reclamation the uncles farm needs abit of work

had a look at a bit of latest video to see new shed… they should buy a bale shear for front loader and use it to split them roundbales of straw… have one here for silage bales.. also use it to split straw makes it easier to pick it up and spread it out when bedding… obviously the right job would be a teagle blower or one of those spread-a-bale implements…

don't see her posing to much to be fair, she seems like she's trying hard at the farming in fairness to her

Ive a neighbour like that. Feeds every 2nd or 3rd day. Straight after feeding, out with the wheelbarrow brush shovel and fork to clean up.

To be fair to them they are keeping everything clean and tidy, farmyards, machinery etc.

I look at the likes of Tom Pemberton in comparison.

When he started youtube , he had a rough dirty farmyard. A lot of improvements done since, a lot of money spent but still the farmyard is still rough and mucky. All the good machinery left out in the weather. Stuff abandoned everywhere, still using gates that are bent and falking apart. Taking shortcuts across fields in the middle of winter and destroying fields.

Some lads just seem to be good at keeping things tidy.

the biggest thing I would change about the calf shed is I’d take 1ft off the walk way and give it to the calf pens and have the stations for the automatic feeder in the pen. The way it is with the stations out on the walk way has left it very narrow at the station and makes the rest of the walk way pointless

What would you need to do to feed stations that you would need to go on your knees. Have JFC here with a few years. Stations are in the pens with the front level with front gates. Don't see any problems and the walkway is all clear to store supplies. Can take pallets in and out with loading shovel.

Mine is a JFC as well. This year I've had to replace the pipe in the rotating pump in each of the 3 stations and I've had a problem in one of the stations where the float in the little insulated cylinder, the one with the little lagging jacket, gets stuck in the full position and the tank has to be emptied and cleaned out. I've had a pipe come off that goes to the test on one as well. Each time the place is soaked in milk as it's pissing out along with dung and hungry calves are on top of you so mine are moving out.

All the pipes, pumps, floats are in the front of the JFC stations. Why would you need to go into the pen to repair. Our calf shed has a straw bedded area in the back of the pens, seperated from a wet area in the front with a bedding retaining board and a fixed barrier and a gate and a drain chanel at the front. The wet area is washed out a few times a week with a volume washer. No excuse for having muck in a calf shed

That was good in fairness. Some of them podcasts are good. Sometimes cammy goes off on a ramble for ages thou. I dont watch his YouTube channel.

15 odd years back home, they basically just mortgaged the place to the hilt and took out a big loan for the current spending spree, dosent seem to be any end to the spending, it ramping up lately if anything

It seems unusual that they didn't do some of this work ten years ago when quotas went and cow numbers went up. What have they been doing for the last 15 years!
