Back From America, and the Software to Run Our Whole Farm (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back on home soil after the trip to America, it is straight back to reality, jet lag and all, and the focus now is the drilling campaign. In this episode we explain why getting the timing of drilling right is arguably even more important than harvest itself, and sit down to plan the logistics of keeping four drills running. We also take a proper look at Cropwise, the new software we are using to pull all of the farm's scattered data, from satellite imagery and weather stations to yield maps goin
What American Farming Does Differently, Our Trip to the Farm Progress Show With Fendt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we take you across the Atlantic. Fendt kindly flew James and Tom out to Boone, Iowa, for the Farm Progress Show, one of the biggest farm shows in America, and the launch of their new machinery. In this episode we get a proper look at how farming is done on the other side of the pond, and it is a real eye opener. We climb aboard the latest Fendt with its new cab and a 60km/h top speed, and get up close to the cutting edge autonomy on show, including a driverless grain cart that follows
The Real Cost of the Drought, and a Bank Holiday to Forget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a quiet bank holiday, we take the chance to sit down and be honest about the numbers. In this episode James walks through the harvest field by field, laying out exactly what the drought has cost us, from milling wheat well down on budget to disappointing oats and mustard, and just how far the market now needs to move for the industry to make money. It is a frank and rarely seen look at the real finances behind a difficult year, and the thinking behind next season's rotation. It would not be a
The Rain Finally Comes, a Game Changer for Cultivations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At long last, the rain has come. In this episode a sudden 34mm downpour transforms everything, closing up the cracks and turning the brutally hard ground into near perfect cultivating conditions almost overnight, lifting output by a third and, as Glenn puts it, proving a complete game changer. The timing could hardly be better, with the oilseed rape drilled and now set to come racing out of the ground. With cultivations back in full swing, the focus turns to the new farms we have taken on. We ex
The Oilseed Rape Is Drilled Just in Time for the Rain, and the Logistics of Going Bigger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After a long, dry wait, this is a big milestone. All of the oilseed rape is now drilled, and in near textbook conditions, with the first proper rain in weeks finally forecast to arrive right on cue. In this episode we get the last of it in the ground, and look at the logistics challenge that comes with going bigger, because keeping two 18 metre drills fed means moving as much as 80 tonnes of seed a day. It has not all been smooth. We work through a relentless run of breakdowns as the brutally ha
