lovely place to clebrate those who we have lost on Sunday

Fantastic turn out and view at the memorial. Been foggy all day with us in West Yorkshire. We will remember them 🌹

I never took any notice of direct drilling because I’m a dairy farmer,I’ve learnt a huge amount by watching Olly.👍

No tillage is a mindset thing, a ploughed and cultivated field looks the part and looks like your giving your crop the best start but the unnecessary expense of time and money when you can get the same result by direct drilling it’s a no brainier 👍🏻

Cool views.. 'i got that guy to stand next to it for scale'.. LOL...

This is why I enjoy watching farming channels , I thought ploughing was the only way to plant crops now I know other methods can be used . Great channel olly

Here in Aus we went into a no-till system in 2006 as a way to reduce the risk of soil drift during the summer/autumn months. The 7" sweeps just left the ground too light and fluffy and acctually caused a hardpan compaction layer. Since the switch to a knife point presswheel system we have increased our water use efficiency and grown our biggest crops ever. The biggest issue we have now is farmers not rotating chemical groups and modes of action spraying. They're sticking with what they know or is cheap and now we're starting to see chemical resistance in problematic weeds making current chemical applications useless. This is an area of farming where more awareness and training needs to made as spraying is the most technical part of our cropping system today.

You need to get merch with “stand next to it for scale” on them 😂😂😂😂

Ever bought a used farm machine? Same thing but more money/ risk. Looks an easy fix and fun to drive.

Come across and educate Wardy,I could do with a good laugh 🤣🤣🤣

02:30 Wow, that's some beautiful landscape. Looks so quiet and peaceful and nice...

Thank you for sharing with us Olly ,what a view!!!!

What fantastic place to hold a remembrance service love to see you out with your girls

I’m not a farmer (although I am going back in to agri this year) I’m a part time gardener, Iv have much better weed control from my no dig properties than the ones I dig over. It’s much less work but it pays off in the long run. It’s also a big help if you can catch weeds before they go to head. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Wonderful memorial service and in an amazing location

Another great video. The ‘spikey’ plant was Mahonia japonica- sharp but when I flower smells lovely.

Over the years we have tried different ways to put grass seed in after maize without ploughing they all work but the best way we have found in order to take a early silage cut is shallow leg lifter in heavy wheeled areas then power harrow wag tail fert spinner flat roll weather dependent

Nice service olly great video we will remember them 👍👍👍

We call that low cloud rolling off the hills here in Wales 'Dragons breath'. Great vid again 👍

I totally agree with you I've had the autumn calvers out with the couple of days that have been dry they say it can't be done but a tenners wort of white twine sorted the problem our winter wheat is dying in the slob after ploughing that's why am will to bite the bullet n buy a drill for the spring n use it for grass stitching as well

I am in agreement with you Olly, I have seen a farm near me who use to plough and drill . This year they have direct drilled the whole farm, and I must say the crops look better this year than they did last year so I am impressed with the result so far.

Already tell this will be great you are amazing Olly and your work around the farm is brilliant.👍❤️

good video, we all enjoyed it a lot, and great views, and the helicopter

Here in Angus in Scotland we see way more direct drilling than we seen just a few years ago, the only negative I have seen is that a few farms around us are cutting down on the amount of workers they employ because of the lack work they do now, I know it's the way forward for nearly all farms but it's just a shame it can come at a cost to some farm workers not being needed anymore.

great vid. I'd like to hear more about how u changed ur system to direct drilling. keep up the good work ;)

what your saying about plowing is true, in most cases you don't need to plow at all you can plant your seeds and have a super crop if you do it right what city are you showing in yor video it looks great, that was a really grand video you did

After watching your vids for the last couple of years and seeing how you direct drill. I’ve started noticing the difference rain can have on plowed and drill fields in comparison. I was working in such a field last week and all around the field edges I was surprised with the amount of washed away soil

Hi Olly Nice one Thanks again

There is a lot of mixed information about direct drilling and I think that puts a lot of farmers off. You have people saying you get lower yields and people saying higher yields. People saying less soil erosion and people saying more. The only thing everyone agrees on is that it uses less diesel

Good vid Olly. Our 1400 acres of direct drilled winter wheat couldn’t look any better than it does this year.

BTW The Egyptian Hieroglyphs depict ploughing!! Ploughing is as old as agriculture Olly!

Great video as always

Negative could be that you always have to go with sprayer

What are the organic matter percentages in your soils?,some grassweeds ,brome grasses,the experts say ploughing is the most effective way,Andrew Ward did a video at Stow Longa with the different cultivation methods

Great video olly the wheat looks great jaysus there’s some soot on the back of the helicopter im95%today

I agree with what your saying however direct drilling Maize isn’t that popular due to the low yeilds

Fantastic views and credit to all for climbing up to the monument especially little legs Joe Seels be your bestie friend if you could get him a ride in the helicopter

great video olly

Great content

That's a Squirrel helicopter and you really do not want to buy one of them. If you do get one make sure it is one with AW in front of the model number. Great video and a great way to do Remembrance Sunday, we do similar down here at Ham Hill, it's a fantastic service.

Another good thing about not plowing is you could be doing other things like planting elsewhere, so you could get more crops

Good luck trying to grow a successful root crop on land like we have around here without ploughing, you end up with a field of misshaped virtually worthless rejects, as the crop whether it be carrots, parsnips, or whatever can't make their way through the hard ground, end up stunted & miss shaped & rejected. It may work for cereals, but it doesn't work for every crop & application & every land type. It's been tried & tested. Think of it this way, plant carrot seed in 50mm (2") of topsoil on top of concrete, what happens when the growing carrots hit the concrete?

We all have to listen and be prepared and open to try something new/different, just takes courage. (Small steps) Well said chap!!

There's a saying that the two best days owning an aircraft are the day you get it, and the day you get rid of it. Buying it is the easy bit. Keeping it going is the hard (and expensive!) part. Unless Rob is thinking of getting a aircraft engineer's license, I'd say stick with Bateman! Also, the David Brown restoration is great. If you were looking to put something together for Christmas etc, putting all the clips since the work on that tractor started together would make great viewing. Keep up the good work

Rob well sort it keep up the good work

Nice one Olly cracking view on the top and a few people there pay their respects even Chester stood for the 2-min silence

Great video Olly I watch a guy in Canada they direct drill all the time year after year but 🤷‍♂️ but like you said the erosion it terrible if you have bear soil but keep up with the great videos 👏👏👍👍

LOL , love how everything is "to scale" ! LOL

8:10 those branches with spikey leaves are from a Mahonia

Re ploughing : There's no such thing as bare soil in nature. Opinions are ok and freely given, but how you take them is your responsibility - or your problem. There is no 'should'.

What a lovelly way to remember the fallen 🥰

Ollie I think you do need a helicopter be great for you getting up and down the country Armistice day looked great after you climbed that hill fantastic sight a great tribute your wheat is doing alright. Feeling 94% today another great video Ollie

Back in 2015 i put up a post, im may only go. 8.8 mph but where I go I don’t need roads, Im disabled and have a 8mph mobility scooter, thought it was a fitting post, and 2015 was the future date

the view from your camera was just grand where is that monument located it is a grand structure

Nothing wrong with both methods of establishment. It’s not ploughing that’s causing climate change it’s all the planes and helicopters in the sky that’s the problem look at the carbon on the helicopter 😂. The extra spraying and re drilling bits makes me wonder about min till ,ok in dry years.

great place to hold remeberance sunday where are you i live in Banbury

Running on green diesel. Stand next to it for scale. 😂

Plough with copper or brass blades..

You can't direct drill potatoes Lily ????

i remember in the 1974 direct drilling was being done with a mf165 and a 30-mf dill so your note doing anything new and yes ploughing is good for some but note for others depends on the ground you are on so done knock ploughing just because you don't like it yours ken

Remember reading a magazine where a cereal farmer on 900 acres changed from plough to no till 15000 he saved in fuel and wearing metal

You buy one, I’ll fly it for you. Money pits though!

Nice views. Good video 👍. How are you feeling today. 90%. Is it easier to direct drill than plowing.

Ploughing helps to get rid of compaction and gets air into the seedbed.

100% today working on hobby tractor in the sun. I think that sometimes you can make statements that are too generalised which can get peoples back up, while I agree that within the general arable world there is great potential with min till and direct drilling and we are selves have tried direct drilled a reseed of a grass ley however I can’t see how ploughing or deep cultivation can be avoided for root vegetables and many horticultural crops such as brassicas can’t be transplanted into a previous crop residues plus such crops are very difficult to keep weed free without hoes which requires a cultivated seed bed so for the time being both systems still have there place. Great video from Saddleworth

Direct drilling/min till is fine for combinable crops but for land destined for sugarbeet or potatoes there is no substitute for the plough.

you do know that you will have to fix that gear box because the crown wheel and pinyon are a matched pare .

My old boss away ploughed until he seen the light

I always enjoy watching your videos. What would you like for Xmas? What's your opinion on ploughing with no gravel in the land?

I don't get this 'influencer' nonsense - if people can't make their own informed decisions taking in all relevent information, then they should give up...!! Lovely pic of Chester at the end, and I've just had a notification that he's just uploaded a new video - happy days!! 75% again today.

Is that just off the Greenfield Road that goes across to Holmfirth Olly?

Nice view.Don't go in that helicopter with the exhaust smoking like that!!!

Ay up olly. Was that cloud over the Top of old bets. Near Rochdale. Russ from hillam 👍

😎

Has some left the clothes peg on the choke in the chopper? Wouldn't catch me in it (dont like heights). Does the tail light only work when the chopper is upside down. Beautiful scenery and a very poignant occasion.

😎😎😎😎👍

👍

Love the rant but you forgot the rant hat

Just out of interest what wheat yields /tons per ha do you get, as we do min till, direct drill and a little bit of ploughing and get highest yields from the ploughed ground

Problem is mate some people don’t like change, especially let’s say older people which a lot farmers are! Direct drilling will be all any one does in the next 10-20 years it’s already so much more popular than it was!

I'd like to know how many hours Olly has spent filming wheat sprouts, He should switch to filming Charlotte more she's just the dream 😆

What's next in my model collection with my brother. We've bought 3 JCBs one Massey newholland two trailers. And I bought a Fiat 500 for my brother

Boom

Sell the Bateman, buy a helicopter and put spraybars on it. What ground compaction? 🤣

Walked past your car and helicopter today!

Did you ever have cattle on the farm or would you like a few in the future

I cant afford to plough but u got a brand new discovery and bought an xerion definetly cost over 50-100,000 🤨

Hi Olly Should have fetched the air ambulance to the patient at the memorial,, hope they're doing ok. Seen one of Bill & Joe's tractors doing some heavy cultivation on Hale Rd this afternoon, let's hope it stay dry for you to get the last of the seed in tomorrow. Cheers Olly 👍

That is " 67 years young" Olly 🤣 Can send you some pigs that plough up land for the fun of it ! 🐷🐖🐷🐖🐷🐖

What rotation would you use for best weed control in your crops?

Not a problem for most of you arable lads but trying to get seed in the ground with large amounts of straw fym is virtually impossible

That's wot' happens when you get super market fuel

Have to start walking round the farm instead of the buggy Olly save you panting so much 😂

Would that work with grass to direct drill in grassland or is it mainly for arable.

If nature didn’t have a plough did it have fertiliser?

306 xud 💨💨💨

Another great vlog Olly were was that were you was on moors take no notice of these snowflakes Olly I'm 30% today

Can you grow potatoes and carrots without ploughing?

Does that count as a Sunday rant?! 😂

Where is the memorial Olly ?
