I'd be like a kid a Christmas if I could have a play with half that kit!

 

[Pilatus]

Being serious I cant seem to find out how many acres/ha’s the family are farming, but going by the amount of kit they have it must be 30,000,acres +.
I will email my retired ag consultant friend in Saskatoon and ask if he knows of the family.
Me seems to think all that kit is not financed solely from farming, but I may be proved wrong.

 

[Farmer_Joe]

think its 40k acres, hes annoying to listen to but its interesting and he gives fairly un biased views on kit

I think they Farm 45000 acres in an area 100 miles north south and 70 miles east west, might be the other way round He does explain in one of his videos. I like the one when they have finished seeding and have a 5 hr road trip back home.

Don't know if he mentions the acreage in here but it tells you a bit about them..

Had a guy working here for a bit that is good friends with mike.

as said they are farming around the 40-45000 acres. There are other bigger operations nearby.

they are always on the lookout for more land and grow each year.

I've a friend in Saskatchewan working for Monette farms. They have 167000 acres in Canada, Montanna, and Arizona too.

The unit he is on is 90000acres about an hours drive from Mike Mitchells place.
The scale is just beyond my comprehension.

Interesting to see on the Monette Farms website that the production manager originates from
Ireland and got his Bsc at Harper Adams. Just shows there are farming careers beyond our overpopulated shores.

Mike was doing a video in his biggest field 5000ac

plenty of opportunities outside of the uk. I’m from Northern Ireland. Did my Bsc at Harper Adams and css as me to Australia.

I’ve worked on 40000 ac cereal farms here and managed a potato farm for 10 years which was part of an operation growing between 6-7000 acres potatoes. While managing there I started a cereal cropping program leasing land from who I worked for.

since leaving there in 2016 I’ve grown the farming side of business and gotten into more contracting with seeding and spreading but mainly focussing on spraying. We have just gone into hay contracting mowing, raking and high density square baling.

bit long winded but just wanted to show there are opportunities out there for the taking.

I know, could probably fit my farm in the margins!

I like this recent video by Mike,

, especially the bit towards the end which shows what he has for supper on the combine, especially as his wife drives on of the combines
