Life on the farm tonight at 9 on Quest - freeview 12/freesat 172/sky 144 /virgin 169.

Watching it now - very good so far, allowing for the constant 'drama' to engage the non-farming public. Proper farming.

Looks good but I think I'm going to get irritated by the 'good lifer'

 

[Karliboy]

No cows or sheep yet ?‍?

He’ll be there a long while spraying that black grass

Stakes ,pignetting and a strand of electric!
FFS

I'm happy to be proved wrong but I'm pretty sure a small investment in electric fencing will keep pigs in better than gates and weld mesh panels... If the welding lad works for free it's probably all right but I'd still go with leccy

Good programme giving a balanced view between make do and mend vs buying new. Plenty of examples in the real world to compare with. I do wonder if these programmes open the farms up to h & s scrutiny as it usually descends to one here.

My wife was at Ag college with his sister, and he’s probably making more than the guy with a new combine and crops full of black grass . The farm is near Oswestry and @Tarw Coch will know them

Interesting picture of the blackgrass, obviously a spraying issue!

Modern farmers haven't time for sheep. Glad I'm old fashioned ??

Or a small tractor and rotavator before the seed is viable ,,we found for patches and hedge sides where BG and sterile brome was creaping in it was more effective,,then after harvest ,what ever had grown again ,glipho the lot

Line where they flipped the sprayer on / off

 

[Still Farming]

Good so far.

 

[Agriimark]

That ally was on t.v before i think, first time farmers a few years ago [emoji848]

 

[icanshootwell]

I think those that missed the show require evidence.

I think it was a hotter day that was shown on the programme last night.

 

[Ramrod]

Bit over dramatized, you don't suddenly find blackgrass when crop is in ear.

 

[Landrover]

I don't want to pick fault with anyone on the program but spraying with the knapsack with wellies and sunglasses as your ppe while walking through the sprayed stuff and getting filmed isn't a good idea ? (And before I get shot down for pointing this out, we've all done it including me ! )

Yeh, but if you try walking backwards you trip over!
