Countryfile tonight

[Sonoftheheir]

was it just me or did every crop shown look utterly terrible ?

made me feel slightly better about our rubbish crops this year at least

Yes terrible, didn’t make me feel better though.

I can’t imagine any land agents I know that would be willing to work on a voluntary basis.

the ones i have encountered charge their own mothers by the hour for visiting grandchildren

Our man in Lewis deserves every penny for his whisky. As much grass as barley, 1 ton per acre, looked like he was cutting it high then someone was following up with a mower. No GPS or fancy stuff on that combine and weather that makes climate change look like a blip

I've never had my local class dealer ring me up to say I've got a problem arising on my combine........mind you, it is 20 yrs old :-/

At that age is probable doesn't have all the unnecessary gizmos that cause problems

He should have mentioned sugar beet too. But I guess he doesn’t grow that.

Adams harvest piece was brilliant, a real sense of the true reality of being a modern farmer. Riding about organising everyone and watching harvest get done. The public must be in awe at the professionalism of farmers these days.

I'm beginning to wonder what I'm playing about at.

I only thought the piece about the rape and spray was good . To be honest if i was one of his workers I would have been embarrassed to have to appear on countryfile and be given a bottle of ale and a sarnie to say Thankyou for the hard work.

It was a pared down harvest supper, but what it symbolised was got across - at least, that's what I felt.

Yes ,and now saying the supermarkets will be looking down on your fields and telling you to up your game.
Not mentioning the carbon footprint of the stuff they import, or the prices they screw us down on

I really enjoyed the bit where they said that infrastructure and agriculture were infringing on the wood then later mentioned that there wood was right next to manchester and implied house building might also be to blame ... there seemed no need to suggest ag had anything to do with it?
