Some of the robotics was the university of Lincoln developed stuff at Riseholme and in the south of the county.

Was I the only one to think that a lot of this is research for the sake of research?

The producers and presenters seem to love new fancy innovative technology because it sounds positive, trendy and cutting edge, but someone somewhere has to buy the machines and make them pay.

I'd be quite excited about it if it might ever become financially viable, and if I knew it wasn't likely to get legislated out of the ball park by the clipboards in this country. Sadly any financial gains achieved will bypass the farmers.

Everyone seems to love agricultural technology.....and then blames the farmer for destroying the environment.

it all came across very harpur!

Does Adam manage, rent or own any of the 4000 acres?

 

[chaffcutter]

I believe he rents most of the home farm and the rest is contract farmed by him and his partners

And that side splitting bit when he "caught the calendar"
The best bit tonight is when we were informed that foal booted Henson,
Two unfortunate things from that ,
One, it was a rare occasion he didnt have the camera on.
And two , it wasn't bloody hard enough

 

[JCfarmer]

I only watched 5 minutes, remembered why I don't watch it and turned over!

 

[Forkdriver]

I thought that the tidal issues were well covered. It's not a farming file.

 

[primmiemoo]

Could somebody more cleverer than me please explain how that bravey colt foal will stay a colt if he doesn't pass the test for retention as a stallion, and goes on for riding?
I couldn't follow what Henson said at all

 

[Forkdriver]

Having stallions here from what I saw, he already is starting to show that he will be a handful.

Also runs a far more successful & profitable cafe/shop on the farm

A shooting friend is grounds manager at the National Memorial Arboretum, they filmed Countryfile there this week for Remembrance Day. He was disappointed when told it was going to be Anita Rani but they changed it to Ellie, he said she was lovely.

 

[Courier]

“In the last 2 years we have only planted as many trees as we lost in the last 10 years”

So we are planting 5 x as many as we are losing ?

 

[Still Farming]

And bringing more and more bugs, pests and pathogens from foreign Countries with the demand for planting thus killing our own established trees ?????

 

[lazy farmer]

So what’s your answer do nothing ?
Honestly there is contrary and there is……

I think every school should have a project that gets each kid out to collect a handfull of seeds from the area and plant them and look after them untill they are big enough to be planted out.

Saves importing them and the disease, great learning opportunity, etc
