Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

Caught up with a few tubers last night, two extremes

Andy Hourigan of Farm, Fixing and Fabrication has an excellent last video out, it's a very poignant video where he is basically signing off Youtube.. you need to watch it till the end.

I would have always said that South Sask Farmer was my fav, but just one little comment he said in his last video, has really put me off watching any more

Some of the kit they have is unreal .He's pretty good and interesting to watch .The difference in climate amazes me .

mikes still got best kit but he can be annoying, millennial at least is quite amusing too and just works with his dad, i like that, its not insane scale and he has a good sense of humour, its more general entertainment.

i do still drop in on mikes as he does alot of videos and it he is interesting, he was explaining difference between walker combines vs most modern ones showing his old mf, i learned alot as im livestock not arable, he explains alot of stuff which is cool about the sives and different crops etc on then which i had no idea about.

Anyone have any idea where he farms? Can't place his accent.
Andy works on a farm down in Hampshire.

Doug is very good without trying. I enjoy his bits on camera
Dougo has beocme one of my favourite guys to watch even though hes not the main guy on the channel, hes quite entertaining. His instagram is pretty good fun as well.

Not a farmer, but for a guy who churns out loads of farming related video’s with absolutely no commentary or music, ‘balmesh’ doesn’t half rack up the subscribers and I bet he’s a nice income from YouTube.

Some of his videos have had over a million views to date,

Missus watch's, Cole the corn star. I catch it occasionally. Quite a good watch. Not massive acreage US farmers. Got autosteer on the combine this year for first time. Come across quite well.
She first watched them when they got hit by that massive wind event that tore through their area earlier in the year.

What happened to the young lad that was doing a nice big robotic milking shed. He had 4 robots in one shed. They had Fent tractors. And made video’s of them making a silage pit.

Err, I couldn’t be bothered watching any farming YouTube’s ( apart from ones I’ve featured in 🤣 )
I think I’ve experienced, lived & know a very diverse range of agricultural experiences & some very good operators - I don’t need to waste time looking at a screen at various “look at me” types . . .
If I’m trawling YouTube, it’s either music or motorbikes . . .
Have no interest in the big egos self promotion, or hard luck stories of others
