joe seels is doing a lot of moaning about his dad, doesn't look like dad likes the filming. Wonder if we will see him getting another job.
Bet his dad moans about him too.

Always seems to be away on a jolly with the enthusiastic crew, olly, Holly and Tom!

Olly moans about his dad too, not sure what he'd be doing if not for business his dad built.

Ditto for myself.

Trouble is they will be making more money doing vids than getting wages

I watch DuffyAg and he’s had a major fall out with his family. He claims they told him they shouldn’t pay him because he was making money off YouTube. Which in fairness is true and without the family farm he’d have nothing to show. End of it was they took out an injunction against him.
 
I bet the ginger guy and father phil thought it was pure nonsense when their son's started, but I would be sure that they have changed their mind by this stage of the game.

You cannot begrudge them for following the money. Realistically, YouTube is a proper farm diversification project and needs to be treated like any other business with adequate time and resources management.
