Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

[Spud]

Nice to see farmer Phil’s starting to get the place up together as well and the bulls that they bought into the shed looked real good.

Yes, they bugger about with rough old kit at times, but seem to be making progress. Genuine sorta folk

Wardy was wittering on about his YouTube pals being at the FW awards, some of them seem a bit false to me. Charlotte Ashley & Joe Seels particularly, I rarely watch them now. Olly blogs seems to be either breaking or buying something.

Dovey is refreshingly real life

Jemma Warren is a good watch, proper grand lass.

Jemma's great, Wains are lucky to have her, she puts up with some shite on the road but never goes on big rants about it (on camera anyway).

Like Dove farms, genuine bloke.
That's about it for the UK ones, struggle with the rest.
Farming fixing and Fabricating and Piet van Bedaf are two large US dairy farmers doing things in different ways, an interesting comparison.
Once a day farmer over here is about as laid back as you get.

What do people think of T P’s latest fast and the farmerish? Some of the games are a great idea and good fun, just felt there was far too much swearing going on for no reason.

I preferred the format of the second series compared to the first one. Agreed on the swearing, stops it being watchable by the whole family.

This guy from NI has a very good video up on his parlour design. Most of his content is on TikTok.

It was a very good video to watch. Disagree on some things and boy that kind of money, but openness deserves some respect.
I don't get why anyone would be on tikitok but hey.

Like or loath them; ollyblogs, Joe seals, farmer p, Charlotte Ashley, funkyfarmer the list goes on, it’s called diversification… we all have been told we need to do something, some of us grow different crops some of us opened farm shops or holiday let’s, these guys have done something ahead of the trend and costs next to nothing.

Just record your daily activities…. Farming on the whole is quite repetitive and can be boring so they all need to spice it up slightly so we watch it! Weather that be acting up for the camera, bodging stuff or ranting, the reality is ollyblogs quite famously states that YouTube pays for his new sprayer, I should imagine there’s also spare cash after that too, let’s be fair he’s brought another farm recently so that must speak volumes.

as much as we knock them all, who’s the idiots. Us for ploughing loads of money in to holiday lets to diversify or him for recording his day and taking an hour to stitch it all together and upload it.

I say kudos to them. Fake or not, liking the celebrity lifestyle or not, they’ve diversified and making good money from it.

He says it is because he can just point the camera phone say something and then press upload.
Whereas with YT you need to edit etc and just takes too much time. I think someone edits them for him.

Has started putting more detailed content onto you tube. He has automated his drinkers to self clean which was an interesting video.

TBF his Ticktocks are quite good too.

I think alot of the youtubers that get regular mention on here are probably all quite relateabale to people we know round about us, down to earth and gets on with job, up there own arse, always got to have the new gear and demos etc, as you say they have found a diversification that is working for them and the more they do it the better they get at presenting and the more lucrative it becomes for them. Some of them have certainly tagged on to others to promote themselves. I suppose its like soaps really becomes habit watching and more you watch more you want to follow and see whats going on. I've watched a few that dont have so many followers and some of them could be really good with a bit more confidence and pushing themselves, but would that take away some of the honesty of some of the videos. Farming the british way I've watched as they've built a new robot shed, looks like doing most of it themselves, others might of made 3 or 4 more times the videos on it

The female youtubers just don't do it for me. Acres of clay is an exception, can't think of any other women I follow. Laurafarms was good in the beginning, ag with emma is quite good come to think of it.

Yeah agree, I started to do some video's but it's harder then you think. Me having a tendency to mumble is quite annoying when listening to myself

Not farming, but enjoying Colin Furze's latest videos on his "secret" tunnel. Appearance by Tom Lamb too.

i only watch her for her arse, OOH!

 

[Wombat]

I still like watching the overseas guys, see a bit of ag we don’t see everyday.
Can watch diesel creek Matt reminds me of a good friend of mine and cutting edge Australia any day though

I’ve stopped watching Ollybloggs now and I know a few others have as well. I don’t like his pro Nfu stance and he refuses to acknowledge the Red Tractor issue as he’s on the crops board. He’s going to start to alienate his peers if he’s not careful but then maybe he’s not bothered about that as his you tube channel is growing but with none farming subscribers.
The only U.K. one I dip in and out of now is Dove.
