Excellent! But why not kill that music

Must admit, I'm not mad about the music

started watching it but ran out of time, will catch the rest later

Is it aimed at potential a TV audience John ?

It is going on a Sky channel I've never heard of next year. I see it more as primetime BBC...
It's got a fleeting glimpse of you in it. And an interview with @Richard III
But you're right...it's aimed at a wider audience than farmers, else I'd have sent her away when we were cutting that dreadful crop of spring wheat...

Good effort from @Richard lll considering the night on the tequila...!!

Just watched this, brilliant effort, and a lot better than Indiana Jones. Would be nice to have it screened at the Oxford real farming conference? The only fly in the ointment is the 'G' word, should a system of no till be developed without glyphosate then all the ducks would be in a row.

First on a coldish Christmas eve I joined in with the teenage members of my family , we are sat in the same room , fire lit , tv on ,and all watching different devices ,....Then I saw myself ,....briefly .

I had lost heart in no-till CA etc , its what the Yanks and Ozzies do , wont work over here .
Its nice to have a video that isn't North Dakota based , well worth a watch and will be definitely be back next year.

I was thinking it didn't look the best

You'll be pleased to hear that the music has been turned down a bit and the sound balanced better.

In other news Fiona the film-maker had a nice email from Carlos Crovetto's family saying how he enjoyed seeing how much the no-till scene has changed in the UK since he was last here (and seeing his own farm on the film before it was ravaged by fire)

Very interesting and well produced film. Wifey seems quite a driving force with the whole thing to aid Organization of the event.

Thanks for posting. TBH little I hadn't gleaned from on here anyway but would be good for those who know very little about what CA even is.

I've been visiting and writing up, http://bit.ly/2gFWjll numerous No-Tillers in the UK for the past five years (and always want to visit more!). USDA has given a huge shove for No-Till in the US. In UK there's seems to be less direction and interest, despite the benefits. I wonder why?

Because it does't work!
