If you’d said to me a year ago I’d be hooked on farming videos, I would have laughed. Yet here I am, wanting more! It’s all too easy to go to the supermarket and buy your food and not give a second though about how much effort goes into getting it produced. It’s amazing how detailed and intricate the farming process is. Huge respect to all the farmers.

As a big car enthusiast, I completely agree. I am actually a city boy (Oslo, Norway), but moved to the countryside in Denmark (Jutland) with my Danish wife when I was 33. I never thought I would be interested in agriculture (I'm an IT software engineer), but now it's happening right outside the house (100 meters away) and it's actually very interesting to follow the work throughout the year. We also have farmers in my wife's family and now, thanks to, among others, Harry, I can participate in the conversations without being a total noob :)

Wonderful, thank you Harry and team. Took me back some fifty odd years to sitting on a harvester in the heart of Herefordshire well into the night as a young boy, lights blazing into the dust, cups of tea off the back of the Austin Cambridge pickup I was allowed to drive in the field, stretching for the pedals and stirring the column gear change. Seems like yesterday.

Ah yes, the Days-Out-For-Wealthy-Upper-Middle-Class-Londoners show every sunday. Farming today at 6:45am on Radio 4 is much more real world.

I've always known farming was challenging, but never imagined how complex the decisions and planning could be. Really informative and interesting video.

Started off on the Harry's Garage channel but actually I'm now enjoying the Farm channel that bit more. Many thanks Harry for keeping these videos coming, they are entertaining as well as quite informative. And I did appreciate the occasional 'Boris' hints in this one :)

Always interesting. Borderline scary, i.e., the risks and decisions in everyday farming. Also, watching that clip of Charlie driving the combine with you beside him, the level of concentration he was displaying was incredible...and, I daresay, exhausting, to successfully operate that bit of kit. Nicely done, you guys!

Loving the drone shots of the farm. Never fails to deliver this channel!

It really is a great addition to an already great video.

I have an allotment of 250 sq metres and this season has been really hard but when I watch your videos I have developed huge respect for the farming community. If my harvests fail I feel disappointed and then drive to the supermarket to feed myself. You guys have to feed the nation, any failures on your side and the population goes hungry. 💕💕✌✌

From start to finish, this video was 22 minutes of mind blowing education. Harry, I am humbled by you and the countless thousands who work in your profession.

Cabin dialogue was a lovely addition guys

Charlie the combine driver saved the combine from burning because he smelled the burning smell and more importantly acted on it which saved the machine from burning. A good machine driver is priceless. Nothing excites me more is the burning smell of straw when you are on a combine harvester or any machine in a field until you know its not your machine thats burning.

Great update video Harry. You and Charlie make a great team at harvest. Thanks for providing so much detail. I really love watching farm machinery in the field and your drone shots and camera work scratch that itch perfectly.

For what's its worth a hand held pressurized weed sprayer just filled with water makes an excellent fire suppressant. The long hose and gun let's you poke it in places you can reach and the nozzle fan covers a bit of surface. A little bit of water goes a long way. Not heavy, refillable, cheap and compact. Great for jobs like welding in place where a fine mist of water stops things catching fire but doesn't soak critical parts or work areas. Yes. Fires are scary.

Harry - I simply love your output! Effortlessly blending in family anecdotes, films of family japes, stunning drone footage, tales of Evo twattery and fascinating insights (for a non-farmer such as me!) Together with the Garage vidoes, there's a real sense of vicarious joy. Please keep them coming!

We have been out on the fire truck 7 times today, 4 of them for harvest crop fires, yesterday we delt with one that engulfed 100 + acres of unharvested barley. It been a busy harvest season for us so far here in Marlborough. Fortunately no combine harvesters have gone up in smoke. Glad you caught yours in time.

Great stuff. My Dad used to work in the agricultural industry, and I loved working with him during school and uni holidays. So much more rewarding than a desk! The Volvo racing was a nice touch.

Takes me back to my roots growing up on a 500 acre farm in Ontario, Canada. Later I ran a combine in the harvest season to earn money for school. It was a fine life to grow up. Not a great way to earn a living so I went off to a hitech career which turned out to get the job done. Really enjoy Harry sharing the life.

As someone who lives in Colorado, I am sorry to see more and more people living with the dangers of fires. Stay safe, stay aware, but don't let a healthy worry develop into a chronic stressor. Best of luck on your future harvests

As much as a problem as it is, it's hardly an increase. There's been at least 3 droughts much worse than this last century, 1921 being the most severe. That said, I still sympathise with farmers who deal with arson and chaff ignition, whilst harvesting, during these times.

Great Commentary Harry. Keep up the good work from an Aussie Farmer. cheers

Great Videos. As a 'townie' I find this an insight into farming that I have never appreciated before and the technical aspects of modern day farming equipment amazes me. Thank you Harry.

Harry, my father-in-law owns a 4000 acre farm in central Iowa....but I have learned more from you than 30 years of twice-yearly visits to my wife's family farm!

Great video Harry,keep up the good work.I am an ex farmer in NZ so appreciate the trials and tribulations of harvest,glad im not farming now with all the rules,regulations and pressures that the modern farmer is faced with even here in NZ.

could not even imagine i would wait these farm videos with such desire and curiosity. it is amazing. keep it up Mr Harry

Great video Harry, you are really good at 'telling the story' :)

We are truly in awe of everything you farmers do for us. We must not lose sight of the fact you keep us all alive and should be forever grateful for your hard work and determination in these strange times. Love to you all.

Keep the water bowser hitched up and ready.. This takes me back to my days farming. Trying to push up in the barn and get back to unload.. Most people have no idea the work, stress that goes into a loaf of bread. In my youth, the harvest was handled in bags and sacks, every one carried on your back.

My wife works for a grain merchants, she personally deals with wheat and barley, when we watch your videos she can almost correctly guess what it is you are going to say about the prices and why the proteins are low/heavier yield, her work are impressed with her for also watching your videos

As a descendant of much-exploited Sufffolk farm labourers I seem to have inherited a considerable prejudice against farmers as a breed....I can still hear my dad's grumbles about never seeing a poor one...but these videos of Harry's are dissolving it. His easy manner, his excellent way of relating to his workers and his clear frank explanations of the farm's many operations are impressive: it's true....no prejudice can withstand the light of full and clear explanation of everything involved in any particular situation.

Always great to see the interaction between Harry and Charlie

Another wonderful video Harry, thank you. It is a predicament with this drought and what/if to plant. Charlie’s old video was amazing, reminds me of learning to drive at 8 years old in 97’ on an 88’ Chevy Caprice police car. It’s also amazing what he said with the man and the drought in 73’ from March to Sept no rain and there was nothing to combine. An entire season wasted. Be VERY thankful you have the Evo backup and you can soak up a few dead seasons if absolutely needed. You had your supercar, brought things back to some sense of reality with a still beautiful collection and still enjoying life, keep it up sir, your seeing things I will never get to.

Fantastic video Harry. Many thanks. There is no one in the world producing such accurate, down to earth, practical and especially on a family basis. Love the footage / flashback. Best of luck for the rest of this season and beyond.

Great vid. Good to know where the wheat came from for our Lloyds Animal Feeds Mill at Wrexham to keep our high quality feed flowing 😀😀

Love the drone footage, Harry. Very interesting film & good to see some Father/son harvesting

The vintage clip of boy Charlie tootling about the field in a Volvo was excellent.

Brought back such happy memories of corn carting for Mr Jenkinson at nearby Eastleach- summer of 1983. We used to burn the straw back then - how times have changed.

My uncle grew a family farm into thousands of acres of cropland. Seeing the equipment you are using reminds me so much of what (now) my cousin and his son use. The guidance system for tractors and combines is marvelous. The ability to see all that harvest data in real-time is amazing. A grew up a farm boy, so this update is highly interesting to me. For all of our nonfarming neighbors, your work is very informative.

Great video Harry. As someone who has experienced many harvests I really enjoy watching your videos. You manage to capture the joys, trails and tribulations of the farming year. Kept it up!

I know they're built to do the job, but I'm still amazed that combine harvesters work as well as they do. Thinking about the number of bearings, linkages, belts, chains, motors, blades, drums, filters, nuts, bolts, doobries and whatnots involved, their whole lives are one long torture test and a sympathetic mechanic's nightmare.

Brilliant video! You must be very proud of Charlie, it’s great to see you both working together
