People don't understand how hard farmers work to put food on our plates, because without you all there would be no us. Well done to all you farmers who have slogged to get your crops in this year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The past few years for me and all the farmers have been so tough at one stage I was going to give up but I powered through 😅

And with no miners there would be no materials, and no trades no homes, and no doctors....blah blah blah....you can say it about literally every job.

They work no harder than millions of others… in many cases they work even less hard as so many others work. Try and be honest, try and be realistic when making comments that are utter crap…

​@1MrMoor they do work harder than many others. Why do you think farmers are dying out? The work is to gard and the new generation doesn't want to do it.

I love how the ginge automatically started steering the tractor so you could eat 👌🥰

It's so subtle but so lovingly obvious at the same time, the bond they have together is amazing 💜

Tom, one thing about your videos it’s proper warts and all content. The good the bad the ugly and everything in between. You’ve got what you’ve got in the clamps, you will have the maze. Hopefully the ground will dry out a bit see if any off it can be rolled out the get any slurry on reseed where it needs it you might get decent second cut and better third. Life has a way of balancing its self out. Hang on in there keep smiling keep making the great content

man that surgery your dad had must have ben wonderfull. he seems so much happier and energetic now after that.

great my friend

Just wait until October when that Maize is ready, you think the fields are chewed up now!

You did the best you could with the situation. Sometimes it’s about persevering and pushing forward. Well done. Also, it’s really great seeing videos of women working side by side on the farm. It started with Heidi - she was awesome. As a woman in her 50’s… you just don’t know how important it is for young girls to see these opportunities. Great job Pemberton family!

Tom just watch your first few videos and look how far you have come. Just look around you dad is still able to work with you. Your wife and son. Just look at that mess and be happy to be able to have the opportunity to have that mess. You should proud. Not dissapointed. Sometimes slower faster. Take it all in while it's still there.

Can we just appreciate how Tom managed to do all this and still drive a drone and edit this long video? Also, how is Anna so happy? Hahah 😂😂😂

Always on the lookout for Anna in the videos. Definitely brought extra fun and laughter to the farm.😊

Looking at this reminds me of maize chopping in the Autumn. Spent many a happy hour stuck in fields lol.

Heart breaking to see the carnage but try to remember if you're not winning you're learning. Great to see even with all the stress how excited about the maize sprouting you got

we need an update 3 weeks after lifting to see how well the field has recovered

Thanks Tom, for showing us all how hard this years first cut was. Despite all, you're keeping a positive vibe on the farm and it's showing through the screen! Many thanks for all the hard work you do to keep us up-to-date with farmlife 2024!

It’s only a little thing but it was such a nice moment when your old man grabbed the wheel 😊

I get so stressed out when I sink in and cause ruts like that. I think I would have a melt down in your situation - you handled it very well 😄👍

Can't win. Rained too late in Autumn for winter grass in Australia. Lots of thin sheep around in SA. Thanks for showing reality Tom.

Great to see father and son working together, I would have loved to have been able to do that, my Dad was a tenant farmer until I was born (I am the youngest of 6) he stopped farming in 1963, he got to 98 years young, father and son together on the farm is probably one of the reasons I love this KZread channel, chapeau Pembertons

Been a shocking year for all farmers Tom good to see you shining a light on how hard it can be. At least you made the best of a bad situation we just managed to get our hay in but it’s dried out now. We’ve lost 3 arable crops this year due to the weather and now we are struggling with ryegrass and blackgrass. It’s never ending but got to keep trying.

I appreciate you showing us the problems and challenges you face along the way. It's great to see you and your team smiling even though it's obviously been an absolute nightmare!

Awesome video Tom! You always show the reality of farming and what needs to be done and problem solving on the run! God bless all you hard working farmers and the strategies you can come up with at a moments notice to make things work and always ensure we have our food! Love the clamp! Love the smile your dad always has. ❤❤

Love seeing you and your dad spending time together

Keep on keeping on and showing what real farm life is like. Hats off to you!

Tom does indeed have the best playlists ever. 🤘🤘

You are having fun ,be happy it is warm. In Ontario Canada 1967 we were doing corn silage in November with a ft of snow on the ground and 2 120hp tractors pulling the forage harvester

Crickey you were right about how wet it was... We just used to do half loads when the fields were very wet, dont get me wrong we still made a mess😅. Thanks for sharing this Tom, like Olly you show the bad bits as well as the good times. Your a class act.. Cheers Tractor grandad

Great video to as useal. You will have plenty of practice and pulling tractors out when the maze is ready to cut . When I was younger my dad always covered the pit with dung. It was so much fun taking that off on a cold, wet winter's day 😢

TOM a few good things to note here 1. Credit to ALL involved in recording of this marathon video 😍 2. Look on the bright side that you've got a fairly good crop in 1+1/4 pits 👏🏻👏🏻 3 field can be harrowed and reseeded 😊 the next biggest hurdle is for that dam maize to grow 🤞🏻 but it may need a shake of fert/Till later on in summer before it get too high 🤔

Also, those drone shots are INSANE! The night ones especially gave me goose bumps!

Nice to see more of Anna and how she’s progressing in her career, good job all round with everyone.

Well done, Tom, you got there, and that's what matters. You and your team work so hard and so good together a lot of people just don't realise what is involved in farming. Your vidioes are bloody amazing mainly because you show all aspects good and the bad days. Always remember you are never alone. There is always someone going through the same as you, it's hard to think like that when you are in the moment but it's true. Your Dad Andrew is just amazing. All his knowledge is so valuable. I love seeing Anna she just cracks on and is so willing to get stuck in. It's brilliant to see young girls in the farm industry. Again, we'll Done all of you and take care 💜

Here in the U.S we had to have a John Deere 9830RX pulling the forage trailer tractor (John Deere 8410) and we had a John Deere 9640R Pulling the Forage harvester (John deere 9700) whilst harvesting. Wasn't fun.

Saw greenday at the weekend at the Isle of Wight festival they were Sunday nights headliner and have to say we’re absolutely incredible

Well done to you Tom and the team for pushing through such an awful chop and thank you for still putting out the amazing content that you always do

Massive big hugs too you All. Loved seeing you scream out to the Music, very good way to release some stress.

The Pemberton folks are a hard working crew! I live in British Columbia and will never have a sip of your milk but I can really appreciate what you do for your locals. It makes me respect Canadian Dairy Farmers getting a glimpse into a farmers day. Also, Green Day... Hell ya.

Love the Greenday in todays video, really sets the mood for all the wet troubles.

Oh Tom, I do not know how you all persevered through it all, thank you for showing how hard it is to bring grass in, let's hope people who make all the farming decisions in this country finally realise just how hard it is for every single farmer in the conditions you are all struggling with to bring food and commerce to this country. While watching Clarksons farm I watched how they are using seaweed to combat drainage problems, I remember your dad talking about how compact areas of the fields are and watching them blast into the earth then pumping seaweed into the space created which then allows the soil to drain, prehaps it might be worth trying a couple of fields to see IF it could help. Climate is being blamed for the amount of rain and I can't see it improving anytime soon. I live in Kent and the last few days we finally have had temps above the teens, I hope you are getting some good weather so the fields can start to recover. Thank you for everything you do Tom, love to you, Joanna, Harvey and all the Pemberton team xxx

Hey Tom, don't beat yourself up, the fields will heal with a little repairing. You have a crop in to feed your cows in the winter months, so milk production can carry on. Sometimes you have to roll with the punches, just keep on fighting, tomorrow is another day . Great drone shots from your pal and as usual great content, well done all the silage team 👍

life might be hard, but ive always been told to crack on and get it done.... this is a perfect example. things might be tough but they will certainly get better. send much love to the ginger guy with the MOOSTASH😄. looking forward to the maize☺

Love your tee-shirt. I think those are the most spoken words of any farmer.

Stunning drone shots from the night.

Oh Jesus my heart broke watching the machines bogging down, your fields are destroyed. A few brace of Heavy Horse around could help like back in the Olden Days at this stage 😭😭😭😭. You guys work so hard you should be applauded every day. Thank you for your hard work.

Nearly in tears here watching tractors getting stuck, hope the rest of the year goes better...much better

Stay positive and keep going that's all you can do. Your doing a great job

“Trusted you chopping grass and look what that turned into” Brilliant 😂😂

Those drone shots in the evening look fire🔥🤩

Great work tom save as mutch you can considering how crazy wet it got. We are only doing bals and first cut is done today and we got 1600 bales whitch is very good only 400 more and we will make it in the winter. Farmers in Sweden love you and all around you.

I appreciate its been tough going Tom, but the quality of the editing, cut always and music is fantastic

Fair play Tom those nighttime drone shot are sweet 👌👌

Holy moly, that is WET!! How you stay so chipper is beyond me!

Fantastic video ,well done to every one for an amazing job .

Seeing all the mess in the fields must be heartbreaking for all the hard work yourself and all of the team fingers crossed 2nd and 3rd cut will be 💯better Great videos as always plus I like how you show all the good, bad and the ugly things of farming

Excellent soundtrack Tom 👍

HI TOM fab video love all the Tractors you have sorry to see the fields are a mess i work in the kitchen in a private school and yes with out farmers there would be no food good music choice thanks Richard

Here in germany we couldnt get on our fields until end of april/ mid may, but at least pretty much everyone got a decent first and second cut. I cant remember it being so wet this late in the year. Glad you got your first cut done, even though it may not be the best quality silage you have done. To anwer your Question if the maize fits in the other clamp (28m long, 12m wide and 3/ 3.5m high, correct me if I'm wrong): to my calculations you have room for about 700 to 800 tons of fresh silage (at 32% drymatter) and the maize at 45 tons/ hectare would be 720 tons, so I think you should be fine.

Great content! Watching you get stuck, diff locked, all 150 horses blowing diesel smoke, full throttle, wooo-hoo! Not much else you can do, but it's great video.

I take my hat off to you Tom, I don’t know how you do the hours you put in with a baby. Johanna must have super levels of understanding. Love to you all ❤

Uneducated question but in a scenario like this could you possibly use the rakes to keep moving the cut over unto the dryer ground or would overwork the grass?

That looked tough going and will take some putting right. That’s why a lot of the big maize gangs especially have pushing blocks on the back of trailers so as they start to bog down a tractor comes up behind and gives them a with a suitable weightblock on the front linkage because “your not stuck till you stop so don’t stop!”

Fantastic sound track Tom!

Jesus tom u better pray for dry frostie weather wen you are chopping that maze... if its wet you are in trouble to get it out if the grass ground is that bad...

Great drone footage 👏👏👏💪💪💪

Brilliant vid !!

It good to you all are getting "stuck in" to get the job done😂😂😂❤❤❤😊😊😊

Hi Tom I really enjoy your videos something different then to the way we farm here in Canada. I agree you should take it easy this year on the big projects spend this year completing all the little things that need to be done to make everyones life easier. I feel the biggest reason that your land is so wet is the fact the ground is so compacted and the water cannot drain thru it the fields need to be cultivated and loosened up to allow water thru.

Every row, every soft spot I see coming I’m holding my breath!

I remember 2007 being like this , silaging for a customer everything was getting stuck 😮

Holy Cow! Even the trailer tires won't turn.

Love the Green Day music and great video!

Couple of 16ft Donnelly trailers needed there Tom. If @farm theory took those tanks of trailers into fields theyd sink too.

Thanks for the video Tom What a mess of muddy tire tracks BeWell and StaySafe ✌️

Fantastic vid Tom ,

Well you've certainly upped your music game somewhat! Love it.

I came to the farm shop on Sunday had a lovely bacon sarny and when driving down seen the maze shoots 🌽 good to see you a lot happier now it’s all done

For all your struggles at getting first cut in Tom you still put out a great video 👏 plus greenday and wombats 👌👌

Another very interesting video Thank you

Wow that’s so wet - Fastrac to the rescue - certainly need Olly’s 724/936 today lol. When I was in Germany once and was watching maize harvesting in the wet both the Jaguar and a Fendt 939 got stuck!

Don't forget, you are always doing your bestest.

My heart was breaking for you as i watched this video, just imagining how it would feel to be in that situation. You did really well to get through it. Tomorrow is a new day !!

I really feel for you and other farmers, my brother (farming in mid-Wales) especially of course. I can only hope that the weather will improve and the ground dry up just enough, but not go to the other extreme of being too dry. There is a danger that there will be a shortage of silage and too of straw for the upcoming winter if this continues and a lot of farmers may have to invest in alternative feedstuffs and bedding. That means higher food prices for the rest of us of course and so everyone has a vested interest in things improving for the farmers.

Even though it was a bit of a slog, it was still good to see the first cut done. At least now you always be able to talk about 1st cut of 24. Clamp sure looks full, too, and looks great with the roof on.

It's in now, sealed up and safe. There's not much more you can do now. You've done your best, and that's all anyone can ever do. Keep strong Tom.

we just have to do what we can to get food for the cows in and with now food for the cows there is no food for us , unless you have done the job you have no idea what we do to get food on the table , with this their now will be a cost to put the chewed up fields right to get the next cut , you take a chance with the weather most days on a farm and it can bit you in the butt if you get it wrong , you never have a guarantee of what you will get for the end product farming is a risk we take every day , well done Tom and Team you got it in , and good to see Luke at the end , we need more of Luke

Yep, grim conditions all round but the show must go on. On the plus side the roof looks good and will reduce dirty water next winter

Tom Great footage. Unbelievable. So tough on ye. Hope the year gets better from here

Great video, sad about the fields. You all worked very hard. Also great music love Green Day.

I could cry for you Tom. Great job . Xx

Yes Tom what a top job cleaning the road, around here in the staffs moorlands they don't bother and riding a motorbike as I do its bloody dangerous.👍

Mr tom.. at work they had 120 acres cut for first cut.. by miracle got it after 2 days of rain. Getting slurry out was a nightmare and trying too save hay this week. 120 bales of haylage cut and wrapped but is now being fed too the milkers as theres very little growth. Your not the only one.. all you can do is salvage what ya can.. evan from cork Ireland

Tom,Gerry here from South west irl,i prefer clamp to big bales too,im feeling ur pain as regards the bad weather and damage done to land,Keep the chin up sun will shine again.

Wow that was bad. Feel for all the other farmers in the same situation been a terrible year. Loved the tunes this week 🎶 Haha I'm sure we will all re visit this vid when you open the clamp to see if the mighty ginge will be right or wrong 😅

Great drone views! Wow

What a mess. I feel for you all the hard work.

What a total nightmare.... really feel for you guys!

You all did a cracking job all of you considering how wet it's been fingers crossed for next time 👏👏

Love to see a tm in the fleet 🚜

Thank you for these videos during what is evidently a far from ideal situation Tom. Hopefully your hard work and perseverance will see a decent 2nd and 3rd cuts further down the line. I’m sure our Seasons have shifted by a month or two over the last 5/10 years Tom as we seem to get the traditional April deluge later in the Summer or is it simply extending 🤷🏻‍♂️ Perhaps you should look at opening a few acres of rice paddy next Season ? Or alternatively open a few acres up for bog snorkelling 😉👍🏼 Keep on keeping on Tom 🤜🏼⚡️🤛🏼

I feel your pain. Those conditions are just horrible, but nothing you can do about it.

Love the way Anna has time to have a full face of makeup up and a big smile on her face and time to bee happy happy while toms fretting 😂😂😂great job done by all
