Such good english speakers, none of us would be able to converse like that in any foreign language.

Love the co operation between themselves the neighbours and the local government, they’re slurry utilisation is unbelievable

well done ,great video ,full marks for reminding us how badly we have been treated by ESB and countless governments in Ireland for the past 40 years since its been discovered we can produce power in a very environmentally friendly fashion down on the farm . Esb still cant see their way to encouraging it and gov dont seem to be bothered either , but they all sure know how to increase charge for the units, form 17c 3 years ago to present tally at 48c. Fair play and again Great vid.

What a video ! What a farm ! So so interesting & what a set-up now in fairness. What a great opportunity ye had to go visit there 👍👍👍

When I farmed down country a man who worked for me said of Starlings ,"Them is an orriable bird and looks like em been doused in diesel" and I am sure we who feed stock in sheds agree.! Great Video

Hi Phil the company I work for feeds gas and electricity into the national grid in Ireland. Mostly from food waste they run their own trucks and vans on cng from scrubbed methane. The Dutch were always ahead of the rest of Europe IMO

You should try and organise farmer Phil to make a video of the setup

This is just amazing. The way to go Phil.❤️❤️❤️

Just for a bit of context, Holland is the size of Munster and has 17 million people of a population. It’s essentially a big city and that’s why there’s a gas grid . Future of farming looks like Buildings, tanks pipes and cables .

There was an episode of these Biodigesters was shown on RTE Eco Eye in 2019 this is the way forward for farming we could be become more in farming for energy rather that agri products.

Those biodigesters just make sense. You should look into producing methanol. You put 14% methanol in diesel and get more torque.

Fantastic video. One of the most interesting and well put across I’ve ever watched. Really well done

1 meter below sea level in my head it shouldn't work, really interesting video Phil goes to show the difference in prices & there farming practices 👌👍

Great video showing the farm in the Netherlands.

That was a really interesting tour. Some very insightful conversations. Thank you 👍

Great video Phil. Very informative & interesting how things are done on that farm in Holland. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼

Great video. Great admirable farm. Below sea level!! I’m in the USA and have never been to Europe. It’s very interesting to see the farming systems there and no language barrier is nice as well. Thank you

Fantastico, Great stuff Everybody, Thank You💯👍🙏

What great host's & interesting visits.

Hi Phil great video very interesting and informative keep up the good 👍 work

Wise man Very informative

Super conformation of that farms dairy cows, indeed, their farm sets the bench mark very high too of how a farm ought to be run.

Vary nice Phil so many different ways people farm.

Great video, it's the way it will go here as well

A really interesting set up on that farm and really nice folk as well. It’s mind bending that they live below sea level

Thanks for this, a very interesting post, I am really enjoying this tour and fair dues you are asking all the right questions which for a non dairy farmer is very impressive lad . Hope you do a reaction video at the end as I would love to hear what liv and Derek and you take from all you have seen. Regards from the hills of Wicklow.

Very interesting video Phil well done to the dutch farmers

It’s amazing what power can be generated with biodomes. There is a great company in Cornwall how put a treatment plant on one of the sites I worked at. They also do bio gas generation from animal waste.

Very enjoyable video Nice to c what is coming down the line for Irish farmers

Great man to interview. Should be in to agri reporting

Brillent video phil

Very interesting, some setup 👍

Interesting video seeing how other countries farm

New parlour going in so Phil!

Good man Phil good video

Very Enjoyable.

Interesting recording Phil, fair play to all 👍

Great video Phil 👍. I’ve said before, Europe are ahead of us over here. That farm seems really well setup. As he said there trying to work with locals and government, I do wonder if we’re more headed to head with that kinda stuff🤔🤔🤷‍♂.

you British farmers should be ashamed of yourselves with that Brexit shit.

Thanks , entrepreneur`s are the future.

I expected to see Liv in a neck brace after that sleep the other day in the car.

I was on a farm in Carlow about 15 years ago that had one of these. It was run by a German family. They had about 200 cows and they also made cheese. Ireland with regards to Electricity is about 20 years behind some of the top countries in Europe. The ESB and the dept of energy are a joke. Our policies make no sense.

i recorded a programme ( i think the bbc made it) from Irish television in the 1990s about either the Dutch or the Danes doing bio digesters and we still haven't embraced this old technology.

Good stuff

Love these farm tours. The hanging hoff trimer was something a bit different. 😳

I'd love to see you visit the farm I work at (also in the netherland) we also have a digester only we don't export gas we make hot water and electricty for the grid. and a very recent addition wich was kinda talked about in this video is a mini fertilizer plant that with alot of electricity and the digest pull nitrogen out of the air and puts it into the slurry thus making it kinda liquid fertilizer (prototype ish rn) also we do all of our grasswork ourselfs and there's an intire side of the buisness wich is kind of a daycare for people with diabilities that want to work. sad that you've already done your holland tour but there's always a next time right? anyway great video interesting to see a digester from a diffrent brand setup quitte diffrently to what i'm used to 👍

Happy xmas

Very very uinteresting. I wonder what Father Phil thinks about it all.

Brilliant video. So much of the technology could be used here. From a second income to our green image and our climate change targets.

Thank you for this interesting video, hats off to those farmers that stick their nose out and do something new :) Gonna be interesting too see if you picked up some inspiration to change your farm Phil :)

What a set up that is.

Brillant video Phil no ditches or hedges there same in Germany clown here Eamonn Ryan wants all the hedges and not to cut them no wonder the roads are shite and there is accidents out with them greens scourge on society well done phil

Niice video very interesting

Nice to see liv awake 😂

So, so interesting. Some farms are so advanced in the Netherlands and some other mainland countries too. Best advice spoken was bottom up not government up. These politicians know nothing and the advice has to come from the farming industry.

Phil, I love your channel and your content is always great. Would you do an Irish Mammie a favour, rush your hair like a Good man. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻😂😂😂😂😂

Have you got solar on your sheds phill or looked into it or maybe having a small wind turbine a farm up the road from me has it and it powers most if not all the energy

@@FARMERPHIL3690 I used to install solar and we put massive amounts of panels on farms , buiseness didn't really have a limit. Houses did though but i haven't done it for years.thanx for the reply phil and merry Christmas mate .

An ad plant use a tird of its energy heeting the substrate By this farmer putting energy from the pv panel into the ad plant he can save a tird more gas/stored energ the holy gril of renuble energy . Turning pv energy into stored energy.By transporter gass from farms to an chp planat in a larger bilding in towns means at peack time breakfast and dining times the chp plants can come on heating the building and creates electric power busting the grid .electricity becomes the substute for a gas grid .Chp plants are some thing like 95 percent efecient

It has been known by greens that co2 could be halved and that and 87 percent carbin footprint reduction by putting slurry true an A D plant.You have to ask why this wasn't soporter enthusiastically. The future land growing scrub as the farmers described is way greens prefer the land to be rather than monoculture even with many different veritys of grass . Lots of green policy are to make farmers less productive less cow's per acer ect with subsidies . If they achieve this how long will thay super no productivity farmers.

Go the kiwi cross 👌

'Factory Farming' at it's best, Nestle Style 🤔

Politicians feed the people," sorry farmers"

Top farm there turning muck into money

Seems a factory farm cows never graze in field 😏

Good vid, would be an awful shame for ireland to go housing cows to go the digester route, backwards in my mind. Also nice mf 8250 on donedeal at the moment lads 😉

I don’t think you’d need to go all in doors to work the digester. If you had the right setup and storage and worked with other neighbours for slurry it’d be achievable. Definitely be more work tho
