James Peck talks farming

“The future of farming is twofold for me: it’s about supporting and working together through the challenging times and celebrating the good times, and it’s also about combining scale for efficiencies of economies and specialism to build value.

 

We've decided as a business that we want to focus on growing crops. Producing food, that is our role in society. We do a lot of environmental work and regenerative agriculture. We need to find the right balance.”

From the fields to the final product, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the entire farm-to-table process.

Wet Weather Brings Drilling to a Halt, Bowser Repairs & Spraying Pre-Emergents

The rain has put a stop to our drilling, but we’re not letting it slow us down! In this video, we shift our focus to catching up on spraying, though it’s not without its challenges. Our water bowser’s leaf springs collapse, leaving it stranded on the road. Watch as we recover it and make quick repairs to get back on track. The Unimog shows its versatility as the perfect spraying support, and Kieran gets to work applying pre-emergent chemicals while we make safety upgrades, like installing new safety chains to our drills while they are in the yard. Meanwhile, Cousin Michael is spotted by viewers, and Sandy gives us his latest weather update as we battle the unpredictable conditions. We also discuss a new milling wheat variety, Cheer, and James undergoes a medical check—does he really need glasses? Plus, we discuss the recent news of young passengers in the cabs of farm machinery and what this means for us and the wider industry. Join us for all the action, from Fendt 942 repairs to getting caught up on farm tasks during this wet spell. As always James answers some of your questions at the end of the video!

Fendt 1167 Put to the Test! Late-Night Drilling, Missing Wheel Nuts & Racing the Weather

In this action-packed video, we put the new Fendt 1167 to the test as we race the weather to keep up with our drilling schedule! From missing wheel nuts to late-night fieldwork, there's never a dull moment on the farm. The day starts off with a health and safety reminder for our building team thanks to your previous comments and shortly after we see Kieran’s not so graceful (and unplanned) dismount from his Fendt 942! We get into the nitty-gritty of seed depth and pre-emergent plans, while Graham sets up his drill completing the line up of our 4 drills. Meanwhile, Cousin Michael checks in on all things agronomy, and the team battle a punctured tyre thanks to James forklift skills. The Fendt 1167, now fully set up, is ready to roll with Glynn behind the wheel. We also showcase the power of the Horsch Sprinter and Pronto 6M while handling some late night repairs on the Horsch Joker 12M. Plus, the Mercedes Unimog is back in action and the hedge cutting is now complete. As always James answers some of your questions at the end of the video!

High Ergot Levels Threaten Our Wheat! Inside the Grain Lab’s Critical Role

High Ergot Levels Threaten Our Wheat! Inside the Grain Lab’s Critical Role

In this video, we take you inside our grain lab for a deep dive into the crucial steps needed to save our wheat from high levels of ergot, one of the worst we’ve seen in years due to a wet winter. With the risk of mills rejecting our wheat, it's vital that we remove every trace of ergot to avoid massive losses. Thankfully, our 5-channel colour sorter is up to the task, detecting and sorting grains by color, size, and shape to ensure top-quality wheat for us and our customers. We’re also busy blending wheat to balance the protein levels across our stock, meeting the strict standards set by the millers. Plus, we share your comments on Pete’s quest for a new wheelbarrow—it’s safe to say it brought a smile to his face! While cultivations are currently on hold due to the weather, we're wrapping up the seed cleaning process in preparation for the upcoming drilling season. Join us as we navigate these challenges and keep the farm running smoothly! As always James answers some of your questions at the end of the video!
