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.”

Final Drilling Days! Agronomy Decisions & Fendt 1167’s First Season Review!

With James on holiday, the team powers through to wrap up drilling across Bedfordshire, the final hurdle after completing Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. Glynn shares his full review of the new Fendt 1167 and its performance this season, while George keeps us on track with his Case Quadtrac and 12-meter Avatar, giving us some serious power in the fields. Cousin Michael walks us through his agronomy decisions and the strategies for controlling blackgrass this year, ensuring everything stays on point in James’ absence. We also get hands-on with the custom Horsch 6-meter Finer for our precision work, and it’s time to try out the newly added slug pelletter! Every piece of equipment is out in full force as we push to complete this year’s drilling before the weather changes again. Tune in for reflections on the season, insights into our agronomy strategy, and the final countdown to finishing our drilling campaign.

Can Cousin Michael Handle the Pressure? Quadtrac & Mud Rescues Begin!

This week, we’re ramping up the drilling action in Cambridgeshire, calling on our friends to bring in their Case Quadtrac and Horsch Avatar to help us power through the final stretch. With Cousin Michael holding down the fort while James is away, there’s plenty of action—and a bit of chaos—to keep things interesting! We’re close to finishing up, but a series of setbacks makes it harder than we expected. From George’s unexpected horse-riding talent to the moment Glyn’s Fendt 1167 finds itself well and truly stuck in the mud, each moment tests the team. Cousin Michael is doing his best to keep everything on track, but the job takes a toll as he juggles drills, wet patches, and a high-stakes race to beat the weather. And when it’s time for a daring mud rescue, our Fendt 1165 steps up to save the day! As we work to complete the last of the drilling, you’ll see the dedication, teamwork, and pure grit that keep us going when things get tough. We’re giving it all we’ve got—rain, mud, and last-minute surprises included! Don’t miss out on this packed video as we bring in the heavy machinery, battle the elements, and share some laughs along the way.

New Slug Pelleter & Big Drilling Push While James Takes Off to Dubai!

With James off to Dubai, the pressure is on to keep things moving at the farm. In this video, we bring all of the drills back to Cambridgeshire and get straight to work on drilling the wheat. A break in the weather is upon us, and we plan to capitalize on it by making as much progress as possible while we can. However, black grass continues to pose challenges and slow down the drilling process. We also have a new addition to the farm—a recently acquired slug pelleter—which we’re eager to put through its paces in the coming days. Plus, the new shed is steadily growing and taking shape, ready to house our machinery. As always, we share some interesting farm moments, including a fun bet between James and Tom, Pete's unusual requests, and even discovering Pete's secret hiding spot. Don’t miss out on this week's behind-the-scenes action as we navigate wet fields, tackle equipment challenges, and push through the October drilling season without James on-site.

Re-Drilling Barley? Did We Make a Big Mistake?!

Re-Drilling Barley? Did We Make a Big Mistake?!

In this week's video, we’re facing a major dilemma. Our barley crop isn't looking good, and we need to decide whether to re-drill after some thin patches and black grass issues have surfaced. Join us as we take a closer look at the field and weigh our options to avoid further losses. With the bean drilling finally wrapped up, James considers the possibility of adding even more to the ground as the rainy weather continues to disrupt our plans. Meanwhile, the new machinery shed is being assembled, and its sheer size is starting to sink in for James. Flynn makes a return to the farm, we give our combine a thorough clean-down, and James is excited to try out his brand-new brush. We also appoint Sandy as our new Head of Purchasing?, and the "Toy Shed" is growing rapidly, hinting at exciting things to come. Stay tuned for all the ups and downs, plus answers to some of your burning questions in the final segment. The farm is always full of surprises, and this week is no different as we tackle tough decisions, gear up for future challenges, and try to keep everything on track despite the weather.

Battling the Rain: £4.25 Million Wheat Crop at Risk!

It's been another challenging week on the farm as relentless rain threatens to derail our drilling season, putting us at risk of losing upwards of £4.25 million if we can't get the wheat in the ground. We push the drills to their limits through the muddy fields, racing against time and weather to secure our future harvest. We also take you behind the scenes at Chandlers to search for a new Honda quad bike, comparing the TRX 420 and TRX 520 models to find the right fit for our farm. Meanwhile, James shares his thoughts on the Ineos Grenadier and his latest fashion choice—his trusty head torch!

Truck Crash, Unimog Breakdown & Weather Woes

In this video, it's one setback after another as we tackle the chaos on the farm. A lorry crashes into one of our gates, causing significant damage and an unexpected repair job. Meanwhile, our trusty Mercedes Unimog breaks down yet again, forcing us to recover it from the roadside and delaying our already tight spraying schedule. The weather refuses to cooperate, with wet patches in the fields making progress slow and frustrating. However, we finally manage to start drilling the wheat – though it doesn’t go exactly as planned. Join us as we battle the elements, breakdowns, and unexpected obstacles!

Drilling Through the Rain, Big G’s Massive Feast & Borrowing Our Agronomist!

The battle against the weather continues as we push forward with wet weather drilling in Lincolnshire. With a short break in the rain, we borrow our agronomist to hop on a drill and help keep the momentum going. A trip to Halfords is needed to get the quad back up and running so we can continue slug pelleting, and we share some laughs as the boys recount a night out in Lincolnshire, where Big G took on a mountain of food at dinner.

Racing Against Time: 4 Drills in Action and a Close Call with Disaster!

Racing Against Time: 4 Drills in Action and a Close Call with Disaster!

After weeks of rain halting our progress, we’ve finally got all four drills running in Lincolnshire! But with unpredictable weather on the horizon, we’re racing against time to catch up and get back on track. The straw still hasn’t been removed from the fields, which is turning the ground into a swamp, causing serious issues with the machinery. We also demo the brand new Padagas sweeper to help keep the yard clean as we prepare for the winter months ahead. Things take a dangerous turn when we head to Bedfordshire to collect a trailer of seed, only to have a bank collapse under the weight of the load, nearly rolling the trailer! It’s a close call that could have been disastrous. Back in Lincolnshire, we check out the black grass that’s made an unwanted return and update you on our progress with the toy shed construction. Plus, Freddie is back, bringing some excitement, and we take you through an unexpected crazy car wash! As always, we wrap things up by answering your questions from the previous videos. This episode is packed with challenges, near misses, and a whole lot of determination as we push forward despite the obstacles.
