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.”

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.

240mm of Rain & Drilling Delays: Can We Catch Up?

It's been a challenging few weeks as 240mm of rain has completely halted our drilling progress in Bedford. With wet fields and time running out, we're switching to the wet weather drills, hoping for a break in the weather to make up for lost time. Will we avoid a repeat of last year's disastrous season? We also take a look at Adrian's house renovations, begin our mustard cleaning campaign, and update you on the toy shed, plus some Horsch modifications to keep us moving forward.

In this video, we take you on an exciting journey, following the oats grown on our fields through every step of their transformation into oat milk.

From the fields to the final product, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the entire farm-to-table process. As always, we share our insights, answer your questions, and highlight the sustainable practices that make this operation possible.

Join us as we tour the stunning wedding venue, explore the beautifully renovated main barn, and witness how Edward's agricultural roots blend seamlessly with modern business innovation. We get an up-close look at his straw power plant and how it works, turning leftover straw from the fields into renewable energy that heats all of his buildings.

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!
