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.”

In this exciting video, we welcome the newest powerhouse to the farm—James has officially purchased a Fendt 1167, making it the largest tractor on the farm! While we gear up for the future, it’s time to say goodbye to the CAT 865C after 14 incredible seasons of hard work. We dive into the start of oat drilling across Cambridgeshire as harvest officially wraps up, with all the straw baled and prepped for delivery to power stations. Michael stops by with expert agronomy advice to ensure James is set up for success, and the team begins transferring all the GPS systems into the Fendt 1167 so Glynn can get straight to drilling. Don't miss out on this exciting farm update as we look toward the future with new tech and bid farewell to a workhorse that's been with us for years.

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!

Missing Parts, Challenger Chaos and Broken Hilux

In this video, we’re gearing up for a big push in Lincolnshire! Watch as we tackle endless repairs, from the CAT Challenger to the Terrano, and deal with yet another round of missing parts. Cousin Michael drops by for a visit, and Glynn pulls an all-nighter to keep the cultivations on track. We dive into the hidden dangers of straw bale stacks with a stack of ours collapsing across the field. We face ongoing challenges with our CAT equipment from missing parts to missing gears. Plus, see the progress on the toy shed as construction continues while the weather is on our side. The grain store are continuing to work hard cleaning all of our farm-safe seed before we crack on with the drilling season once the cultivations are complete.

Car Crash Chaos, New Crawler Debate and Drilling Preparations

Car Crash Chaos, New Crawler Debate and Drilling Preparations

In today’s video, James gives us a closer look at our trusty Horsch Joker, highlighting its key features and performance on the farm. Glynn, still impressed by the Fendt 1167, teams up with Sandy to make a strong case for investing in a new Crawler, citing the significant improvements in power and fuel efficiency. But will James be convinced? With hedge cutting season upon us, we kick off the trimming in collaboration with our contractors, ensuring the hedges remain a safe haven for nesting birds. Meanwhile, a mishap with UK Power Networks leaves us with a dangerous pole base in the ground, posing a risk to our operations. James takes on some repairs to get our weather station back online, crucial for monitoring conditions as we head into the busy season. There’s no shortage of surprises this week! One of our staff members gets recognized at a nightclub thanks to our YouTube presence, and Pete the gardener files a formal complaint, urgently requesting a new green wheelbarrow to match his style! Plus, our Hilux gets tangled up with some baling twine, leading to an unexpected repair job. We’re also preparing for the upcoming drilling season, ensuring all tools, including the seed trailer, are ready to roll. But it's not all smooth sailing—a car crashes into our subsoiler on the road, tearing a massive hole through the vehicle. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but it’s a stark reminder of the dangers we face in farming. Join us for a jam-packed episode full of farm life, equipment debates, unexpected challenges, and the ever-entertaining behind-the-scenes moments that keep us going!

James Goes Shopping & Fendt 1167 Test Drive! New Gear, Equipment Woes & Harvest Students Farewell

Glynn, our dedicated ploughman, finally gets behind the wheel of the Fendt 1167 and instantly falls in love with its performance! Meanwhile, James has been on a shopping spree, adding a new Horsch Terrano to our lineup to help us catch up with the cultivations and get ready for the next big push. It's also a bittersweet moment on the farm as we say goodbye to our harvest students, who are off on their next adventures. But the work doesn't stop! With our Fendt crawlers finally fixed, new problems have cropped up with the Fendt tractors, and with parts stuck in France, it's becoming a major headache. The Mercedes Unimog remains down with an ECU fault, adding to the ongoing equipment challenges. Sandy steps in on Glynn’s Challenger to help with mole draining, but the tight land is causing heavy wear and tear, forcing us to replace parts more frequently than planned. The good news? Work is progressing on our new barn to house all the machinery while the weather holds up, and we’ve started processing and bagging our farm-safe seed in preparation for the imminent drilling campaign. Join us for a jam-packed episode of P.X Farms, filled with demos, breakdowns, and a relentless pursuit to keep everything moving forward! As always James will answer some of your questions at the end of the video.

Broken Down Challengers, Backlogged Beans & Cultivation Rush

Broken Down Challengers, Backlogged Beans & Cultivation Rush

We’re tackling a series of challenges and gearing up for the next big push! We start by demoing the powerful Fendt 1167 Vario MT, which arrives just in time as one of our Challengers breaks down yet again. It’s a race against the clock to keep our equipment running smoothly as we fight to stay on track with cultivations. The Unimog is also giving us headaches with a flat battery and a host of electrical faults, so we set to work on recharging it to get everything back up and running. Meanwhile, with the bank holiday causing port closures, we’ve got a backlog of beans piling up in the yard, adding to the pressure. We also face a new logistical challenge as our hired Vaderstaad press needs to be returned, but it’s too tall for the low loader. With the clock ticking, we’re behind on cultivations and pushing hard to catch up so we can get next year’s crop drilled in time. And as we wrap up the harvest season, it’s time to clean down the combines and tuck them away for the winter.

Harvest 2024 is Complete!

The 2024 harvest is officially in the books! After 44 intense days, we've successfully combined over 12,000 acres of crops across our farms. This season has been a monumental effort from across the business. In total we have transported over 27,000 tonnes of crops off the fields. This year marked the debut of our new combines, which performed exceptionally well. But as one chapter closes, another begins. With the harvest behind us, it's time to start planning for next year's crops and get back into the fields for cultivation. Drone shots from the incredible @Tractorspotter In this video, we'll reflect on the highs and lows of this harvest season, discuss what crops we should drill for next year, and dive straight into the next phase of farm work.
