It Might Be Too Windy For This Job

My name is Crawford and I’m a farmer.

Being a farmer is more than a job; it’s a way of life. The good days can involve bringing new life onto the farm or sunny days outdoors whilst on others it's dealing with machinery breakdowns and on the worst days, sometimes animal deaths.

Farming can be isolating at times – away from the busy streets and city life – so this platform brings you closer to the inner workings showing the highs and lows and everything in between.

I hope to bring some context to how the food ends up on your plate, from your Sunday roasts to morning porridge and even the tulips on your kitchen table. Hopefully a bit of agricultural education along the way.

This video captures the latest goings on including crop management and our efforts to increase sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.

My dad would have agreed with you about having a bedder, but once he got one he did say one good thing was keeping down beside the trough clean was a bonus

Take the wire out of the wire feeder on your welder before trying to remove it.
Baxter looks a happy chappy.

I've already been through the claim process for sampling I did last year. The 1/5th is slightly misleading in that it is only used to calculate your annual allowance for claiming sampling. You can do more than 1/5th of your ground if you want at a lower no of samples/ha and as long as its within your annual allowance, you can claim it all back.

Baxter looked really happy about carbon audits. 😆

Great video Crawford Baxter is getting big you have some fine cattle

[iaingibbs]

That's not a bad idea because at least then you will know where you stand with everything you need like line fertilisers and and anything else that you put on Does that tell you if the cow manure is working as well then

Far better getting in beside coos so they know you its amazing how over time some of them become so easy going its like oh hello its just you not so handy when you look round and find their not so friendly m8 has crept up behind you then its like oh 💩

Do you intend to asphalt the lane in front of the wood hopper sometime to dump chips right there for an easier shovelling into the hopper? Or simply not worth the effort.

Great analogy, some hur will say its racist but it's true though 👍

[johnarnell]

You hit 13k followers so I've opened a beer.

[andrewtanner]
