Descripción

This week we film through the hottest day of the year so far, taking a closer look at how the heat is affecting crop progress and what it could mean for the profitability of farming this season. We check in on the wheat and barley as conditions continue to dry out, discuss whether it’s simply too hot to concrete effectively, and explain the long-term thinking behind continued investment in infrastructure around the farm. Alongside the crop updates, there’s ongoing work repairing broken corners around the yard, dealing with bank holiday fly tipping, seeding grassed areas and moving machinery with the low loader. We also take a look inside a classic 1980s Mercedes and continue improvements to one of the farm houses. A real snapshot of farming during a hot, dry spell where every weather change can have a major impact on the season ahead.

The Trailer of Dreams Is Finally Ready for Cereals, and a Leap of Faith in France

After months of work, the Trailer of Dreams is finally coming together ahead of Cereals 2026. In this episode we get inside for the full transformation, from the bar and seating area to the merchandise space and the wrap, as the team work flat out to get it show ready and onto a very muddy site in time. We also reveal what we will have on the stand, including the notebooks, pens, bags, tops and a limited run of sunglasses, plus free beer on the RAGT stand. To mark a milestone fiftieth birthday, we also head to mid-west France to see friends Joe and Rob, who sold up in the UK and bought 270 hectares to start again from scratch. We tour the farm, talk through the beef and sheep enterprise and the honest reality of moving the whole family abroad, and get into the surprising reasons it can be easier to farm in France than at home. From honest farming conversations to the build-up to the biggest show of the year, this is another look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.

episode Why We Switched to Super Singles, A Deep Dive Into Big Ag Tyres With Goodyear Titan artwork

Why We Switched to Super Singles, A Deep Dive Into Big Ag Tyres With Goodyear Titan

When you are putting big horsepower to the ground, the tyres matter more than most people realise. In this episode we sit down with Scott Sloan, who has flown in from the USA, to take a proper look at the 1100 super singles on our Fendt and why we moved away from duals. We cover compaction, flotation, VF technology and the real cost of getting your tyre pressures wrong, with some yield numbers that genuinely surprised us. Scott also walks us through how to read the stampings on a tyre, the story behind Goodyear and Titan, and a real-world case study from a grower in Illinois who paid for a full set of tyres in a single season just by switching off his row crop duals. Elsewhere on the farm, the Trailer of Dreams is being wrapped and finished ahead of Cereals 2026, and we get our first look at the P.X Lager, brewed from our own barley and ready to pour on the stand. With the weather finally turning and the crops ear filling, we also take a moment to look at how the season is shaping up before harvest.

episode Night Spraying in the Heat, One Year On With Our 48m Horsch Sprayers artwork

Night Spraying in the Heat, One Year On With Our 48m Horsch Sprayers

With temperatures rising, we switch to night spraying to give our crops the best possible conditions while making the most of every spraying opportunity. In this episode we prepare the sprayers, explain exactly what products are going into the tank, and head out into the oats after dark. One year on from taking delivery of our 48-metre Horsch sprayers, we also look back at how they’ve performed, what we’ve learned, and whether we’d make the same decision again. Elsewhere on the farm, work continues on the Trailer of Dreams as it gets wrapped ahead of Cereals 2026, more concrete is poured around the yard, potato boxes arrive ready for the party, and the never-ending list of jobs continues. From machinery reviews to real-world crop protection, this is another honest look behind the scenes of a modern farming business. 💬 If you were buying a new sprayer tomorrow, would you choose 36m or 48m?

Can We Finish the Trailer of Dreams Before Cereals 2026?

The countdown to Cereals 2026 is officially on, and progress continues on the long-awaited Trailer of Dreams as we push to have it ready in time. This week we continue improving the yard infrastructure, concreting cracks, digging out more broken concrete and laying a brand-new track. We also spend time hand roguing blackgrass patches, discuss the role of solar panels around the farm and continue spraying late into the evening as workloads increase. Most importantly, we check in on the latest progress of the Trailer of Dreams, with the pressure beginning to build ahead of Cereals 2026. A real snapshot of the constant balancing act between infrastructure projects, crop management and preparing for one of the biggest agricultural events of the year.
