The end of the main harvest is finally in sight. In this episode we push through the last of the wheat and turn to the spring oats, with the whole team hoping to wrap up the bulk of the year and earn a well deserved rest. We are joined by Tim, a Claas combine specialist who travels the world setting machines up, and he explains why this extraordinary dry season has our harvest feeling far more like Australia than England, and the counterintuitive way you have to set a combine to cope. Behind the combines the work goes on. We battle to cultivate rock hard, cracked ground that is proving even tougher than last year, deal with a dramatic chaser bin breakdown, and finally complete the new fertiliser store, with all twenty four tanks now in place after years in the planning. We also take a moment to remember three good people the farming world has lost recently, who meant a great deal to us. From an expert's eye on a strange season to the last big push of harvest, this is another honest look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.

Did you consider putting another tank in for diet coke ?
I always enjoy the in-cab sessions with Glyn. His explanation about why they encourage the weeds to chit was great.
It would be lovely to hear how cousin Michael is. I am sure I speak for all of your subscribers when I say we all miss him. Thanks.
Well done James I love the way you farm and the way you look after your staff great to see everyone happy
You have a good team because they have a good boss
Excellent coverage, James. Can I ask what may be a stupid question..... I understand the drive to get the ground turned over now that harvest has finished early. I also understand that it is an opportunity for the crop to get ahead and established before they are attacked . But given the extra wear and tear on your equipment tearing through rock hard soil, do you get enough return to cover this extra cost (both diesel and equipment)? Its not like you could actually put seed into the ground at the moment.
PX FARMS VERY PROFESSIONAL FARMER'S UP THE FARMERS 💯. 🤙🦊🇬🇧
Liked hearing field conditions from the driver. Top notch !
If you fill all those fertilizer tanks to the top there will be a world wide shortage of fertilizer🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A different challenge every year, keeps the videos exciting.
Nice brushwork and arris trowelled edges on the yard slabs gents - nice to see good work 🫡👌👍
I collected 30 pallets of porcelain flooring from Rand Brothers farm not far from you yesterday. I think there is someone else who loves putting up new buildings and laying lots of new concrete just like James 🤔😉
Great team work and a great Gaffer love PX Farms the size of the operation is staggering.
Great update James. See you made it into Farmers Weekly. Cheers for now.
My wife and I have to keep asking ourselves what day it is too, but that’s because we’ve just retired 😂😂😂😂
I miss cousin Michael, I hope he is okay.
