    I think it will be a big success. When you see how Tom p has developed his farm shop. They could add things on to it as they go on. It was only one of a few videos I have watched recently farming YouTube. Don’t have as much interest in them as before. Maybe it’s a seasonal thing.

    Never realised he was near anywhere like that. I'm sure he'll have a plan, but a tie in with someone like Linton Film Productions (or his local equivalent) to showcase their videos in the museum (selling videos/DVD's or whatever the strategy is nowadays in the shop) would be an idea.

    If anyone has ever been to W5 in Belfast - if he could get some interactive stuff in for kids it could be quite profitable. Kids don't like looking, they prefer doing.

    I'm guessing that the MF1200 will be pride of place?


    Just has to get local girl done well Maura Higgins to open it!

    Gerry6420 is something else on the loader. Seen him loading hay and thought I was impressed, but him pulling off the silage wrap as he was dropping the bale into the round feeder in one swift move, with the ease I take my socks off.

    The move to film instead of net, has stopped me doing something similar.

    In my opinion this is a bit tasteless from Evenflows Snapchat, tho that's him and he's well liked by others.

    Article in the Farming Independent this week featuring her. She mentioned a husband and building a house with him. She is an area manager for Lidl/Aldi. That’d be a tough gig so fair play to her. Mad for the work by the looks of it.

    I'd say Aldi/Lidl must be looking in and wondering how they give so much time off so a person can have another job. They usually work you to the bone.

    They'd give leeway too. Most places would and Aldi/Lidl I thought were fairly good employers

    Really good one from Mr. CVX; would've liked to have seen a bit more of the process but he was under serious pressure for time so understandable.

    I don't doubt they are good employers and I believe they pay well but I also believe you put in the hours.

    If you think working in Aldi or Lidl is being worked to the bone you’ve never worked in a busy meat factory. Aldi or Lidl is like being on your holidays in comparison.

    Jesus there are some creeps in the comments. I would prefer the “I would love to cum on your face “ comments to what she is getting which is the creepy “oh Karen you are amazing, you are doing great, you are so funny, that rainbow was so pretty, almost as pretty as you, god bless” from men three times her age I suspect .

    I predict an appearance on ear to the ground in the next 12 months. A joint piece on farm safety and women in farming. A decent story really.

    After complaining about American YouTubers I started watching some of just a few acres videos as recommended and would highly recommend and that’s lead me on to watching videos from tayfarms from Maine. Very interesting, cows around 15 years old, crazy way of milking but at least they’re outdoors a lot of the time. Love how well the YouTuber and her boss seem to work so well together, they do I think all their own field work and repairs. Tom p who I always see what his up to as used to love his videos, getting worse. Overly dramatic thumbnails about letting his cows graze a 7 acre field that’s just right for grazing he had intended for silage. Just needless misleading clickbait stuff to found his “small farm”

    Mostly 2 but if his unable to upload a video on his set days he’ll do a live feed that evening to keep the money rolling in, I mean his viewers happy lol. If you watch his early videos to what his putting out now, night and day. I’ve said before, the Irish YouTubers are miles ahead in the work their doing.

    Sandi Brock is tough viewing these days. Her daughter undergoing Chemo now. I was an occasional viewer, but still.

    I actually enjoy the US lads, they vary a lot in their content depending on the size of their setup.

    Sonne Farms - feedlot farming and lot of harvesting


    A few acres farm - excellent content for a small holding


    Our Wyoming Life - more out in the plains farming, enjoyable enough though


    10th Generation Dairyman - massive dairy setup, good enough content


    Saskdutch kid - similar content to the above but haven't watched in a while, based in Canada


    Tom Pemberton - his content I find is excellent, varies a lot. The money pumped in to it at moment is massive, don't know how he's doing it


    Farmer Phil - haven't watched in a while, similar stuff a lot. Difficult to vary it I know. Must start catching up a bit


    I Farm We Farm - follow this a lot, very enjoyable content


    I enjoy some wilderness youtubers who live very rural.

    Any more recommendations would be appreciated

    I started watching David Beattie from Cavan (Sheep School) after a recommendation here. He is a sheep farmer, well worth watching. We haven't kept sheep in 30 years but I enjoy his videos and the easy going way that he presents.

    Sometimes watch boehm farm. Small holding, old wrecks of machinery, something you wouldn't necessarily associate with USA

    I see they had a mobile abattoir on show at Groundswell in England this year.

    Bit more interest now in looking at on farm killing again.

    I think the point was made during a tour of it that it was movable but not very mobile. There's a fair bit of setup involved and you need facilities for lairaging the stock prior to slaughter, handling the offal/waste products ect.

    Processing cattle in that particular setup seemingly wasn't ideal and it was more geared towards sheep and pigs. That's not to say it couldn't be made to work but it would need to be more of a joint venture between a group to process volumes of stock at a time as opposed to working with individuals and small number's over a large area.

    Sad to see farmer Phil advertising gambling on his page. Those lucky day competitions or whatever they are. Scummy company and these you tubers are all greedy and will do anything for a few euro.
