Get Your Tickets - https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/products/range-rover-raffle-ticketThis is the moment we have been building towards all season. Harvest 2026 is finally here, and the combines are rolling into the barley. In this episode we take the first samples of the year, sweat on the moisture and the all important bushel weight, and find out whether the crops are going to be as kind as we hoped after such a difficult dry run.With four combines, chaser bins and lorries all coming to life at once, we also meet this year's harvest team, a brilliant international crew from Ireland, New Zealand and Australia, and explain the system that keeps it all running smoothly. Behind the scenes there is a new grain testing machine to speed up the weighbridge, the new fertiliser store taking its first tanks, and the small army of jobs it takes to get day one right.It is not all work. James is raffling his beloved green Range Rover, the swimming pool is finally being filled ready for the harvest party, and the famous harvest meal rota is revealed. We finish with the latest grain prices and an honest look at where the market sits as the first loads come in.From the first cut to the team behind it, this is another look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/Chapters:0:00 Intro0:31 Testing the first combine1:17 The team and the plan for the day3:01 Pairing up the chaser bin teams4:11 Final combine checks6:01 Mowing the way in and GPS codes9:34 Betting on the first sample11:36 The first result is in13:04 A new £13,000 grain testing machine15:28 Raffling the Range Rover17:05 Treating the grain store19:38 Why day one matters most21:15 The plow restored and ready23:43 A 50th birthday combine painting24:36 Meet the harvest team29:03 Filling the pool with a bowser33:23 The fertiliser store takes its first tanks37:15 The first loads come off the field39:16 The pool party and harvest meals44:42 Ready for the off, and grain pricesP.X.
