The Hottest Day of the Year… What Does It Mean for Farming Profitability?

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.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/Chapters:0:00 Intro2:56 Wheat Progress5:04 Too Hot To Concrete?7:17 Rationale Behind Concrete Investment12:26 More Broken Corners14:55 Bank Holiday Fly Tipping16:40 Grass Seeding20:16 Inside an 80's Mercedes22:14 Low Loader27:36 Barley Progress28:14 Re Rendering A House31:21 OutroP.X.
