When can I expect to watch this on putlockers?
I just watched the lot on there so now.
I know the show is built around his bumblefrick ways, and to some extent that’s also a character he does, but frick me if this show isn’t doing more general education about farming than regular media. They’re basically doing all angles from season to season, different animals, crops, side hustles, 1001 ways to get fricked by government local and national, it’s fantastic as a teaching aid.
They basically lay it out; you can’t produce optimized volume, but on the plus side you don’t pay for fertilizer, so it’s a numbers game.
But the underlying issue of soil depletion is something people aren’t taking seriously. You can’t constantly be thinking short term, especially when farming is already on a knife’s edge of existence. The covid shutdowns should have made this plain; if for any reason the tankers full of chemicals stop moving everyone is just completely fricked. From fertilizers to medicines, the just in time system has no margins.
“Sustainable farming” isn’t just some wonky green lunatic idea, it’s a defensive strategy.
I did some work with the Environment Agency recently and they showed us photos of the same field over 20 years, every year the topsoil got lower and lower, as in the actual height of the field dropped 2 metres. At some point there's nothing left to farm.
Who's to blame? I dont know. Obviously the farmer knew it wasn't sustainable. But you can't expect anyone else to know about this
> Who's to blame? I dont know.
I mean it’s not really a bad guy with a pitchfork anywhere it’s just bad incentives over time coupled with ignorance. Optimizing farming was a huge boon and predates the industrial revolution, and then obviously becomes mixed up with technological changes and chemistry advances. It happened because it was profitable, yields skyrocket. Then we’re into the 1900s mid century and small farming starts being outcompeted, bought out, monocultures become normalized, late 1900s into 2000s you start getting the incestuous ownership between seed crops and pesticides, farming equipment being more and more locked down, only works with certain brands of their own shit, basically trying to turn machinery and spraying into a single drm service.
Small farming next to nonexistent, can’t compete.
It all made sense along the way, and the end result is fricking terrible and will inevitably result in dead earth that can grow nothing. But people don’t know this. There’s no political will to change this. I think people have also bought i to the idea that we can kick the can down the road forever because technology managed to get us over a few previous humps like the Borlaug yield advancements. It’s this naive techno optimism devoid of any real facts, insisting shit will just magically spring into existence to save our ass because it did before.
Cargo cult basically.
I have heard many stories about how fertiliser has enabled mass agriculture, which in turn has supported the population boom around the world in the last 100 years. Not saying that was a bad thing, but possibly the world population should be levelling out now. Maybe the farming output is the single most important metric to judge it by. I don't know I'm drunk
Long term, chemical fertilizers are going to have to be replaced. Regenerative farming is a short term solution, but eventually we're just going to need new technologies that accomplish the same end on a bigger scale with fewer cons.
The smart money is on cold atmospheric plasma jets - they're already being deployed in other agricultural areas like produce sterilization and seed treatment, it's only a matter of time before someone figures out a cost-effective way to combine ionized air with water vapor irrigation systems.
I really don't care about this dude without the other two top gear guys
THIS
caleb and co are a poor substitution for hammod and may soul
goes to show how much they propped him up
Don't care about any of them but the farms good telly
I think it's interesting that they have gone into regenerative farming, the farm will be interesting to watch as it changes.
Farmers here swear by it, but if it takes off in the UK the place will look nothing like the beautiful patchwork it does now, it will go back to looking a bit messy.
It's funny how the series seems to be about the heat of 2022 because 2023 was a fricking tsunami.
Jesus, this season's depressing as frick:
Farmland's not doing well
The potatoes and the oil seed rape have both sailed
Farm shop is about to be closed down
Jeremy and Lisa spend an entire episode having piglets die
And there's four episodes yet to go.
hopefully there's a happy ending over the horizon, adversity and then serenity
You forgot
Gerald has fricking cancer
I haven't watched it yet. Is the British government trying even hard to rape British farmers?
Every government.
They summarised it quite well in episode 1 when they realised they are very dependent on energy prices.
If only there was a way to not have your own country's energy costs dependent on foreign affairs...
Don't be ridiculous... what, like we're going to discover some kind of magic rocks that can generate nearly limitless clean energy? Don't be absurd. It's coal and oil or nothing.
yup
*harder
Very sad. I wonder why do they that.
There are two kinds of people who go into government - genuinely decent human beings who want to make the world a better place, and corrupt, mean-spirited buttholes who love to rob and bully their own constituents.
The former don't generally last long.
I thought the issue with the countryside was that it’s mostly owned by defunct royals who are also conveniently on the top 100 richest people in the uk
>regenerative farming
What's the catch then eh?
I'll laugh my ass off if they end up fricking Jeremy over in the end.
lower yield but higher profit margins, better for the soil in the long run
So what's the catch?
lower yield
Yeah but higher profit margin apparently
>he had his pet cow killed
Lol
Yeah they're piling on the trauma this season
>It's the war in Ukraine
>I love israelites though
>This wasn't rehearsed
Cinemaphile needs to help him fight against this nanny state gone wild!
Just want to frick his girlfriend tbqh
The reason they have to sell that field to those guys is because no one else would accept a delivery of 2 crops mixed together.
They’re not going to sell it in a bunch you moron, it’ll be sifted. They have to sell it to those guys because they have made deals with other companies to sell the resulting product at a premium. The difficulty to overcome is that the inefficiencies in practice mean cost increases and smaller margins. You need to educate customers on why they should give a shit and pay more, and the best way to do that is to first convince bulk buyers like M&S to stock your products and represent them, rather than as a one man operation try to run around and personally try to sell your premium product to individual buyers.
There’s no real mystery here, it’s basic market operations.
