HARVEST BBC 2

I have been totally engrossed in watching this series this week. It is so informative and satisfying to see the various Harvests this Autumn.
Last program tomorrow night on BBC 2 at 9pm .If you get a chance to watch, or catch up on iplayer, I recommend it to you,

I've just watched it. Now I'm saving up for a combined harvester.

 

It's an incredible piece of kit isn't it Clue. A private plane might come out less expensive.

 

I watched last nights ,will catch up on I-player.... a great series....

 

I am still mindful of the suicide rate for farmers though Armandii - it's pretty high,

It's a good programe but it didn't show all what go's on, the grain testers have a hard life and you have to be a strong and thick skined person to do that job

 

You can rent one for your harvest, and the trator and trailor

 

I have seen two of the Harvest 2013 programmes both incredible . What a difficult job farming is ! The veggie farmer in Lincolnshire and the Essex grain farmer , both extremely professional farmers. Have I missed any of these programmes ?
PS I really want a go at that combine harvester

 

I have them recorded, I will probably watch them over the weekend, as nothing on tv over the weekend is worth watching.

 

The whole surply chain is difficult job, Lots of money can be lost down the chain, surply and demand

 

Nah. Combine = £500,000 ... whereas the Gulfstream G650 is US$ 65m

 

No Harry, only 2 so far and the last one (fruit) is tonight at 9pm,
Jenny

 

I have watched the first one and wish I had one of them greenhouses that the tomatoes are grown in

 

I haven't seen the programmes but can verify that harvest time is very hard work, long hours when the weather permits. As a teenager I used to work on my mates farm, driving a tractor and trailer, harrow, sciffle, roller and generally making a nuisance of myself.
