This week we visited Ian Childe Agricultural Services. Olivia got talking to Ian about his Bunning muck spreaders and we find out what tractor shade of green he prefers in his fleet.

This week we called out to Philip Trim Contractors. He got talking to Olivia about the liquid waste services they offer and we got to see their Claas Xerion 3800 and 4000 in action in the field!

We called out to North Farm Horton, and with the weather on our side, got stuck into some groundwork. Peter talked us through the Fendt 943 twin track and the John Deere 9RX. He also talked us through how controlled traffic farming aids in farming efficiency.

We called out to J Wilson Agricultural Contractors. Ryan got talking to us about the all Claas contracting fleet and how they're tackling slurry this year.

We headed to Baronscourt Estate to meet the guys from R J Woodland Services. David talked to us about the harvesting process. In Castlederg Ross explains the important role of forestry within Agriculture.

As FebuDAIRY draws to a close, we called out to Killen's Farm to see the dairy side of their business! Olivia got chatting to Gordy about how they run the farm alongside the contracting, and how milkings have improved since installing the 36-unit rapid-exit parlour.

It's slurry season and we headed out on a job with R&G McKnight. Gary had a catch up with Blake in the Puma on the new Redrock tanker. But what else has Blake been up to??
