£22K Rubber Rings - How farmers stay afloat on wet fields
Kent arable farmer Andy Crow is one of the many UK farmers battling ...
Kent arable farmer Andy Crow is one of the many UK farmers battling against our record breaking wet weather. He has a 48 hour window of opportunity to get out ...on his fields in his Fendt tractor and catch up on his jobs. He's already a month behind on his fertilising and as he says, his crops are "running out of grub and getting wet feet."
The equipment he's using is state-of-the-art and ensures the fertiliser only goes where the spreader hasn't yet touch - and his super expensive floatation tyres are designed to keep him from getting stuck in all that soggy soil - These are specialist bits of rubber and cost £22K+ for a set of tyres and wheels.

Harvesting a crop is one thing - storing it is another. Farm manager Andy Crow is cutting the last of his wheat around the field margins, but some is green ...and unripe. The moisture it contains has the potential to generate heat because of microbial activity and if the conditions are right, it could start smouldering and even set the stored grain alight.
Andy shows us what he does to make sure that doesn't happen - He needs to dry the crop using a drying floor and a powerful fan that blows air through channels under the floor.[+] Show More
