00:55do because when your youtube channel and your tick tock you've got how many thousand followers

01:00um so i think on tick tock we're about 65 000 and youtube at 30 000. and how did it all start

01:06um i mean it was probably about three and a half years ago something like that my friend had used

01:12the app to make a this is tick tock app to make a short video about his christmas tree and it sort of

01:18like flipped and it all looked really edited and fantastic i thought i want to have a little play on

01:23that so anyway i got the app downloaded it did some bits around the farm and people started watching

01:29it and i'm like well okay well we'll carry on with this and the next thing we've got a youtube channel

01:34and then just blew up and you basically every day you just talk to people about your life on the farm

01:41don't you yeah yeah where is your farm um so we're in south yorkshire in between barnesley and doncaster

01:47and yeah it's just anything that happens in the day goes into the video so the the start of the day

01:53is in the morning so i say morning to everybody at the start and that's become a catch for us

02:01so that's the start of every video that's the start of every video and it just goes on in time

02:05order through the day of whatever i'm doing so that could be feeding and bedding down the cows to um

02:12drilling being on the combine harvester um or being at an event like this today yeah different every

02:18day what is the attraction do you think why are people fascinated by simply watching your daily life

02:25i think there's been like a an increase in interest in farming um recently especially with the clarkson's

02:32farm coming out um i think the general public want to know about farming but there's a lot of people

02:36that have been in the industry and our fond memories have been in it and maybe left and so i get a lot

02:42of older viewers actually who watch the channel and um yeah it's like reminiscent of their past but

02:50they can see the the future that agriculture is i suppose you stride both worlds you're part of the

02:57tradition because your family are farmers aren't they but you're also looking ahead and one of the things

03:02you do is you're looking at all the new machinery and the new innovations that are coming along and

03:08telling us all about it that really excites me so um what i did about four or five years ago was my

03:14made my own tractor i didn't make the tractor but i made it steer itself made it made it steer itself

03:21with like um chinese parts there was like a land rover suspension sensor was part of it and then it was

03:26talking to the satellite and this other thing and um it did it so john deere and all the the the big

03:33manufacturers and do it but i'd got it with this open source piece of software and we managed to make

03:39this track to steer itself which was which was fantastic and i just thought the innovation in

03:45agriculture we need to get more young people who are excited about tech to come into agriculture yeah yeah

03:51and and i think sometimes it can feel like um being a being a farmer might be sort of the uh

04:00the the the thing to do if you didn't do very well at school right no it means for everybody yeah

04:05you've got to know your stuff now haven't you as well it's a different world and a lot of young
