    Inside a 1,100-Cow Australian Dairy Farm, How Aussie Farming Really Works

    James heads to Australia to visit a truly impressive dairy operation, where over 1,100 cows are milked every day. Hosted by Ed Cox at Waterhatch Dairy, this episode explores how large-scale Australian dairy farming works — from logistics and machinery to feed systems and long-term farm strategy.We look at how the farm manages its own haulage fleet, produces maize silage and hay at scale, and balances dairy and beef enterprises. There’s also discussion around growth hormones, genetics and productivity, alongside a rare look at calves being born and the realities of running a multi-generation dairy business.Beyond livestock, we explore the broader farming system — including direct drilling with Great Plains kit, Claas tractors, wind turbines and solar installations helping power the operation. We even catch up with a former P.X. harvest student now back farming his own farm in Australia.This is a fascinating comparison between UK and Australian agriculture, showing the scale, efficiency and challenges of dairy farming on the other side of the world.If you farm dairy — UK or overseas — we’d love to know: what surprised you most about Australian systems?For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/P.X.

    James In Australia, Steel Costs Soar, Business Rates Jump & Are Close Transfer Systems Worth It?

    With James away in Australia, Simon takes charge and walks us through what’s happening across the farm and this week, the focus turns to some serious business decisions.We take a detailed look at close transfer systems and how they could improve safety, efficiency and compliance within our spraying operation. From how they work, to the speed of transfer and the real-world costs involved, we break down whether the investment stacks up for a large-scale arable business.Alongside that, we discuss Simon’s latest investment, fabricate spare wheel brackets in the workshop, and ask the question, is steel getting more expensive again? With business rates rising by 25%, we also touch on what that means for the wider operation, while plans for Brazil begin to take shape.There’s even talk of an art studio at P.X. Farms… because no two weeks are ever the same.If you’re interested in the business side of farming, spraying technology, and how modern farms make investment decisions, this episode gives you a proper behind-the-scenes look.Let us know in the comments, would you invest in a close transfer system, and why?For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/P.X.

    Tom Lamb Joins Us on the Farm, Stock Takes, Shed Tours & Workshop Progress

    We’re joined by Tom Lamb for a proper walk around the farm as we catch up on what’s been happening behind the scenes, and it doesn’t take long before things go slightly off script.From Tom’s less-than-graceful moment early on, to checking whether Sandy has finally finished the stock take, this video is a mix of real farm progress, practical problem-solving and plenty of honest conversation. We look at workshop updates as the boardroom nears completion, fit new tyres to the forklift, and bring the F5 LUG back to life after more tinkering.There’s also a deep dive into tyre storage solutions, a look inside the mustard shed, and an update on the accommodation trailers - which appear to be developing a life of their own. We round things off with the plough freshly painted and ready for work as the farm continues to gear up for the season ahead.If you enjoy unscripted farm tours, practical fixes, and seeing how a large arable business really operates day-to-day, make sure you’re subscribe and let us know in the comments what you’d like to see more of next.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/P.X.

    Why Land Drainage Still Matters, Gearbox Swaps & The Bio Oil Heater Comes To Life

    It’s another full-on week behind the scenes at P.X. Farms as we juggle essential maintenance, upgrades and long-term planning across the business.We start by looking at why land drainage is still one of the most important investments on a modern farm, especially with increasingly unpredictable weather. Back in the yard, progress continues inside the boardroom as the new flooring goes down, while better systems are put in place for parts ordering to keep the workshop running efficiently.Our new bio oil boiler is now providing heat across the site, the slug pellet machine continues to test our patience, and the Hilux gets some long-overdue interior repairs. There’s also a big mechanical moment as a new gearbox arrives for the Fendt 942, the plough gets a fresh coat of paint, and preparations begin for fertiliser season with tankers heading out on hire.We also retrofit air brakes to the Fendt 1167, tackle a few workshop mysteries, and keep things honest with some classic farm humour along the way.As always, this is a real look at the decisions, repairs and upgrades that keep a large arable farm moving forward. Let us know in the comments what jobs you’d like us to dive deeper into next.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/P.X.

Stock taking continues, the boardroom renovation moves forward, the heater is finally commissioned, and the Hilux is back together. There’s welding to be done, steering rods replaced on the forklift, and even time to freshen up the lawnmower.We round things off with a grain price update, looking at where the market sits and what it means for the business right now.As always, let us know in the comments what you want to see more of, recoveries, workshop work, or the business side of farming.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/P.X.

Farms as we work through a full health and safety audit, place yet another bet between James and Gordon, and spend some much-needed time getting on top of jobs in the workshop.Big G has been flat-out, Sandy’s fixing radios, new forklift tyres arrive, and the plough heads off for shot blasting. There are still a few challenges along the way (including yet another issue with the F5 LUG), but for once there’s some genuine positivity as the workshop starts to feel like it’s moving in the right direction, helped by brand new heating going in.We finish the day washing lorries, getting kit ready, and starting preparations for an upcoming trip to Brazil, showing the behind-the-scenes reality of running a modern farming business.As always, let us know in the comments what you’d like to see more of, workshop rebuilds, machinery deep dives, or more of the day-to-day decisions that keep the farm moving.For those interested in our new merchandise: https://pxfarms.myshopify.com/P.X.
