The wheat Harry Metcalfe drilled a fortnight earlier is up. But checking the crop is only part of his new Harry's Farm upload: he also discusses an appearance before the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee and reviews a Zero XE electric farm bike.
That mix of parliamentary business and practical farming arrives as the channel adds nearly 200,000 views in a day, compared with its usual roughly 13,000. The upload, published on October 20, has itself drawn a substantial audience, though the daily rise covers the whole channel rather than this video alone.
For readers following Harry's autumn planting, the emerging wheat supplies the next chapter. His earlier videos asked whether growing another crop would be worthwhile, then showed the direct drill putting seed into the ground for the next harvest. The question has moved from whether to sow to how the crop is coming along.
The electric-bike review also fits a familiar Harry's Farm interest: machinery judged in a farming setting. His past uploads have examined Land Rover Defenders, hydrogen-powered JCB machinery, and the experience of living with solar panels and heat pumps.
Daily views across Harry's Farm have risen sharply above their usual pace. The new Commons, wheat and electric-bike upload sits alongside that channel-wide jump.
