Pod stick used but nothing would stand what we had
Wheat and Spring barley shredded and neighbours beans and sugar beet snapped off

I think a lot of non farming people that have watched Clarkson’s Farm now have a much bigger understanding of the trials and tribulations we encounter.
I’ve had lots saying to me, they never realised it really was such a tight margin, or had no idea the weather had such a bearing on farming, and even, I’ll never complain again about being stuck behind a tractor when I’m going home after work on a Friday afternoon at 4.30!
It’s definitely got a message across in one series that Country File never has in all the years it’s been on.
Well done Jeremy.

I very rarely watch country file. I started to feel it was anti farming.

Not looking forward to the wheat as all the top of the ears seems damaged and fit and the bottom still green
