Managed to watch some of the first episode, all i can say is well done to Jeremy and his team, I think they have caught a really good angle of farming, nice to see a farming program on tv that is NOT leading with a anti farming agenda , cough cough country file.. just land, tackle and issues farmers face. Sometimes you have to see it from someone else's view to see how utterly complicated this business is and all the pressures it brings. I can see its all done with little a small ammount of toung cheek but the 7 days of rain during drilling - true, beetle - true, tractor breaking down - true and the raft of legislation true, all of which has never been covered other than country files half hearted "farmers are great BUT" stance.. TBH im a clarkson fan and im happy to say i think the show has surpassed what i thought it would be, nice to see an accountant and land agent laying it all. kind of the straight man, and the young lad comes across really well. I think my biggest take away is a sense of pride in being a farmer and not just a kicking object for modern media outlets.. Well done JC
