Rich and famous and farming.

[Right-arm fast]

the beckhams must have some land somewhere. Terry Wogan RIP, had quite a bit of woodland I think.

Carl Rackemann (Australian cricketer) farms in In Queensland I think. Graeme Hick used to farm the family farm in Zimbabwe before they the locals thought they could do better. David Byas (Yorkshire cricket captain) has quite a large farm in Yorkshire iirc. They are probably not rich enough of famous enough for the thread though.

John Humphries now has a smallholding near here, @Forage Trader is nearer to him than us.

Really, where's that?

Robert Plant has a small hill farm near @GTB

Never met him myself but lots of people around here talk like they know him well.

Terry Wogan RIP, had quite a bit of woodland I think.

He owned some woods very near here at one point, never saw him though, and it's changed hands many times since then.

He suffered a stroke some years ago. His son posts on the arable and no till sections of this forum under @dontknowanything. His original posts were very informative and his tenure of ITV's Sunday programme "Farming Diary" from the late 70's or early 80's was good viewing

His son wrote a fascinating Nuffield scholarship report, really interesting

I hope you made good money of it. Was it an offer you couldn't refuse?

If my memory serves me correctly it is good land that she purchased,it was a few years ago .Is it now farmed ?

 

[icanshootwell]

Adam Henson does a bit of farming

He talks about it, not sure he does much himself, pays other people to do that.
They filmed on a goat farm down the road from me a few months ago, all day there messing about for 2 minutes on countryfile.

Well surprise surprise.
How much is charging for opening agri shows this year. His fame on the back of a BBC programme. Paid for by our licence fees.
