Politicians and weather...and the self righteous... Farmer's bane. Excellent program...

Greetings from Ireland. What a lovely programme thank you for sharing your life's story.

An excellent series of a farming life told with a hint of nostalgia but also with intelligence and for the time a very forward looking, balanced outlook which still resonates today. It would be fantastic if this could be followed up by a look at the state of farming in Britain today and the geopolitical situation.

Thanks so much for posting this incredibly interesting and informative series. It really helps to understand why all the changes have happened over the years. It ought to be released on mainstream TV to help educate moving forward sensitively to nature

This is so so true and the effects of it are to be seen today.

This is the best series I have ever seen wish this sound advice was adhered to by this ludicrous parliament today.

Fabulous, really enjoyed this, reminded me of my childhood as I was lucky enough to have been brought up on a farm in the 50s 60s which had one remaining heavy horse with all of the original tack
he remained on the farm in idyllic retirement

Best thing I have seen for a long time I bet the bbc would not play it now.

Dan, Tony’s son, has retired from farming but Dan’s son is farming it now

"A farmer can be rich, but then he is stopped!" A wise word and still actual in 2024 - even here in Holland - Thank you very much for this videos and glad to hear a grandson/son is still farming!

It's ridiculous that for half a century farmers have essentially been farming a subsidy.
