I was looking forward to this series and it didn't disappoint.
While it contains the usual Clarkson ineptitude, it shows just how hard farmers have it.
The line 'most farmers don't have amazon or who wants to be a millionaire to fall back on' really rung true for me.
He shows just how weather dependent farming is and the fact that if its bad yields drop way off, if its bad at critical times yields suffer, if its bad during the growing season it affects yields.
I think in his Clarkson way he has really shown the importance of farming to the country and how much red tape farmers really have to go through. Just planting the vegetable patch in a spare field showed how many forms he had to fill in.
The supporting cast were great, even Gerald who we couldn't understand.
