1
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,480
Now that we were heading
into high summer,
2
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,760
it was time
for one of the most enjoyable jobs
3
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,680
on the farming calendar:
4
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,800
putting the cows back in the fields
5
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,400
after their winter confinement
in the shed.
6
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,200
Right, so we get four
in the trailer and off to Cow Ground.
7
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,160
Yep.
8
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,240
Open that gate up.
9
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,000
I like working with you now.
10
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,000
What, you didn't used to?
No.
11
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,960
Go on then, cows. Good cows.
12
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,120
- Go on. Yes.
Get on.
13
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,880
Go on.
There we go.
14
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,160
Go on.
15
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:16,680
Right.
16
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,800
Are you gonna go on your own
and I'll get the next four in?
17
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:24,520
This is
one of my favourite days,
18
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,560
releasing the cows into the fields,
19
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,960
because they're so happy after... What?
20
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,680
Five, six months
being locked up in the barn?
21
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,040
They suddenly have the freedom,
all that grass.
22
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,480
And it's like: "Oh, I remember."
23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,080
I arrived at the cow field,
24
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,000
remembering well
the last time we did this.
25
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,600
Look at them! Excited cows!
26
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Free!
27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Hey.
28
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,760
- So happy!
29
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,120
"I'm free and out!"
30
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,680
And he released the raptors.
31
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,200
Wait.
32
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,320
There. You're free. Now go.
33
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,960
Is that it?
34
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,560
Come on! Where's all the running around?
35
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,040
You're supposed
to dance around and be happy.
36
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,080
You ungrateful bastards.
37
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,360
After that letdown,
I went to inspect my Space Penises,
38
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,840
fully expecting some more disappointment.
39
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:47,960
Right.
40
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,000
I'm rather optimistically
going to bring...
41
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,360
One crate? Two crates.
42
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,960
Two crates for my mushrooms.
43
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,040
I'll get into my Darth Vader outfit.
44
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,120
My rubber gloves on.
45
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,320
Yay! Holy Moly!
46
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,720
Look at those.
47
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,000
And those!
48
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,280
This is amazing.
49
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,760
Look at these beauties. Look at this.
50
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,280
This could work.
This could actually work.
51
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,200
So what you do to pick them,
52
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,920
it's a twisting,
strangling motion like...
53
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,520
That's not quite right.
54
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,880
God!
I'm having mushrooms on toast tonight.
55
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,960
Having boxed up the mushrooms,
56
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,000
I high-tailed it over to the farm shop
57
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,080
before it opened for business.
58
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,040
Lisa?
Yeah.
59
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,280
- I've got good news.
Yeah?
60
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,160
Wow! They're beautiful.
61
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,240
- They are, aren't they?
- What are they?
62
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,880
- Grey oyster mushrooms.
- Oh, my God.
63
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,120
I've made a thing for them.
64
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,360
- So we're selling them by the punnet.
- Yeah.
65
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,200
How much do you reckon for a punnet?
66
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,440
I say £3, £3,50.
- Yeah.
67
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,800
We then went
to show them to Scott,
68
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,080
the chef in the shop's burger van.
69
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,800
- Wow.
- Aren't they beautiful?
70
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,640
These are all grown up at the...
Yes.
71
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,880
We're growing these. We're gonna have
a regular supply of mushrooms.
72
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,160
We can do mushrooms on toast
or something in the mornings.
73
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,160
- Yeah, mushrooms on toast.
Yeah! Amazing.
74
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,160
Everybody wants
mushrooms on toast.
75
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,360
We can make mushroom ketchup if you get
to the end and you've got loads left.
76
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,880
Ooh!
- Nice!
77
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:31,800
- Yeah?
- Mushroom soup?
78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,240
Yeah. Whatever you like.
79
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,760
- Vegan burger.
- Yeah!
80
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,800
- Finally we get... Oh, it's not vegan.
Shit.
81
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,240
What have you done?
82
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,120
What's wrong, love?
83
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,360
Oh no. What's wrong?
84
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,000
Are you all right?
85
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,640
Are you crying or laughing?
86
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,800
We've won the appeal.
87
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,320
Shut up!
88
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,920
No way!
- Ah, nice!
89
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,320
Oh, my God!
90
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,200
We've won the appeal!
91
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,040
- Oh wow!
What happened? Tell me!
92
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,720
- Stop the lights.
- I'm reading it.
93
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Well done, guys.
94
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,760
- Oh, my God!
Oh, God.
95
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,240
I've been so worried.
96
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,160
- It's a hell of a long document but...
- Bloody hell. That's juicy.
97
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Point 41:
98
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,680
"I shall for the purposes
of clarity and understanding,"
99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,680
this is the planning inspector,
100
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,320
"correct the allegation
to a change of use to a mixed use
101
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,120
comprising agriculture, café,
102
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,320
restaurant, farm shop, parking
and lavatory facilities."
103
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,000
- He's given us the whole shebang?
Blimey!
104
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,600
- The whole lot.
Yes!
105
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,520
It seems we aren't... That's gone.
106
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,160
We aren't allowed
to have a restaurant there.
107
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,080
- But we can have this here.
Amazing.
108
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,960
And we can make that a café in there.
109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:46,960
This is very--
110
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,760
This is the biggest "fuck you"
to the council I've ever...
111
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:55,240
Oh, my God! I've been so worried.
112
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,720
That is amazing.
113
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,480
But it's also common sense.
114
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,120
- Well, of course it's common sense!
- I know.
115
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:01,640
The council didn't have any,
and there's an inspector...
116
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Do you think the council will appeal?
117
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,400
- I don't think the council will appeal.
- And spend everyone else's money?
118
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,480
This inspector's taken...
How long? Four months?
119
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,600
I don't think he's going
to have made a mistake, is he?
120
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,720
Basically, we're safe.
And it seems to be for three years.
121
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,240
We're good to go for three years.
122
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,160
- We're back in business.
The shop can do anything.
123
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,200
- Fuck!
124
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Lisa decided to celebrate
this victory over the council
125
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,560
by inviting all her thin,
blonde Oxfordshire friends over
126
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,120
for a spot of goat yoga.
127
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,480
Squeeze and retract
the shoulder blades to open up the chest.
128
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,840
Into your Warrior 3 position.
129
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,920
Keep the hips square,
shoulders square, core on.
130
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,160
And then press...
131
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,000
I'm sure
this was all very modern
132
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,560
but I hadn't bought the goats
to be used as wellness props.
133
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,880
I'd bought them
to lay waste to my brambles,
134
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,840
something they could hopefully
start doing now they had a campsite.
135
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,600
However, we could only move them up there
136
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,640
if they were big enough.
137
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,120
Right.
138
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
- Do you know what we're doing?
- We've gotta weigh them.
139
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,080
- And then, if it's underweight...
- Yeah?
140
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,800
That's less than 17 kilograms,
we spray it red.
141
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,000
- Not the whole thing.
- 17 kilos?
142
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,120
- Yeah.
- Wow.
143
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,800
And then if it's ready to go outside,
it's green.
144
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,080
We're hoping they're all green because
Lizzie's coming to take the milk machine.
145
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,160
They're on solids now, aren't they?
146
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,560
- How do we get them into the harness?
Here, look.
147
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,840
You know how you get into it.
148
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,800
Right. Okay. Let's take a fatty.
149
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
- Don't! Stop eating my jeans.
Quick.
150
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,760
- Uh-uh-uh. Stop it. No.
151
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:51,960
Ow!
152
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Stop it!
153
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,120
- Okay. That is 96.
154
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,640
You didn't... Well, 96 what?
155
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:00,640
Pounds?
156
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,080
Kilograms.
157
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,120
It's not 96 kilograms.
That's heavier than me.
158
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,880
Right. Green.
159
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,800
No, don't let go until we've sprayed.
160
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,400
No, just spray. It's all right.
161
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,840
No, don't let go! Bring it back
or else we're gonna lose it.
162
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,240
Wait, I'm just... Oh, my God.
We're gonna be here for days.
163
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,760
Stop it.
164
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,240
- No, you've gotta get it in the middle.
- It's heavy enough, I can tell you.
165
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,880
This one's just coughed
and been sick all over me.
166
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,120
Get off. Get off!
167
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,600
This one is 16
with two back legs on the floor.
168
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,520
Well, that's not accurate.
- That is definitely over 17.
169
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,480
In the middle
of this festival of incompetence...
170
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,720
Come on, man.
171
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,480
Lizzie,
the goat expert, arrived.
172
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,880
Hi, Lizzie.
173
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,000
What are you doing?
174
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,080
Weighing them.
175
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,760
How's that going?
176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,640
- Not very well.
- No! You surprise me.
177
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,080
What did we say? 18 point...?
But we haven't marked it.
178
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:57,640
I have.
- Oh, you have?
179
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,160
Yes.
- Is there an easier way of doing it?
180
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,240
Yeah. I can definitely think of one.
181
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,440
Like, use the scales.
That would be my recommendation.
182
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,760
How do you make a goat
stand on a weigh scale?
183
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,280
Just, he'll stand there. It'll be fine.
184
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,840
So in fact,
that's plugged into the mains, yeah?
185
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,160
Yeah. We're all good.
186
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,520
If you stand by the screen
when I put him on.
187
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,520
It should give you a weight.
188
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,640
- Oh, yeah. 19.46.
- There you go.
189
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,880
So how...
Ow! That really hurt.
190
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,000
You're getting weighed next
for being a horrible goat.
191
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,880
Christ Al-bloody-mighty.
This is a porker.
192
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,480
Wow. 28.66.
193
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,200
- Oh!
194
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,200
- Next time, if you put your hand not...
- Yes, I've got that wrong.
195
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,320
23.92.
196
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,200
So you have grown good,
solid, healthy goats!
197
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,720
- So we're happy?
- We're very happy.
198
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,640
You've done a very good job.
199
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,200
All of these boys
are certainly over seventeen.
200
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,520
- And very ready to go out.
- Ready to go out.
201
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,480
Right.
202
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,880
Before moving the goats
to their campsite,
203
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,160
there was something
I needed to clear up with Lizzie.
204
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,520
What's this I heard about...
Well, I was reading in my book,
205
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,720
that if they escape then they're...
206
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,760
- That would... Yeah, like...
Get off.
207
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,760
- If you get the...
Stop it.
208
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,760
If you get the fencing wrong,
it's carnage,
209
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,520
because you'll never keep them in,
like, ever.
210
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,040
Once they learn... They're so clever.
211
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,400
If they start escaping, that's it.
212
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,080
Fuck me!
213
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,480
- I think it's trying to.
Jesus Christ!
214
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,840
Right.
215
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,480
Sorry, what were you saying
about the fencing being catastrophic?
216
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,200
It could be catastrophic
if you don't get it right.
217
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,160
So... Ow!
218
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,760
- Do you want a lunch box?
Yeah!
219
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,520
I need a cricket... They know.
- You need a cricket box. They do know.
220
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,400
It's because I cut their balls off.
That really hurts.
221
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:57,360
- Don't do that again.
222
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,200
Do not. Don't do that again.
223
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:00,600
Get off!
224
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,640
- They used to be so sweet.
They were so small and cute.
225
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,320
And now they're just
eating things.
226
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,640
- But if one does keep getting out...
Yeah.
227
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,600
Best will in the world,
what damage is it going to do?
228
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,160
Apart from kicking people in the nuts.
229
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,480
So we had one really bad group
years and years ago
230
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,240
and they went for all our sapling trees.
231
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,600
they went through two fields
to get to the sapling trees.
232
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,080
They could go onto the road
and cause an accident.
233
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,280
Or your chillies.
234
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,360
- I don't know how many they'd eat...
- They wouldn't.
235
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,200
They would certainly go through
your polytunnel.
236
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,440
Horns in a polytunnel
wouldn't be a good mix.
237
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,440
So, really, we've gotta be very careful.
238
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,240
You really, really do, yeah.
239
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,800
Can you imagine--
- Look at Joe. He's in real trouble.
240
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:42,480
Here's our decoy here.
- Help!
241
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,160
It likes you a lot.
Literally nothing's sacred.
242
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,480
Ow!
243
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,680
We then showed Lizzie
the field where the goats would live.
244
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,880
If I leave this alone for much
longer, it will all just be bramble.
245
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,880
Yeah. They'll take the worst
of the brambles out.
246
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:05,680
And at every opportunity,
she came back to the topic
247
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,400
of their escaping skills.
248
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:10,680
And do they need things
to climb on?
249
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,920
We don't give them stuff outside because
they roll them into the electric fence
250
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,760
- and then use that as an escape.
- No!
251
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,080
No!
- Yes.
252
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,040
What? Like Stalag Luft III?
- Yeah, honestly. Like that.
253
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,920
Well, so rewind.
254
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,760
If we put their sort of wooden toys
they've got in their barn now
255
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,000
and put them in here,
they'll use them as a launching pad?
256
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,920
Yeah. We found that
with the big sort of oil barrels?
257
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,400
They roll them up into the fence
to short it out or use them to hop over.
258
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:37,560
That's so cool.
No!
259
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,360
They'll definitely be up
on that pig hut
260
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:44,640
and over that fence, like, within hours
if they had access to it.
261
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,200
Jesus.
Clever, right?
262
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,760
They're very intelligent.
Do not underestimate them.
263
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,120
While we were wondering
if a goat
264
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,440
could jump a fence on a motorcycle,
265
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,160
Kaleb and Charlie
were having a much grander day
266
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,680
in London.
267
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,440
They'd been invited to Downing Street
268
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,480
to talk to the Prime Minister
269
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:13,520
about his
"Back British Farm to Fork" initiative.
270
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,600
And given the importance of the meeting,
they met in a café
271
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,880
for a pre-match chat.
272
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,800
So today?
Yeah?
273
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,280
- Quite a lot of people going.
- Quite big?
274
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Jeremy told me to say...
He said: "Kaleb, erm,
275
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,120
if you want any talking points,
276
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,600
just tell Ricky that he's probably not
going to be Prime Minister anymore."
277
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:32,560
Rishi.
278
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,720
Rishi.
279
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,760
The president.
The prime minister, sorry.
280
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,720
Yes,
that'll be a great place to start.
281
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,960
I would definitely go:
"Oi. Hello, Mr President.
282
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,240
- How are you, Ricky?"
-"Come and see me on the weekend".
283
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,560
"You won't be Prime Minister for long."
284
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,360
So what are you gonna talk about?
285
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,960
- What's your focus?
I'll do it on young farmers.
286
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,280
- Good.
- Young people getting into farming.
287
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,800
You can't go
and farm your own farm nowadays.
288
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,160
A, they're so expensive.
And B, everything's in a scheme.
289
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,080
- I got a quote for a tractor yesterday.
- Yeah.
290
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,320
After discount, it's £205,000.
291
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,080
I know. It's insane.
292
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,960
- Oh, Christ. We'd better go.
- Hm?
293
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,320
We're gonna be late.
294
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,640
Trafalgar Square.
295
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,320
I drove through here!
Yeah.
296
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,480
I didn't put my indicator on
in this junction here.
297
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,880
- Really?
- Yeah.
298
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:21,960
There's Nelson, look.
299
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Who's Nelson?
- He was an admiral.
300
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,920
He's up quite high up.
- He won a battle.
301
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,000
- Do you know what he's looking at?
- What?
302
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,760
You see where those flags are?
- Yeah.
303
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,520
That's Admiralty Arch.
304
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:34,600
- OK?
Right.
305
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,120
He's looking
on the top of the arch.
306
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,720
There are loads of ships.
307
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,840
- And he's looking at that.
- He led the Battle of Trafalgar.
308
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,080
All that concrete to build a man
that's looking over some...
309
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,120
"I Heart London." Fuck that.
310
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,560
Press the button.
311
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,520
You press the button.
312
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,920
Where are we going?
We're going down Whitehall.
313
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,760
What is that?
314
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,560
It's a...
Now what?
315
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,120
It's a very... Just keep going.
316
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,120
So here we are. This is Whitehall,
this is where it all happens.
317
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,000
What happens?
318
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,680
The management of the country!
319
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,600
There you go. Cabinet offices.
320
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,040
What's that?
- You know what the Cabinet is?
321
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,160
No.
- They're the more senior ministers.
322
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,000
And they all work in there,
do they?
323
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,040
I don't know what time it is.
What time is it?
324
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,760
9:11.
325
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,440
Oh, we're a bit early.
326
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:28,760
We'll hang around.
327
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,160
Morning.
328
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,920
Morning.
329
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,520
Morning.
330
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,680
Are you now just gonna try and get
331
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,280
- people to say "good morning"?
- Yeah.
332
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,680
Morning.
333
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,360
- They'll think you're a fruitcake.
- I'm just saying "morning"!
334
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,320
They-- They don't wanna talk.
335
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,120
Soon it was time for them
to head for that famous black door.
336
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,280
Ready? We gotta knock?
337
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,440
Yeah.
338
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,200
- Christ, all right.
You might need to do it again.
339
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,480
What, knock?
340
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,320
If you want to step in.
Okay.
341
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,400
Hi, guys. You all right?
How're you doing?
342
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,600
Just a hint.
343
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,400
If you knock that loud again,
I'll throw you out.
344
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,640
Say that again?
345
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,920
Don't knock so loud.
Sorry, we're farmers.
346
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,400
I don't care.
Okay.
347
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,000
I'm not.
Okay.
348
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,720
That told us.
349
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,240
While Kaleb and Charlie
were being told off
350
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,720
by the Downing Street door police...
351
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,480
Come on, goats.
Let's get you in.
352
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,360
Lisa and I
were finally moving the goats
353
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,320
into their new home.
354
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,040
So the idea is...
This is their training garden.
355
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,200
Yep.
And they live in here
356
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,360
until they've really eaten
all the dock leaves and what have you.
357
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,600
- Okay.
- Then you move them down.
358
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,560
And the idea is that their mouths get,
359
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,640
you know, used to...
360
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,120
Hardened.
- Yes, exactly.
361
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,800
- Oh!
- And they get hard mouths.
362
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,240
But then,
363
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,320
you see the bramble bushes, which is
what I want them to start eating.
364
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,520
Yes.
- So when they start hitting brambles,
365
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,240
that's going to be interesting for me.
That's what I want them to eat.
366
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,160
Before all that, though,
367
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,320
we had to go through
the unpleasant but necessary business
368
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,160
of getting them used
to the electric fencing.
369
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,720
Out you come.
They are coming out!
370
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,080
- So the white fence is gentle power.
Yes.
371
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,640
And the orange fence
is the national grid.
372
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,320
Oh, look: "I'm plotting...
I've got an escape route here."
373
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,680
"Hey, guys. Follow me."
374
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,560
"I reckon we could be over in a jiffy."
375
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,800
Whoa! Was that a zap?
376
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,200
Oh no.
They're eating the gate posts.
377
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,400
"Okay, I'm not eating
the gate posts anymore!"
378
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,080
Sorry.
379
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,800
Bah!
380
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,080
It's not funny.
381
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,880
- No, it's really mild. And look...
- It's not funny.
382
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,760
I shouldn't laugh.
383
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,320
I'm not amused.
I don't like to see animals in pain.
384
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,320
But they do have to learn.
385
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,320
And quite quickly,
386
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,400
they got the message.
387
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,080
Well, look at them all now,
in the middle.
388
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,640
Yeah.
- Their escape plans are in tatters
389
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,040
because of my security.
390
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:30,720
Eat.
391
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,800
Get your mouths hardened
and then you can go and eat brambles.
392
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,280
Back at Number 10,
393
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,400
Charlie was taking part
in a highbrow think-tank discussion.
394
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,320
But you went through
the list of grants there?
395
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,560
Hmm.
396
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,080
- And you haven't listed them all?
No.
397
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,960
- And all the schemes?
No.
398
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,240
You do need a PhD now
in grant applications if you're a farmer.
399
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,640
Meanwhile, out in the garden,
400
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,920
President Ricky
was in full schmooze mode.
401
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,680
How are you? Rishi, very nice to see you.
402
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,880
So what are you guys...
Is this all from the farm?
403
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,200
Yeah, from the farms.
We've got a Fenland Flag sausage.
404
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,760
And then we've got our traditional
butcher's sausage, our Great Bramblebee.
405
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,320
- Yeah? That's...
- And then some bacon going as well.
406
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,440
Oh, my God! It's been smelling.
We were having Cabinet up there.
407
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,440
Literally, that's the Cabinet room there.
408
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,480
And everyone was just distracted
and smelling your stuff coming through.
409
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,440
It's great!
410
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,800
- Look at this.
411
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,880
Then,
in the actual Cabinet office...
412
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:29,880
How are you?
413
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,400
Kaleb got to meet
the Prime Minister.
414
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,320
Thanks for coming. Kaleb! How are you?
415
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,000
This was his big moment
416
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,560
to talk about
attracting youngsters into farming.
417
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,080
- Are you okay?
- I'm very well, thanks.
418
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,320
- You've got lovely hair.
- Er, me?
419
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,160
- Had you heard otherwise?
- No, no, no.
420
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,480
- It was just a general comment.
- I just like hair.
421
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,320
When the conversation
moved outside,
422
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,240
Kaleb finally did talk
about young farmers.
423
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,640
The thing is in my head...
424
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,200
But he made a bit of a meal
about getting to the point.
425
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,920
You know, farming's not a job.
It's a way of life.
426
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,800
That is it. There's no other
option there. It's a way of life.
427
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,200
You don't get up and go:
"I've gotta go to work today."
428
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,320
I never ever wake up and go:
429
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,800
"I've really gotta work,
I've got an 8 to 5 job.
430
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,080
I can't wait to finish."
431
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,440
Halfway through the day, you go:
"Oh, I wanna go home."
432
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,960
I never do that. I wake up and go:
"Right, what am I doing today?"
433
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,080
Yesterday... The day before, sorry.
I was out there milking cows...
434
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,160
Then I went out there
and started mowing for silage.
435
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,080
And then I was spraying.
No day is the same.
436
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,280
- Everyone should have a dream.
- That's true.
437
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,040
A dream is somewhere to go
and to get to.
438
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,000
As soon as you accomplish that dream,
if you do it in 2, 3 or 5 years,
439
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,760
you've done it, set another dream.
440
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,480
And the thing I say all the time is
dreams don't work unless you do...
441
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,560
While Kaleb was bringing
the country to a grinding halt,
442
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,080
Lisa and I had gone up
to the mushroom bunker
443
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,880
to see if any more had fruited.
444
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,760
Oh shit.
445
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,000
- Oh, my God.
Have they not grown?
446
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,200
Oh, my God.
What's wrong?
447
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,720
What the...?
448
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,480
Look!
How many have we got? Thousands!
449
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,200
Oh, my God. So those are those.
450
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,320
It's incredible.
451
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,520
Oh, my God.
452
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,080
Wow.
Jesus.
453
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,560
These are ready.
454
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,160
They're very ready.
455
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,400
Right.
456
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,440
- 24 hours ago, that didn't exist.
I know.
457
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,520
Where does the matter come from
that's made it?
458
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,240
In 24 hours?
459
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,520
Look at it.
460
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,200
You need
to get selling mushrooms.
461
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,080
What's more,
the extraordinary lion's mane mushrooms
462
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,080
had started to appear.
463
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,520
Oh wow!
- It's like a sponge
464
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,720
that's mated with a cauliflower.
465
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,400
And that's a mushroom.
466
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,240
The man said that he reckons
that they're space penises.
467
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,600
That does look like it's from space.
That really does.
468
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,200
There was no way
we could fit even a tenth of this lot
469
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,200
into the farm shop.
470
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,040
So I had to abandon my plans for the day
471
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,840
and man a hastily erected mushroom stall.
472
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:24,120
Can I interest you
in the new Diddly Squat range?
473
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,360
Grey oyster mushrooms. These are not
like you get at the supermarket.
474
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,480
Or lion's mane mushrooms.
475
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,800
May I have some of both?
- Yes, of course.
476
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,360
That's 427 grams.
477
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:42,080
- That would be £12,81.
Okay.
478
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,040
Ooh!
479
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,280
Just out of curiosity...
480
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,400
Are you selling Space Penises?
481
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,760
Up in Piggy Wood,
it had now been 11 weeks
482
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,920
since Ajax the boar had done...
483
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,600
boar things with the sows.
484
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,520
These are the four in question,
485
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,200
- hopefully pregnant.
- Yeah, yeah.
486
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,560
So a local pig expert
had come round to scan them.
487
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,480
And the news was good.
488
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,320
They're all pregnant.
489
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,360
- They're all pregnant?
- All up the duff?
490
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,440
So we don't have to sell them.
If they hadn't have been up the duff,
491
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,040
they're just eating food for no reason
and they'd have to be bacon.
492
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,800
- Gerald!
Hello, Jeremy.
493
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,560
Hello, Gerald! Hello, hello!
Ooh, sorry.
494
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,680
You all right?
- Yeah.
495
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,440
Lovely piggies.
496
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,680
- Aren't they great?
- Yeah.
497
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,440
You ever kept pigs?
498
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,440
- No, this is the mothers.
- Yeah.
499
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,120
I've heard stories about sows and boars.
They can be nasty, can't they?
500
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,640
What can?
501
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,120
Sows and... When they got below
the right stuff with the combine
502
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,840
then you...
When they got things coming out the side.
503
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,840
Gerald?
- Yes, my love.
504
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,800
When you planted all these trees,
was it 60 years ago or so?
505
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,080
- You planted these trees?
- Yeah.
506
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,280
- 60 years ago.
- No way!
507
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,240
Yeah.
508
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,880
This was all...
509
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,800
All the way up there.
510
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,400
They grazed right to the...
These were all... And all that.
511
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,080
So these trees are younger than you?
512
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,040
Yeah.
513
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,920
- This is Gerald's wood.
514
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,280
You used to get the old shovel like that.
515
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,040
- Wow, Gerald.
- And then,
516
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,920
drop the thing and then heel 'em in.
517
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,480
I went round with the...
518
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,880
Bend it with a pole
with all the fluid in there.
519
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,040
As the years went on, like,
520
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,480
there was all those Wellingtonias,
all that.
521
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,560
They were original wood, they were.
522
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,920
- All right.
523
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:53,200
At least once a fortnight,
524
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:56,680
got the...
525
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,080
Stinging nettles.
526
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,120
Similar to that, it was.
527
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,840
That's when bosses were bosses
and you didn't say no to 'em.
528
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,320
- Yeah.
529
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,680
I'm really chuffed.
I did not know that you'd done this.
530
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,320
That's brilliant.
531
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,360
So it shall become known--
We shall rename it Gerald's Wood.
532
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,200
We used to fill it up right
in a little...
533
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,440
We were now well into June,
534
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,240
and life on the farm
was a smorgasbord of busyness.
535
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,920
Up in a field called Downs Ground,
536
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,560
I took part
in my first ever grass harvest.
537
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,400
This involved wrapping bales of grass
in plastic sheeting,
538
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,360
which we'd feed to the cows
in the winter.
539
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,240
So we're collecting silage, yes?
540
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,200
Silage,
541
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,200
is grass that has been put
in a bag which is wet
542
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,440
and it's gonna ferment with all the
sugars that naturally come off the grass,
543
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,360
which is good for the cows
with high sugar content.
544
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,600
Kaleb was still annoyed
that when my pigs had been in this field,
545
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,520
they'd made a bit of a mess of it.
546
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,720
Why have we got "Jeremy Keep Out"?
547
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,800
'Cause you keep fucking up this field.
548
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,560
But nevertheless, it looked
like we were getting a good crop.
549
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,920
I quite like being a grass farmer.
550
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,840
It's quite sort of mathematical
and pleasing.
551
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,040
You think: "I've done that right."
552
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,880
It's like you know when you mow your lawn
and you don't have to go over
553
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,720
a bit you've already done?
554
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,120
I wonder if he mows his lawns.
555
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:54,120
All done.
556
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,200
As soon
as the grass harvest was finished...
557
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,160
So we need to have a look
at the fertiliser spreader.
558
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,000
It was time
for the annual Red Tractor inspection,
559
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,520
where we have to prove
the farm is clean and well run.
560
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,800
Yeah.
That's fine. That's fine.
561
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,400
And given that Kaleb
was now farm manager...
562
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,680
One, six, six, eight, zero.
563
00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:17,000
Eight, zero.
564
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,520
Things this time round
were very unstressful.
565
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:23,440
The NSF record book.
That's great.
566
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,520
It's all here.
567
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,360
You've got your First Aid box
up here, which is great.
568
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,400
Correct signage.
569
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:30,840
Yeah.
Lovely.
570
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,240
Sand bucket there.
That's great.
571
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:33,640
- How are you doing?
- Morning.
572
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,520
You and mushrooms!
573
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,840
Everywhere,
he just appears with mushrooms!
574
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,120
I just live underground now.
575
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,480
Yep,
no matter how busy Kaleb was...
576
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,760
The mushrooms were keeping me busier.
577
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,600
So this is the Forth Road Bridge
I've created
578
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,160
because all day
I've been selling mushrooms, constantly,
579
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,160
and we still have this many,
580
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,240
and tomorrow morning,
there'll be this many again,
581
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,920
and the next day, and the next day.
582
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,240
In fact, I had so many mushrooms
583
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,160
that besides selling them
in the shop and the burger van...
584
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,160
I was now hawking them round local pubs,
585
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,960
and even rival farm shops.
586
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,680
I had some last night.
587
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,840
- I cannot tell you how good they are.
Yeah.
588
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,400
I mean, I cooked some last night.
They're amazing.
589
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,320
Jesus. I had these last night.
They're fantastic.
590
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,560
Even though
my incredibly varied sales patter
591
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,200
was shifting some decent quantities...
592
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,560
Five. We'll have 5 kilos.
593
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,920
1.2.
594
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,360
6.1 kilos.
595
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,200
I was still
barely scratching the surface.
596
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,000
For fuck's sake...
597
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,040
However, there was still time
amongst all the madness
598
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,960
to pause for the occasional treat.
599
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,840
I've got a big surprise for you.
600
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,480
Is it a proposal?
601
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,120
Every time you say you've got a surprise,
I'm like: he's gonna propose!
602
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,200
- Every time!
603
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,440
Remember the tree fell down?
604
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,360
- The big beautiful one?
We put it back up again.
605
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,400
Come and have a look.
606
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,440
Look at that.
607
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,880
That's the tree we put back up.
608
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,560
Wow.
609
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,600
I'm so happy.
Yeah!
610
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,960
'Cause it had been down for 6 months.
611
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,160
And it's alive!
612
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,160
But do you know what's weird?
613
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,360
Is that the little branches are growing
from absolutely everywhere.
614
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:04,880
I know. It's incredible.
615
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,160
That is what's called
"bursting" back into life, isn't it?
616
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,240
It sure is. Yeah.
617
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:10,760
Well done. That's really nice.
618
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:11,920
- I'm really happy with that.
- Yeah.
619
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,960
I'll think about the proposal, okay?
I'm not ready yet.
620
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,480
However,
Mother Nature's ability to mend itself
621
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,480
isn't always a source of joy.
622
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,960
Sometimes, it can be downright annoying.
623
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,960
A point brought into sharp focus...
624
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,520
Oh, Christ Almighty.
625
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,640
...when Kaleb and I
decided to resume work on the dam.
626
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:38,960
I mean, is this...
627
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,080
We just can't get to it anymore.
628
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,640
We're gonna have to come
with a chainsaw and cut all this back.
629
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,360
When were we last here?
630
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,720
It wasn't that long ago.
631
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,800
And now a jungle has happened.
632
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,400
Happily, though, this meant
I had an excuse to fire up WALL-E...
633
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,360
My most favourite machine in the world.
634
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,160
Oh! I'm back.
635
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,160
The emotional support unit.
636
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,640
The machine of destruction.
637
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,280
Look at it.
638
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,080
Mincing.
639
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:26,960
Atomising.
640
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,320
- What is...?
- What? Chainsaw trousers.
641
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,200
- Are those just the front?
- Yeah.
642
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,520
So if you're through like this
and you hit yourself,
643
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,120
they hit this and it tangles it up
and stalls the engine.
644
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,400
It is "Brokeback".
645
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,400
What's that?
646
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,440
Yes! Good dogs. Good dogs.
647
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,360
Sit, sit.
648
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,960
Sit, sit.
649
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,880
Sit!
650
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,160
Sit, sit.
651
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,280
No, it's gone.
And that one's gone as well now.
652
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,840
Having cleared
a new path to the dam site,
653
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,960
we got into
a construction-worker state of mind
654
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,400
and moved onto the next job.
655
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,160
Lunch!
656
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,520
That looks better now, doesn't it?
657
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,240
I've had a thought.
658
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,960
Why are we using that tube
659
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,480
when we could use these sleepers instead?
660
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,160
I see. Just put
the sleepers across and then put the...
661
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,920
If we put the sleepers
across there... Do you see what I mean?
662
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We dig out a hole.
663
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,040
Put some posts in, like this is...
Exactly like behind of this.
664
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,000
Exactly.
665
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,440
Put some posts in. You slot one in,
then another, then another.
666
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,640
Then all you have to do,
with the clay, is back up the sleepers.
667
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,200
And then...
668
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,000
The water simply comes
over the top of the sleepers.
669
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:06,600
Why didn't we do that before?
670
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,000
I've just got it in my head.
We don't need a pipe, do we?
671
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,200
We'll take the pipe out the way then,
use it somewhere else.
672
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,880
- Take it back to the farm.
- We'll drive that back to the farm.
673
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,480
Unhook it.
674
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,160
- You know what I've just worked out?
What's that?
675
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:34,120
We are now exactly
back to where we began in January.
676
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,400
Pipe at the top of the field.
677
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,040
Nothing done down there.
678
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,160
We're never gonna finish
this fucking dam.
679
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,040
However,
now we had the sleeper plan in place,
680
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,280
I was much more optimistic that we would.
681
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,800
Pull it through.
Is that proud enough?
682
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,040
For the first time ever,
I want to leave
683
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,080
further ahead
than we were when we got here.
684
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:04,760
Having prepped the site
685
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,960
and rammed some supporting posts
into the mud,
686
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,440
it was time to place the sleepers.
687
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:13,760
- Ready?
- Go.
688
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,120
Right. Digger man.
689
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,920
Butt-crack alert!
Butt-crack alert!
690
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,440
- Warning, warning.
691
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,280
Down.
More revs.
692
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,360
Using the digger scoop,
693
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,000
I then pushed
the foundation sleeper firmly into place.
694
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,560
However...
695
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,160
It floats!
696
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,400
We hadn't thought of that,
had we?
697
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,960
I'll stand on it forever.
698
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,160
Did you not bring any nails then at all?
699
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,920
It's not... You'll never...
700
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,280
If you put a nail in
over the top of the sleeper,
701
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,600
you're creating a bigger crack,
the water will get through.
702
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,160
I just wanna put a nail there
so I can get off it and then pack it.
703
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,000
But when the next goes on top,
there'll be a gap between them.
704
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,160
We need some clamps.
705
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,840
- Something like clamps?
- Or we can just get a big screw.
706
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,760
- To go through a sodden railway sleeper?
- Yes.
707
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,360
We've gotta go to StowAg.
708
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,160
I'm not suggesting
we put another sleeper on
709
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,400
until that one
is securely fastened in place.
710
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:26,960
Look.
711
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,160
Why isn't that in a book somewhere
that wood floats?
712
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,760
Could you rest that on top?
- Can you stand on it then?
713
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,800
You got it?
There you go.
714
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,160
There we go.
715
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:41,560
Right.
716
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,840
Another afternoon's work.
717
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,680
And what we've done is...
718
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,440
Nothing of any great worth.
719
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,600
I'm not going to be defeated
by this dam though.
720
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:56,920
I'm just not.
721
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,600
It would, however, be a while
before I could get back to the dam
722
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,680
because, predictably,
there were more mushrooms to shift.
723
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,800
Shit!
724
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,960
However, Lisa had had a brainwave.
725
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,360
She reckoned that if we dried
the lion's mane mushrooms
726
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,680
in the Diddly Squat dehydration unit
727
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:26,160
and sold them as a powder,
she'd make more money than I was
728
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,680
selling them as actual mushrooms.
729
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,320
- You can sell a hundred grams for £3.
- Yeah.
730
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,600
- And they last five days?
Mm-hmm.
731
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,320
I can sell a hundred grams
732
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,760
for £30, and it lasts for a year.
733
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,160
So lion's mane... I went
into Chippy, to the health-food shop,
734
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,480
I asked them
how much they sell their lion's mane for.
735
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,480
And they say they get it in once a week
and it's sold out on the day it arrives.
736
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,400
Well, it says here:
737
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,360
"Lion's mane mushroom powder,
738
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:00,360
- 30 servings, for £40!"
Yes.
739
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,200
-£40!
Yes.
740
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,640
I put it in my coffee, and it's like
having spearmint through your head.
741
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,640
Your whole mind just opens up.
You're really clear-thinking.
742
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,320
The mornings I don't take it,
I notice the difference. It's amazing.
743
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,200
Hold on. It says here that it's good
744
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,280
- for your focus, memory and digestion.
- Yeah.
745
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,560
Right.
This is the nutrition values on it, yeah?
746
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,520
Yeah.
747
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,960
- Total fat: nought.
Excellent.
748
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,520
-nought.
- Excellent.
749
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,280
Total carbohydrate: nought.
750
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,840
Total sugars: nought.
Added sugars: nought.
751
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,200
nought. There's nothing in it.
752
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,400
Excellent.
753
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,960
How can it help your memory, focus
and digestion when it contains nothing?
754
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,320
The magic of mushrooms.
755
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,480
Yes, I know. But if you add butter,
there's a point to it.
756
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,200
How can people... Why?
757
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,400
Are you complaining
or are you growing mushrooms?
758
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,280
I'm going to struggle to say:
"Would you like to buy
759
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,320
this mushroom powder?"
"What's in it?" "Nothing."
760
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,040
- Whatever.
Honestly, Lisa.
761
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,640
Do your friends eat this shit?
762
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,880
Anyone who's everyone takes lion's mane.
763
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,880
I don't understand this at all.
764
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,040
Hello.
765
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,560
Hello, cheerful!
766
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,120
Welcome to a world
where Lisa is planning on selling
767
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,520
50 grams for £40.
768
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:21,480
Wow.
769
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,640
- What are you doing?
This is my little dehydrator.
770
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,560
Yeah?
- So this here was a full tray
771
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,280
and it goes down next to nothing.
Then I'll just blend it up,
772
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,680
stick it in little bags,
put a "best within 12 months"...
773
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,200
You're gonna sell powder in baggies
from a Range Rover?
774
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,680
So you... Okay.
775
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,480
How do you know it lasts a year?
776
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,160
Because once it's dried and powdered,
it has twelve months.
777
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,880
'Cause the stuff I buy is dried
and powdered and that's 12 months.
778
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,200
So how do you think that they know?
They've tested it.
779
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,840
- They've done their testing, yeah.
- They've done their testing.
780
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,560
And ours is even better
because it comes from down the road.
781
00:38:58,760 --> 00:38:59,760
No, no. They've done their testing.
782
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:02,600
- Uh-huh.
- So they've validated...
783
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,920
Yeah. Yeah.
- And verified the fact that...
784
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,840
Because dehydrating,
you're taking all the moisture out.
785
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,960
Yes.
786
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,600
- You remove the water content...
- Yes.
787
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,080
- So it doesn't grow...
- It doesn't grow mould...
788
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,280
- Bacteria.
- Exactly.
789
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,840
So you've done your Hazard Analysis
and Critical Control Point checks?
790
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,360
HACCP. It's basic food standards.
791
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,160
But no. No, no. This is from...
792
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,960
This is from farm to farm,
so you don't have to do that.
793
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,400
- Because... No, no, no.
794
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,120
That's if you're selling
to the wider market.
795
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,080
- Charlie, I am allowed
796
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,200
to grow tomatoes here
and sell them in the shop.
797
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,640
And you're allowed to do that
within a farm shop thingy.
798
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,280
- No.
- Once it's dried, it's dehydrated.
799
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,680
- There's nothing in it but powder.
But how do you know it's dry?
800
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,040
Because it'll go into a powder.
801
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,920
But after 3 weeks,
it might be full of mould.
802
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,160
You've sold it to somebody
and then it's mouldy.
803
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,160
So it didn't last a year,
it will have lasted 3 weeks...
804
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,120
Listen. Okay.
So what's your solution, Charlie?
805
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,640
Well, you'll have to test it. And then...
Whoa, whoa. No, test it.
806
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,640
There'll be a laboratory.
We'll find out who tests it.
807
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,080
Or we could just sell them as mushrooms.
808
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,400
No, that's a waste, though.
Lion's mane in your tea in the morning...
809
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,040
- But nobody wants that.
While we're doing...
810
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,840
How many men do that? None.
811
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,760
Not men that you know because
you were born two millenniums ago.
812
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,760
This millennium people,
they know all about it.
813
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,880
Okay, as a solution...
814
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,480
Why do you need to put a year on it?
815
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,880
- You just put six weeks, two months.
Okay.
816
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,160
- And that...
And that covers my arse?
817
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:28,680
Yeah.
- Okay.
818
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,560
But you'll have to test it for that long.
819
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:31,560
Okay.
820
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,000
Right. Okay. Onwards.
I shall go and flog 'em.
821
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,640
I might as well just keep on drying here, yeah?
822
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,160
Okay.
You need record what you're doing.
823
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,120
Okay.
824
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,960
"I have dried this
for two hours."
825
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,120
I do a video, yeah.
826
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,640
- Good.
I'm going to take videos.
827
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,600
Okay. So, first of all, video.
828
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,840
First of all, I washed the mushrooms...
No, I didn't.
829
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,320
First of all, I cut them off
at the base, then I washed them in...
830
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,520
There in a fridge, in a...
831
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,320
First of all, I cut the bottom off
and then I washed them.
832
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,800
And the whole kitchen has been,
erm, certified.
833
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,920
As we came to the end of June,
834
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,760
everything on the farm
was looking wonderful.
835
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,640
But, there was a big but,
836
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,640
because Charlie was not a happy man.
837
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,760
Put simply,
the weather had not been playing ball.
838
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,120
March had been the wettest for 40 years.
839
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,160
May had been freezing.
840
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,360
And June had been the hottest on record.
841
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,840
This looks a mess.
But why?
842
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,640
And already Charlie could see
the effects of all this turbulence
843
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,640
by examining
what remained of Kaleb's oilseed rape.
844
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,160
You know, it hasn't
pollinated brilliantly. It hasn't, erm...
845
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:00,920
We've got quite a few misses.
846
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,600
That's probably when it was cold
and miserable in April.
847
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:04,560
Yeah.
848
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,200
It hasn't thrived, has it?
No.
849
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,640
- So we're half a tonne an acre down.
- Yeah.
850
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,600
Across 25 acres. 12 tonnes.
851
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:15,800
Yeah.
852
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:17,600
£5,000.
853
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,320
That's a hit, isn't it?
854
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,400
It'll be a challenge in this crop
855
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:23,920
- to make a profit.
- Yeah.
856
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,040
And once
his happiness hoover was switched on,
857
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,560
he was sucking it up from everywhere.
858
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,800
But they're not animals
but they're definitely not plant...
859
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,120
- Oh, here we go.
Hello.
860
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,480
This is bound
to be good news, everybody.
861
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,200
Why've you brought me barley?
862
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,040
- So, I've just been for a crop walk.
- Yes.
863
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,640
The spring barley,
you know it went in a bit later.
864
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:50,680
Yeah.
865
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,400
It's now putting up
all these little shoots here, look.
866
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,880
Don't tell me
that's bad to have all...
867
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,400
Well, it might stuff your malting barley.
868
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,520
You might not be able
to make beer out of it.
869
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,920
Because you've got
these very early mature ones
870
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,880
and then there's still enough oomph
in the soil
871
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,640
to throw out these little tillers.
872
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,280
And those late maturing ones
will be a problem at harvest.
873
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,520
'Cause we're gonna have
some immature fat grains
874
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:20,680
- in with the mature grains.
- What--
875
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,080
You can't physically go
and take all these out.
876
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,560
- So, you know...
What do we do?
877
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,920
There's nothing we can do.
We just have to hope
878
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,280
that it's warm and dry,
and they mature at harvest.
879
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,040
Otherwise, there's no Hawkstone...
from here.
880
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,080
- Are you saying that this won't make...
- Well...
881
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:40,840
What weather do we need?
882
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,320
We just want not too hot,
so these don't mature too early.
883
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,840
Goldilocks temperature. Just right.
884
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,680
- Like today.
- Like today.
885
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,560
- Until...
- For the next six, eight weeks.
886
00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:52,520
Eight weeks.
887
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,560
If the weather plays ball,
we've got half a chance.
888
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,520
If it doesn't, I'm really worried.
889
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:00,240
Yeah, we know all about that.
890
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:01,440
Do you know about that?
891
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,040
We've got barley and we've got...
892
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,160
And how is your spring barley doing?
893
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:07,440
Seems to be okay I think.
894
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,680
Are you listening to this?
Their spring barley's all right.
895
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:10,680
Where are you?
896
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,160
- Market Harborough. Leicestershire.
- Leicestershire, yeah.
897
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,760
So what would you say about our spring?
898
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,800
The lower shoots are your problem.
899
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,720
The lower shoots are the problem.
Exactly.
900
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:22,200
Not what you want to be hearing.
901
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:23,200
No.
902
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:26,840
Shit...
903
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:30,920
Charlie's gloomy arable forecast
904
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,800
put something of a dampener
on proceedings
905
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,320
as the farm manager and I
met for a whiteboard catch-up.
906
00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:42,240
And found that Kaleb's outgoings
had now gone through
907
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,520
the £100,000 barrier.
908
00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:49,400
It's... it's scary.
909
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,640
We're having to spend 102,000
910
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,240
- and we can't control the outcome.
- Yeah.
911
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,640
Geopolitical events, weather.
912
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,960
- The price at the end of the day.
Yeah, exactly.
913
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,080
It's like going to a casino.
If it's a £2 minimum bet,
914
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,960
- you'll have a punt.
Yeah.
915
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,080
A fun night out with your friends.
If it's a £50,000 minimum bet,
916
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:10,680
- you're not gonna bet.
- No!
917
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,080
How much would we spend five years ago?
918
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:17,240
Probably half that, didn't we?
'Cause the fertiliser price has doubled.
919
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,560
78,000...
Can you imagine spending £78,000?
920
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:24,320
- On something you throw on the ground!
- Yeah!
921
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,160
You can't even measure its success.
922
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,920
I've got four tonnes left over, yeah?
Do you know why that is?
923
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,400
Because every time I come to the end
of the run, I've turned it off quicker.
924
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,280
Seed costs have gone up...
925
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,520
by 35%, 40%.
926
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,160
Chemicals probably...
You know, they've gone up.
927
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,640
I mean, for example, glyphosate
used to be £40 for a 20 litre can.
928
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,240
- Yeah.
-£162 now.
929
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,680
£162 for a 20 litre can of glyphosate.
930
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,800
- That's weed killer basically?
- Yes.
931
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,720
Christ. These figures are terrifying.
932
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:05,240
The only positive is that while
my side of the board was also in the red,
933
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:10,040
some of my schemes did look
like they'd soon be making a profit.
934
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,320
Honey, that...
935
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,400
- That will start coming back in again.
- A couple of weeks.
936
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,240
Er... Mushrooms...
937
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,360
Yeah.
- That could go green.
938
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,000
- Yeah.
Mustard, who knows?
939
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,320
- That should be good money.
It should go green.
940
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,720
Pigs are costing so much.
What's going on?
941
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,080
No, to be honest,
this is the total loss at the moment.
942
00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:32,320
But by the time
all those that we're selling are sold...
943
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,040
- Yeah.
- ...and sold through the shop...
944
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:36,760
We should.
- That should go green.
945
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,360
Hang on.
Why is Wildfarm on my side of the board?
946
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:41,920
Well, it's your field.
947
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,080
Yeah, but I thought
it was your experiment?
948
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:46,280
Yeah, on your field.
949
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,600
- How is it fair you make the decision...
- Yeah.
950
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,040
- And it's on my side?
- I know.
951
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,920
- It should be on your side.
- No.
952
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,480
I'm fucking crying!
953
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:08,840
What's going on?
954
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:10,320
Never...
955
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,800
With Kaleb's side of the board
looking so shaky,
956
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,600
it was vital
that my unfarmed project succeeded.
957
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,120
So we had to get a shift on,
958
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,440
making sure the shop and the burger van,
959
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,600
newly liberated
from their council shackles,
960
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,320
were ready and able
to deal with the summer-holiday tourists.
961
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,120
Check on, one burger, one bacon.
962
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:34,680
Thank you so much.
963
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,880
Go.
Measuring.
964
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,200
This meant getting cracking
with the car park.
965
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:41,720
What are we on now?
966
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,760
45. We'll go 68.
967
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,520
I didn't think
this would be difficult.
968
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:48,760
There.
969
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,200
Or expensive.
970
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:51,640
53 metres.
971
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,360
Or time consuming.
972
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:54,720
Right here.
973
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,760
But I was wrong.
974
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,640
Very wrong.
975
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,200
£80,000?
976
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:07,720
Why don't we do it?
977
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,320
We'll do it in two days.
- No.
