This Farming Life

This Farming Life has probably achieved more in the first few series to promote the work, triumphs and struggles of farmers than the BBC's Countryfile has achieved in 30 years. Each episode is told sympathetically and highlights the struggles that farmers face in 21st century Scotland. The show does not shy away from unpopular topics such as the choice farms must make over the life and death of their animals and having to sacrifice unproductive stock. Each episode is skillfully put together showing the work that these people do and the choices and decisions they have to make. The output is enjoyable (if hard at times) to watch and makes me much more appreciative of the hard work these people do.
