First Time Farmers
Jenny and Lenny have put every penny of their life savings into a new Cumbrian farm at a time when agriculture is at a crossroads. With a young family to support, can they make it pay?
Jenny and Lenny have taken on their first rented farm set in the Howgill fells of Cumbria. They are sinking every penny of their life savings into the run-down farm at a time when agriculture is at a crossroads. Brexit means farmers have to adapt to new ways in agriculture, bringing financial uncertainty. With a young family to bring up, can they make it pay?
Jenny and Lenny battle old and unreliable machinery during a heatwave to bring in the hay, and send their prized lambs off to market in the hope of the farm turning a profit. In their own words, 'it鈥檚 a gamble'.
