Chasm in the Wheat Field

Episode 2 of 12

A chasm appears in Andy and Jo鈥檚 wheat field, single mum Sally pregnancy-scans her ewes, while the Imrie family discuss an events business set-up to take pressure off the farm.

Jo and Andy must take stock of the rain damage to their wheat crop. A huge chasm has torn through one field and in another the seedlings are swamped in mud. They call in a grain specialist for some expert advice. Meanwhile one of their pedigree cattle goes into labour. It's touch and go as Andy helps deliver a calf that's in breech position.

Near Glasgow, John and Antoinette run a mixed livestock farm, but John badly needs a hip replacement and is struggling with the workload. Youngest son Ben wants to help but the farm can't afford to pay him full-time. Their six kids have come up with a plan to boost the farm's income by setting up an events business.

In Caithness, single mum Sally Crowe runs a croft with help from her 79-year-old dad Iain. It's one of the biggest days of the year as they find out how many lambs to expect in spring, on a small farm where every penny counts.
