But as a promising spring turns into a wet summer, Adam falls behind with his harvest and the year begins to look more grim.Adam inherited not just the farm from his father, Joe, but also his passion for farming. Imagination is essential for the farm’s survival and Adam has many an entertaining tale as he explores new sources of income. He explains his commitment to rescuing breeds from extinction, as well as the money-spinning work of hiring oxen out to film directors and training pigs to sit on Hollywood stars.Life on the land is unpredictable, emotional and varied, but never dull. Here, Adam shows us what a farmer’s life is really like.
