This Farming Life

It’s a big year as Nick prepares to take over the family farm from dad Derek. Jo and Andy await the fate of their swamped crops, and Paul and Mel trade farm tools for fish and chips.

A chasm appears in Andy and Jo’s 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.

The Imries wrestle stubborn pigs, while it's Nick’s easycare sheep versus dad’s trad breeds. On Papa Westray, Paul's ram has had a secret rendezvous with two ewes.

John and Antoinette have their hands full, as Ben’s had to take a full-time job. The Morrises have a very difficult lambing, and Sally gets some long awaited news.

With no hospital on Papay, Mel must have her baby on mainland Orkney. Nick and Derek fight to keep a calf alive and a nursery group get a lambing surprise at the Imrie family farm.

In the midst of lambing, Sally's son William gets chicken pox. Storms cause a lambing nightmare for Nick and his easy-care sheep. Jo and Andy must dig up precious wheat fields.
