The Last Generation to Farm?

On Your Farm

Available for over a year

For four generations, Tom Clarke’s family has farmed the Fenland soil. But after years of bad weather, changing policies and rising pressure on farming, the business is no longer making money. Tom has handed the day-to-day running to contractors for two years to give himself space to think - but the decision ahead is far from easy. Does he hold on to the land his family has worked for generations, or accept that it may be time for a different future? Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton
