The Farmers' Country Showdown S07 E01-E05 (1280x720p HD, 50fps, soft Eng subs)

Series celebrating inspirational farming families and the rural events where they showcase their hard work, as they try to win the top prizes.

E01 Kilnsey Show
Busy tenant farming couple David and Charlotte rear their sheep and cattle in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales with help from their young, enthusiastic children and are so determined to build a secure future for the farm that they both hold down second jobs. With their finest sheep in tow, the family are pinning their hopes on winning at Kilnsey Show, and to up their chances, they’re entering 18 different classes. Meanwhile, near the North York Moors, father and daughter James and Hannah are pulling out all the stops with a photoshoot of their first-class flock, in the hope that they can hold onto their championship trophies at Kilnsey Show this year. Being Dales country, though, competition is extremely tough among the hundreds of sheep farmers being judged today.

E02 Lavenham Farmers' Market
New farmer Greg has spent the past two years transforming a derelict council plot into a fruit and veg haven. After missing the countryside while working as a yacht crew member, and then overcoming heart surgery, Greg’s mission now is to provide fresh quality food to his community. As a new business making little profit, selling at award-winning Lavenham Farmers’ Market is a vital source of income, so creating an eye-catching stall to show off his colourful harvest is key. Nearby, hard-working tenant farmers Sophie and Tim have brought a full range of dairy and meat, from milkshakes to burgers, to bag as many sales as they can on a hot summer’s day. With young son Henry on the till, Sophie is freed up to go on the charm offensive with potential customers.

E03 Heckington Show - Shire Horses
Committed horseman John is devoted to his shire horses Richard and George, who live at stables near Grimsby that John built for them. Shires are now a rare breed, and John fears for their future. By competing at Lincolnshire’s Heckington Show, he hopes to raise awareness of their champion qualities and rack up some rosettes with help at the reins from friend Terri, who is showing for the first time. Also competing are farming couple Lucy and Oliver, whose family farm is starting to reap the rewards of their hard work in breeding healthy shire foals, one of which will be making a star appearance with her mum in the judging ring. Show day has its stresses but also its successes for these determined competitors.

E04 Edenbridge & Oxted - Sheep and Pigs
Hard grafters Gussie and her mum Susan are a driving force on their family livestock farm in East Sussex, where three generations muck in every day to get the work done. Gussie’s passion is her Welsh pigs, and she his as keen for her pedigree team to scoop up awards at Edenbridge & Oxted Agricultural Show. Meanwhile, Kent farmer Hayley and dedicated daughter-in-law Amy round up the finest members of their flock, hoping they can rack up some top rosettes for their badger face and Kerry Hill sheep. Although farming is in Hayley’s blood, she’s a newcomer to the judging ring. Armed with courage and a competitive spirit, these farmers face some of the best breeders in the region.

E05 Melplash Show
Diana and Nigel are devoted to all the animals on their Devon farm, but Diana's shire horses hold a special place in her heart. After an impressive career in the competition ring with beloved horse Tilly, this year’s Melplash Show will be their swansong, and emotions are running high. Meanwhile, Barry and Jess are gearing up to leave their Dorset farm for the day. After Barry has calmed down his bees and treated his pig to some homemade jam, this committed duo can finally get their heads in the game and try their best to rack up some rosette wins with their finest Suffolk sheep.
