If anything, Harry Metcalfe is a ‘non farmers farmer’ more than anything that countryfile do.
I like him, I like his car stuff as well, and have been a subscriber to Evo magazine since issue 1, but he has a huge secondary income and I think even he would say he’s not an average or typical farmer.
So, it’s no more a realistic portrayal of farming than Clarkson’s setup, but agree it helps folk unfamiliar with the issues to think about farming and food production.
