The pair will once again be joined by Adam Henson and the Nicholson brothers at Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley for a celebration of all things spring during a busy time for farmers. The two-week extravaganza features Royal visits, famous faces helping out on the farm, and an exciting new mission to help the nation give back to the farmers that kept them fed during the pandemic.

The cameras are poised to capture the drama and excitement as farms across Yorkshire and the UK cope with the millions of expected of births as they rush to bring new life into the world.

And a trip to meet the monks with a farm within the grounds of the Benedictine Monastery on the Isle of White to see what the spring season holds for them.

Later in the week, the team face a day of elation and devastation as one of Cannon Hall Farm’s prize cows struggles to deliver twin calves, while there is also love is in the air as the farm’s sheepdog Pip is taken to meet a prize-winning Collie called Ben.
