Mr Baker, who for many years also presented ‘Countryfile’ and ‘The One Show’, said: “We are going through this real interesting phase where we have changed a couple of times and really started understanding the breed so to come and look is really useful.
“What a celebration of British farming this is and for people that don’t know about farming it is a window to this world. There aren’t many places where you can find folk with as much agricultural knowledge in one place.”
