Richard and Heather Gibson: You have to take your hat off to this couple who have built their high performing 130 Holstein herd from next to nothing
Henry Lewis: Looking after 400 cows producing 110,000 litres of milk is a challenge that Henry relishes on his 154ha unit near Bromyard
Peter Jack: Standing still is not an option for Peter despite hitting the big six-O; he produces premium milk for Waitrose on his 200ha tenanted farm
