During the hour-long episode scores of farmers took to social media to praise the BBC’s portrayal. Here are a selection of their comments:
In the next episode, presenters Gregg Wallace and Philippa Forrester visit farmer Tom Bradshaw at the start of his wheat harvest. Watch Cereals: The Seeds of Life tonight (12 September) at 8pm on BBC2.
