Farmers Apprentice – watch episode two live

Episode two of Farmers Apprentice – the groundbreaking new web TV series from Farmers Weekly – will be broadcast LIVE AT 7.30pm on Wednesday 5th December.

In episode one the finalists met each other and the judges for the very first time and were thrown in at the deep end with their very first task – delivering an after-dinner speech on the subject of ‘If I were Prime Minister for a day…’

But in Episode 2: Pig Business, the real work begins. Pigs are the name of the game as the 10 finalists are challenged to go from farm to fork and work across the pork supply chain. The challenge is to turn the slim margins possible in pig production into pound notes through producing a brand new flavour of sausages and marketing campaign.

Watch the episode LIVE at 7.30pm on Wednesday night online at farmersapprentice.co.uk

The five-part Farmers Apprentice series follows 10 farming hopefuls at bootcamp as they compete for a £10,000 prize to kick-start their career in agriculture.

All the tasks they encounter reflect real life farming challenges, from handling livestock and using GPS technology, to navigating a top-of-the range tractor and presenting a business pitch to a panel of high-profile judges.
