Episode 3

Dougie is in the heart of Sutherland to meet a woman who discovered the crofting life in her 20s. She is now passing on what she learned, teaching the next generation of crofters and farmers. Meanwhile, Cammy is at home on his new farm to prepare for the arrival of his new Shorthorn cattle herd as they make the journey down from Tain. As arable farmers across Scotland start sowing, Arlene is in the Borders to follow the progress of one field through the seasons. She finds out why farmers are choosing direct drilling instead of ploughing. Elsewhere, Rosie is in the fields of Angus to see sugar beet being harvested. The crop is then fed into anaerobic digesters to produce methane gas. And Anne is near Blairgowrie for a white-knuckle ride around the countryside with a pack of huskies.
