Farmers wanted for TV show

Producers are looking for farmers interested in creating new sources of revenue from their farms, for a new TV series due to film later this year and early 2021.

STV Productions, who make Catchphrase and Antiques Road Trip, would like to speak to farmers interested in diversifying or making adjustments to their businesses in order to develop new revenue streams.

Experts will be on hand throughout to help them explore opportunities and realise their ambitions.

The series will be hosted by farmer, author and presenter, Adam Henson who is passionate about communities rallying round farms.

Executive producer John Redshaw said:“It might not be easy to be a farmer these days, with rising overheads, Brexit, bad weather and disease all playing their part, but it’s a generations-old industry that us Brits are known for and this series wants to celebrate that heritage.

“We’re keen to meet with farmers to take part in what we know will be a hugely positive and upbeat experience – and might even be life changing. By learning about the history of their farms, and studying the potential within their agricultural landscapes, we want to join farmers to make their diversification dreams a reality.

“Whether farmers are at the ideas stage, have already started their plans, or have successfully diversified, we’d like to hear all about it.”

Any farmers interested can contact the production team at farming@stv. tv or call 0141 300 3806.
