Countryfile's Adam Henson 'gravely concerned' for his farms future after £30k loss

The farmer then focused on one crop he was growing and how the weather conditions have affected its yield.

“Usually this barely field would be heavy with grain when we come to cut it, but this year, feels like a very different story,” Adam said. 

“The growing season for the crops has been incredibly challenging, it started off with that really wet autumn and the crops just didn’t germinate and grow. 

“And then we went into the drought and if you walk out into this area, you can see that this is where the little seeds didn’t grow at all – this was soaking wet, it was a muddy puddle. 

“Across the other areas of the field, where it was slightly drier, they did start to grow, but in the spring, they got hit by the drought and they really struggled,” he continued.
