In this week's episode Stephen tops up his vitamins by chatting to fruit farmer Tom Houlbrook. Here we learn more about the trials and tribulations of growing strawberries & blueberries.

Angela is on a pig rearing unit in Shropshire. Whilst new farming entrant Lee has created a successful business, it's been the initial set up issues around planning which has caused the most difficulty. Have you had trouble with any planning issues on your farm. Has it stifled any of your aspirations, or do you think it's a necessary part of preserving the countryside? Let us know in the comments.

Finally we've been sent in some lovely footage of a classic silage & harvesting event. Over 500 people attended, which raised over £2,000 for Shropshire Rural Support. If classic tractors are your thing, then enjoy this!

What’s happening on your farm? We’d love to receive your videos. Email us at vids@therealcountryfile.co.uk
