But it is a delicate fruit with many sharp thorns to bypass. Adam Henson meets the Welsh and English contenders for this year's One Man and His Dog. Have they got what it takes to be crowned champion? Charlotte Smith investigates whether farmers can really trust their banks when it comes to their future financing.
