Harvest - 2 (35x40)


Data di messa in onda: Ott 01, 2023

Presenters Adam Henson and Sean Fletcher are back in the ‘breadbasket’ of East Anglia, where over a third of Britain's food is produced. Last time, Adam met arable farmer Tom Martin as he harvested his very first wheat crop of the year. Now, the grain testing results are in, and Tom finally learns if this year’s harvest has been a success. Adam visits the megastructures designed to house vast volumes of wheat and explores the tech keeping pests and moisture from destroying high value stored crops. Sean gets involved with a blueberry harvest and joins farmer Zoe Mee on her family farm to learn the trials and tribulations of growing the berries in the UK. With around 170 tonnes of fruit being picked per harvest, Sean encounters their diligent sorting machine, which uses multiple cameras to grade and sort every single blueberry destined for different supermarkets.
