Countryfile celebrates Britain's farming heroes past and present. Adam Henson is in Bristol at the BBC's prestigious Food and Farming Awards to reveal the winner of this year's first ever Countryfile Farming Hero. He also tells us about his historic hero, the father of selective breeding, Robert Bakewell. Matt Baker champions Harry Ferguson, the man who invented the tractor that changed the face of farming forever. Ellie Harrison discovers more about her heroes, a group of men who set up the RSPCA, giving animals rights for the first time in history. Anita Rani finds out how a milk maid helped Gloucestershire doctor Edward Jenner pioneer a treatment that saved millions, even billions, of lives. And Tom Heap champions a man whose efforts gave farmers a voice and helped to feed the nation when it needed it the most.
