Harvest Fever

On Your Farm

Available for over a year

It's the time of year when harvest fever grips the farming industry, and Scottish cereal grower Andrew Moir is no exception. He spends every waking hour in the cab of the combine harvester, if the weather is good - and that usually means eating meals in the field to ensure the wheels are turning for as many hours as possible. Andrew farms cereals in the Howe o'the Mearns, one of Scotland's most fertile arable areas. He's also chair of the assurance body, Scottish Quality Crops, and is passionate about the future of his industry. Nancy Nicolson climbs up into the combine cab to join Andrew, and as they slice through the field of oats she hears about his passion for farming and the importance of his wife Anne to the success of the family business. Produced and presented by Nancy Nicolson.
