Countryfile star: spring was horrible for farming
Western Daily Press
|July 19, 2025
ADAM Henson has lifted the lid on how difficult it currently is on his farm as the Countryfile star admitted “we won’t make money” from the farming side of the business.
The 59-year-old took over the tenancy for the Cotswold Farm Park from his dad Joe in 1999. Joe made history after opening the farm to the public in 1971, the first of its kind to do so.
While that part of the business helps keep the farm afloat, Adam revealed “it is not easy” to make money out of the farming side of the business after a “horrible spring” had a negative impact on the company.
Speaking to BBC'S Farmwatch, he said: “It’s very difficult in arable farming at the moment. Out of straight arable farming in 2025 we won't make money.
“The spring has been horrible, the crops aren’t going to yield, prices are low for the commodity prices of the grain we're likely to be able to sell.
