I don't think it's dumbed down. It may have changed its focus. Did 'real' farmers ever look to it to get anything from it?

No, but it is a vital service, giving us something to complain about. For real agricultural education we have the Archers.

Out here they feed the animals on turnips and the humans eat the tops in soups and stews, they are called grelos. They are a bit bitter but I like them.

I don't think it is as in depth as it used to be, and the black grass report was awful as it didn't really explore the options properly. I tend to watch it for the weather, which is really useful.

I don't get the point of "Adam's Farm" - why don't they feature all the other presenters hobbies? Oh yes, because it's incredibly tedious.
