Episode Summary
Hosts Adam Henson and Charlotte Smith will be in Cambridgeshire, at Cheffins’ renowned agricultural machinery auction, known as the Agmash Auction Hub.
This auction serves as the ultimate trading floor for agricultural machines, providing a fascinating window into the ever-evolving mechanics of farming. Charlotte, in preparation for the auction, lends a hand to farmers William Wombwell and Chris Haylock, helping them ensure that their machines are in pristine condition before they go under the hammer, in the hopes of fetching a great price.
Adam, with the guidance of auctioneer Joe Page, delves into the rich history of Europe’s largest auction of farming machinery, hosted on their sprawling 42-acre site. Here, farmers from the UK and around the world come together to buy and sell the essential tools of their trade. Adam even takes a ride on a mobile auction car to immerse himself in the thrilling bidding action.
While exploring the auction site, Charlotte encounters a diverse cast of characters and learns about how the UK’s used farming equipment attracts international buyers seeking machines with provenance to bid on and ship back home. Additionally, the episode takes viewers further afield, where a family of mechanical tinkerers restores vintage tractors of yesteryear, breathing new life into these classic machines.
In another segment, Tom Heap investigates the complex factors contributing to the ecological challenges facing Lough Neagh, the UK’s largest lake. This investigation sheds light on the pressing issues affecting the lake’s health and ecosystem.
