Farmworkers

Nowt but a fleeting thing:

a young farmer's fight for survival

Video    The Guardian    18 November 2019

A film about a young farmer’s

connection to the land, his animals

and a changing world in the north of England.

Battling against unsustainable farming methods

and an unenthusiastic market,

Adam Crowe continues

to work on two neighbouring farms

while fighting to launch his own business

and breed a flock of sheep.

In rural Britain,

the threat of poverty is often frighteningly close
