The Brookfield contingent are delighted with the attendance at Open Farm Sunday. It’s great to get such support from the community. Stella’s impressed with Pip’s dairy presentation – they agree it’s important for farms to keep doing this. Even Josh’s ‘silage sniffing’ attraction has a healthy queue. They spot some over-enthusiastic youngsters on the yard but it’s nothing they can’t handle. They worry that quiet David’s rattled, but he explains he was just contemplating the four generations he sees – with Rosie as the future. Pip agrees. She’s heard at least two kids today talking about wanting to go into farming. David acknowledges days like today make it all worthwhile, even though he moans now and again. Pip hears that attendance is well down at Bridge Farm, and David has an idea. He grabs a megaphone and delivers a heartfelt speech about how one unfortunate event can blight a farm.

Bridge Farm is eerily quiet. Helen’s hopes that today would provide an opportunity to show they’ve bounced back from February’s sewage leak seemed to be dashed. They distract themselves with talk of Peggy’s funeral, and the cricket. Tony’s touched that Henry’s decided to support the farm today rather than play. It’s just a shame it’s so quiet. A few turn up for the goat gymkhana but it’s not enough. When Helen hears how busy Brookfield is they’re forced to admit it’s going to be hard to shake off the spectre of the sewage incident. They’re about to pack up when there’s a sudden rush of visitors. Nonplussed Tony declares it a miracle.
