In Yorkshire, farmers and police join forces to tackle a cruel countryside crime. When a tip-off from Farm Watch member James Hinchcliffe sparks a chase across open fields, rural crime officer Sam Blakebrough leads the pursuit of men accused of setting dogs on hares for sport. As officers close in, they’re determined to bring the offenders to justice to send a clear message that such brutality has no place in the countryside.\n\nIn north Wales, a dairy farmer’s harvest goes up in flames when a devastating case of spontaneous combustion destroys thousands of pounds worth of animal feed. With fires costing UK farms millions every year, experts reveal how this deadly phenomenon ignites silently, and the steps farmers can take to prevent their farmyards against it. \n\nAnd in Cheshire, reporter Paul Colgan trains with a specialist fire and rescue team to learn how they save large farm animals in life-or-death situations.
