‘We were in trouble’ Countryfile’s Adam Henson feared losing his home after devastating ordeal at beloved farm

COUNTRYFILE star Adam Henson has opened up about almost losing his home and family farm during the 2001 Foot and Mouth epidemic which had a devastating impact on the agricultural industry. 

Adam, 58, lives on the 1,600-acre Bemborough Farm with his wife Charlie and their two children Alfie and Ella. He took over the running of the farm from his dad Joe in 1998, working hard to grow crops such as wheat, spring barley and oilseed rape, alongside managing its commercial ewes.
