Pardon the double post but I've watched Season 5 now and wanted to share my thoughts.
Fuck gypsies and their shitty chariots.
The robot tractor and planter were pretty cool, along with the soil scans and drones. Better to employ clankers than foreigners, but don't be fooled into thinking there wasn't some kind of sponsorship deal. (same with the CFMoto UTV)
Drought really fucked em over, hopefully next season plays out better and lets them really show off the capabilities of new farming technology.
The Pub suffering from success is very on brand for Clarkson.
I find it hard to believe Caleb isnt playing up some of his rural ignorance for the cameras.
F for the Pigs, but least Richard Ham survived and made a new friend.
F for the guinea fowl, but I can't say I didn't see that coming.
Extreme Autism Bird Girl was adorable and should be treasured.
A triumphant return for the OG Lambo tractor, long may it reign, clutch issue aside.
The Jeremy Cancer arc would have been a lot more dramatic if I didn't go in knowing he's going to be fine, see previous post. As such it was overshadowed by absolute tragedy of the sick cow arc. Speaking of which.
Anyway, can't cow TB be treated? What's the problem here?
No. There is no effective treatment for cow TB. I'm not sure if that means its simply impossible or of its merely cost ineffective but the industry standard is to cull infected animals.
What surprises me is that the test seems so arbitrary. Surely they could do a blood test to confirm rather than simply measuring lumps, and then for the cow to be culled for inconclusive results is ridiculous.
At least it would seem Endgame is okay.
