Synopsis

Quiz spin-off from the long-running series Farming, billed as "an agricultural battle of wits". Little remembered today, but a few brief and sadly cropped clips turned up in a BBC Four documentary about countryside-themed TV in 2011.

Ted Moult, the face of farming in the 1960s

From the little we have to go on, it appears it was quite a specialised quiz, not the sort of thing that non-farmers could easily play along with.

What causes the disease in cattle known as teart? (It's c.)
