Farmers and police in the East Yorkshire town of Goole join forces to tackle a cruel countryside crime, as rural crime officer Sam Blakebrough leads the pursuit of men accused of setting dogs on hares for sport. In Caernarfon, Gwynedd, a dairy farmer's harvest goes up in flames when a devastating case of spontaneous combustion destroys thousands of pounds worth of animal feed. Over in Winsford, 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
