The high-octane competition of “The Fast and the Farmer-ish” is back, promising an exhilarating season two as six teams from across the UK rev up their engines to compete in an array of colossal tractor challenges.
Hosted by Tom Pemberton, a full-time farmer and renowned social media star, this season of “The Fast and the Farmer-ish” introduces a fresh set of super-sized challenges masterminded by Games Master Jimmy and his team of skilled engineers. These challenges are designed to push participants’ skills, creativity, and nerves to the limits.
In this season, the competition is fiercer than ever, as rival teams converge at the Fast and the Farmer-ish paddock in Ballymoney, County Antrim. They face the daunting prospect of avoiding elimination through a nerve-wracking “tractor-off” at the end of each episode.
Tom Pemberton, the show’s host, enthusiastically shared, “I can’t wait for everyone to see series two! It’s bigger, better, and even more challenging. We throw absolutely everything at our teams, from lasers, to massive catapults and wrecking balls! The rivalry between our competitors is something else, and it does get heated at times because these young farmers take their tractor skills seriously, and it really shows. For the first time, I take on some of the challenges for myself and was under a lot of pressure to perform, but you’ll have to watch to find out how I do. Bring on the madness!”
As the competition progresses, teams are gradually eliminated until only two remain in the thrilling episode five final. The victorious team in the grand finale faces challenges demanding reversing prowess and a steady hand, all in pursuit of claiming the coveted Fast and Farmer-ish trophy.
In the concluding episode, Tom Pemberton reflects on the series’ highs and lows and showcases his own skills by taking on some of the challenges himself.
