Sarah Swadling meets two Somerset farming neighbours who've joined forces to survive.

Their fathers used to help each other out at silage making time but Jeremy Padfield and Rob Addicott have taken co-operation a step further. Starting with a combine, they decided to share machinery and staff between their farms. As Sarah Swadling finds out, collaboration has given the two tenant farming neighbours the scale they need to survive, as arable farms get ever larger.
