“I’m very proud to be an ambassador for the Prince’s Countryside Fund that helps supports farmers across the UK,” he said.

He continued: “And of course our farmers are an integral part of the rural community.

“They work tirelessly day in day out, come rain or shine to produce fantastic British produce for us all to enjoy.”

The star then asked his fans to support the appeal by donating £3 a month by becoming a ‘Friend of the Countryside’.

Adam’s post comes after his recent hip operation that he shared with fans on BBC’s Countryfile.

He revealed his pain over the last number of years had started to affect his day-to-day activities on his farm.

“It’s now been pretty much 12 hours since I had my hip resurfacing operation.

“The feeling in my legs and waist have all come back now, pretty much my right leg, which is the leg I had done, is still a bit tingly and a bit weird.”

He added: “I’ve never really had surgery quite like this before, it does make me feel for all those people that have gone through things an awful lot worse.”

Then Adam shared another update from home, just a few days on from the surgery.

He admitted the recovery was a lot more painful and slower than he imagined but he was ‘very lucky’ to have a great team behind him on the farm.

“I’m very lucky to have a strong team on the farm who can do all the work. In three or four weeks’ time, hopefully, I’ll be back out and about.”
