George the Farmer is everyone’s friend. With his trusty dog Jessie by his side he tackles the day to day activities of Australian farming life in his tractor with enthusiasm, a can-do attitude and most importantly a big smile. Unfortunately George’s obsession with sports often plays havoc with not being able to finish jobs off in their entirety.
