yes, i'm on the somerset levels and backin yes, i'm on the somerset levels and back in that awful winteriterally could have been swimming around. and the farmer here says that in the last five years it has got worse, the weather has got more extreme. but this all comes as a report recently said that agriculture is playing a major part in climate change. as the climate warms, it is becoming more unstable. extreme weather is becoming more common. from the beast from the east, to scorching heat waves, to flash floods. this was lincolnshire earlier this year. the nfu says we have to be far more ambitious in how we deal with the changing climate. climate change is probably the single biggest issue that farming is facing at the moment. we are seeing extremes of weather events and, for me, probably the single, biggest challenge is around water. we are seeing more floods, we are seeing more droughts. how we manage those, not just as farmers but as wide —— wider society, will be the biggest challenge going forward. this is a place that understands the challenges of climate change all too well. th

there's no further record of him in somerset. they said this looks like it should be the right time. and he says yes, it must be our connection of the maryland pokes. they put together a family tree. maybe some of you have seen this family tree. there is a picture of it. this is my own personal copy. it shows the main part of the tree at the top. in the lower part is maryland pokes. is looking at it a little more closely you can see here at the bottom and john goes up to the middle of the tree. that is william polk. the grandfather of the crescent. you can see the sun is looking up to the left his son ezekiel samuel son the president james polk which is at the top left in the yellow oval you see there. up on the right is his cousin, actually second cousin. two of them are the ones who put this tree together. if you look in the very small print at the bottom of the tree is is entered by 1849. of course you know it is completely accurate. at any rate, this is accepted widely everybody. robert polk of ireland came from donegal. this

polk in somerset county saying, whoops, there is a problem. william polk that left in 1723, he only made it up into dorchester county maryland and died three years later. this is not the william polk, great grandfather of the president clearly. so this caused a big problem for polk because he was anxious to finish his book and get it out before he died. he had been working on it for 45 years. this is the situation going back to the sons of robert polk, there were seven of them. he got in correspondence with his long-term colleague in louisville and they wrote letters back and forth and said which son should have been the right one. we should have picked somebody else. they didn't really have new information so all they could do is speculate. in the end for whatever reason william polk decided it must have been william, the second son. he must have been the guy, the father of the william who ended up out in north carolina. that's the way he wrote the book. he states that as a fact and doesn't make qualifications or caveat on it and that's the w
