Frank Carr was a fourth-generation farmer at Lee Gate Farm in Malhamdale, North Yorkshire, and appeared on the BBC programme alongside presenter Adam Henson.
Mr Henson, who runs Cotswold Farm Park near Guiting Power, visited Mr Carr’s farm for the programme, where the young farmer spoke about the realities and pressures of farming in the Yorkshire Dales.
Countryfile, which is also presented by Banbury resident John Craven, has been broadcast on the BBC for decades.

Mr Carr died on September 25, with news of his death subsequently announced by Farmers Guardian.
He farmed more than 2,000 acres of owned and rented land in the Yorkshire Dales National Park alongside his family.
The farm’s beef and sheep operation included around 250 breeding cows and 1,300 breeding ewes, as well as store and finished cattle.
Farmers Guardian said: “Looking out across the vast landscape, he spoke with pride about the heritage of the farm and his determination to carry it forward.
“That commitment to the next generation was something Frank embodied.”

The publication said Mr Carr had worked with it on numerous occasions and had taken part in its Next Generation Hill Farmers series.
He was also a #Farm24 campaign ambassador for a number of years, helping to showcase modern farming and the people involved in producing food.
Katie Jones, editor of Farmers Guardian, said: “For those who met Frank through his farming, his work with the industry or his appearances in the farming media, he will be remembered not only as a talented young farmer but as someone who represented the very best of the next generation – committed to his family, his livestock, his land and the future of British farming.
“He was a true friend of FG. His loss, at just 35, is immeasurably sad.”
During his appearance on Countryfile, Mr Carr spoke candidly to Mr Henson about the challenges facing his family farm and his hopes for its future.

He said: “In farming, every day is an opportunity to learn. Farming is a very rewarding profession, although it can be very challenging mentally; it can also be very rewarding, so that’s another reason why I love what I do.”
Mr Carr also discussed the financial pressures facing hill farmers.
He said: “At the end of the day, farming is a business, so the financial aspect is always an issue. There’s no real clarity on the future, especially for hill farms.”
Tributes have been paid to Mr Carr from across the farming community and by people who saw him on Countryfile.
Farmers Guardian described Mr Carr as a “true friend” of the publication and said he would be greatly missed.
