The group laugh towards the end of the footage, as the farmer remarks: “There’s only another 700 more to do.”
The couple, who have three children - George, five Charlotte, four, and one-year-old Louis - also joined the Cumbria Wildlife Trust on a nature walk.
The visit was a busy day of engagements that also saw the couple meet the locals and sample some of the produce on offer in the region.

Kate wrote in a note for her Chelsea Flower Show entry that as a child she used to go “boulder hopping” in Cumbria.

The couple’s visit comes days after they attended the Trooping the Colour event in honour of the 93rd birthday of the Queen, William’s grandmother.
Kate wore a stunning yellow dress and matching floral hat while William was dressed in his military gear.
But it was Prince Louis who stole the show.
The tot wore the exact same outfit as his uncle, Prince Harry, in the same event 33 years ago.
Pictures from the event in 1986 show two-year-old Prince Harry being held by Princess Anne, dressed in the same blue shorts and white shirt.
This nod to Prince Harry comes four years after Prince George wore the same blue outfit his father Prince William had worn at Trooping the Colour in 1984.
Kate held an excited Louis and wore a pastel yellow dress by one of her favourite designers, Alexander McQueen, and her matching hat was designed by Philip Treacy.
