The first female president of the National Farmers' Union in its 109-year history tells the story of how she fought fiercely for British farms during some of the country’s most turbulent years – and what we must do next. Born and raised on a small farm, Minette’s love for agriculture was never in doubt. Even after her father warned her that there was no future in farming, her heart brought her back to take over the family business. While managing the farm, running a successful catering business, and raising her twins, she got involved with the NFU to help defend locally grown food and the people who feed us. In her third act, as an advocate for the British agricultural industry, she became the most visible agricultural expert in the UK at a time when Brexit, Covid, and international conflicts have pushed our farms, as well as our food production, into a state of crisis. Who better to guide us through the political landscape surrounding how we feed the nation and what our farmers need to thrive? Combining memoir and manifesto, this book is a powerful look into the real lives of farmers, a love letter to British rural life, and a cry to save it – and how.
