Critics Review
‘Absolutely brilliant. Minette is the busiest person I’ve ever heard of. Never has a book made me feel so inadequate’ – Jeremy Clarkson, author of ‘Diddly Squat’One of the few people in public life to come of Brexit with her reputation enhanced – no small feat for a tenant farmer and caterer with a fear of public speaking. A bastion of common sense about how much we needed farmers, she is the most impressive leader farmers have had for a very long time. As the first woman president of the NFU she has transcended agriculture, becoming a powerful voice for things that matter. – James Rebanks, author of ‘The Place of Tides’, ‘English Pastoral’ and ‘The Shepherd’s Life’Her passion for British agriculture shines through in everything she does. * Farmer’s Weekly *As a lifelong farmer and agriculture expert, Minette brings a unique and very real insight into the reality of farming – a must-read. – Jamie Oliver
