The first female president of the National Farmers’ Union in its 109-year history tells the story of how she fought tooth and nail for British farms through some of the country's most tumultuous years – and what we need to do next.

Born and raised on a small farm, Minette's love for farming never wavered. Even after her father warned her there was no future in farming, her heart brought her home to take over the family business. While running the farm, managing her successful catering business and raising her twins, she joined the NFU to help advocate for locally grown food and the people who feed us. In her third act, as advocate for the UK’s farming industry, she became the most visible agriculture expert in the UK, at a time when Brexit, Covid and international conflict has pushed our farms, and our food production, to a state of crisis. Who better to guide us through the political landscape that surrounds how we feed the nation and what our farmers need to thrive?

Blending memoir and manifesto, this book is a powerful insight into the real lives of farmers, a love letter to British rural life, and a rallying cry to save it – and how.

'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.
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)

From start to to finish, how it resinated my past, memoirs of my parents and grandparents. Being brought up in the industry, even though on the horticulture of agriculture, struggles can be the same. Even now in my later years, what is still relative the struggles we have within farming. Admire the work Minette totally, has brought to the industry from humble beginnings, to President of the NFU, I hold my cap up to her.

I felt the author’s delivery somewhat monotone. However, this did not detract from the overall story. Truly depressing to hear issues being raised over 15 years ago still not being fully addressed by government….. Surely food security should be a major government priority? Apparently not. A very good and informative listen.

The hard work and determination needed to farm.

I first became aware of Minette when she was NFU President and one of the few farmers to support Remain. I was impressed by her articulate and thoughtful approach to promoting farming. She writes that she was once afraid of public speaking, something she has clearly overcome.

There are many touching stories about her interactions with animals, several of which involve saving their lives.

However, her account of her son's time in hospital is even more moving and deeply affecting.

Comfortable in her own skin and refreshingly honest, Minette has written an excellent autobiography, which she narrates with warmth, sincerity, and genuine feeling.

A story of a confident roman
