During that time, she fought tooth and nail for the interests of farmers, never afraid to put her head above the parapet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut Minette's expertise in British farming spanned many more years than her presidency. In fact, the union was the third act of a life lived at the heart of the farming community – first, she was born and raised on a farm and, even after her father warned her there was no future in farming, her heart brought her home to take over the family farm. In her third act, as advocate for the UK's farming industry, she became not only a life-long farmer but the most visible agriculture expert in the UK, at a time when Brexit, Covid and international conflict have pushed our farms, and our food production, to a state of crisis. So, who better to understand how British farming really works?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlending memoir and manifesto, \u003cem\u003eHarvest\u003c\/em\u003e will be a powerful insight into the real life of farmers, a love letter to British rural life, and a rallying cry to save it – and how.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47754152018156,"sku":"9781529953893","price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781529953893-harvest.jpg?v=1781658157"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/minette-batters.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
