Harvest

 
Minette Batters was the first female president of the National Farmers' Union in its 109-year history. During that time, she fought for the interests of farmers, never afraid to put her head above the parapet. But 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. So, who better to understand how British farming really works? Blending, memoir and manifesto, this book offers 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.
