Minette Batters

Available for over a year

The outgoing President of the National Farmers Union, Minette Batters, has been the most influential woman in British farming for the last six years. Anna Hill joins her on her beef farm in Wiltshire, where she talks about her motivation for taking up the job, and her desire to make a difference for family farms transitioning to a new system after Brexit. She reveals her successes and failures, and talks frankly about how she managed to cope with rapidly-changing political incumbents at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. She also tells Anna about the demands of her NFU job and the stress of being on-duty all day, every day. Produced and presented by Anna Hill
