This week on Private Parts, Liv Bentley gets down and dirty with childhood friend and fourth-generation female farmer Isobel Connell, and trust us, youโve never heard farming talked about like this.
From losing her father in a tragic farm accident to driving a tractor straight to Westminster in protest, Isobel shares what itโs really like trying to survive as a modern farmer in the UK, and why government policies, clueless dog owners, and cheap supermarket meat are threatening the future of British agriculture.
