Jeremy Clarkson’s New Farm Sidekick Aims to Change Attitudes

Derbyshire farmer Harriet Cowan has stepped into the spotlight as Jeremy Clarkson’s new sidekick on the latest season of Clarkson’s Farm. In addition to being a full-time farmer, Harriet also works as a community nurse in Belper when she’s not tending to her farm.

Harriet’s involvement in the show has given her a platform to advocate for young farmers and shed light on the mental health struggles that many farmers face. In an industry filled with uncertainty, she emphasizes the importance of addressing these challenges and encouraging farmers to talk about their experiences.

One of Harriet’s goals is to challenge stereotypes of farming, particularly the notion that farmers are typically older men. She wants to showcase the role that women, like herself, play in agriculture and break down traditional gender roles within the industry.

Despite initially not being familiar with the show, Harriet found working with Jeremy Clarkson to be a rewarding experience. She highlights the authenticity of the show and praises Clarkson for his genuine interest in farming and willingness to learn.

Looking ahead, Harriet hopes to continue using her newfound platform to promote women in farming and advocate for mental health awareness within the industry. While the door remains open for her to return to the show in future seasons, her commitment to farming and supporting her community remains unwavering.

Harriet’s positive reception from viewers has been overwhelming, and she is grateful for the opportunity to share her passion for farming with a wider audience. As she navigates her newfound visibility, Harriet remains dedicated to her roots in farming and her mission to create positive change within the industry.
