Talking about her new show, the 48-year-old said: “If you’re in farming and agriculture, it’s very easy to feel like you’re unsupported, even vilified, heartening to see how different people were making it work and how diverse modern farming is.”
The series will consist of six episodes, and will mark Amanda’s official departure from the family TV show. Each week, Amanda will visit a different farm, immersing herself in both their lives and their businesses for the week.

Amanda added: “This series will show what life’s really like for farmers in 2022. To the outside world, it might seem like some farmers have it made, with large plots of land and expensive machinery but, as ever, the truth is much more complex.”
She went on to say that she is keen to shine a light of the high expectations of farmers and meeting some “extraordinary people” form across the UK.

“I want to explore just what it means to be a farmer today, in a world where so much more is expected of us than ‘just’ being food providers.
“Along the way I know I’m going to meet some extraordinary, dedicated people and hear some incredible stories in the most beautiful of settings.”
Viewers can expect stunning landscapes, unique lifestyles and an insight into rural farming work, while Amanda gets stuck in to learn more about the trials and tribulations other farmers face.
Jayne Stanger, commissioning editor for Daytime and Features at Channel 4, said: “Amanda brings all of her farming and TV experience to this fascinating and celebratory new show. I’m delighted she is bringing her charm and warmth to More4 where I’m sure our audience will adore following her adventures on amazing farms around the country.”
