00:00Harriet Cohen is not your stereotypical farmer.
00:02I land my first sheep at like five.
00:04Oh my god.
00:05Because we had tiny little hands.
00:07And my dad's hands are huge, so he's like...
00:08In you go.
00:09In you go.
00:10Are you met with surprise when you tell people you're a farmer?
00:13Sometimes, yeah.
00:14I mean, definitely when I'm in a nursing uniform.
00:16You are working two jobs, which is going to be a shock to people.
00:20It's a lifestyle to be a farmer, not...
00:21I don't do it because I want money out of it.
00:23I do it because that's...
00:24That is our life.
00:25How many days a week do you nurse?
00:26Five.
00:27You're joking.
00:29You're kidding me.
00:30I know, yeah.
00:31Don't you just farm before you go to work?
00:33And after, yeah.
00:34Loneliness among farmers is really common.
00:36Yeah, yeah.
00:37There's so much.
00:38They don't talk about their emotions.
00:40In Derbyshire especially, they just be like,
00:41all right, you all right?
00:42You know, and everyone's like, yeah, yeah, you all right?
00:44Like, and that's that.
00:46And you don't really go up and be like,
00:48is everything actually okay?
00:49And no farmer will go, I'm really, really struggling.
00:52I've got so much on.
00:53I need help.
00:54We are growing these cows and these sheep
00:57to feed our country.
00:59Just buy a British and be kind to a farmer.
