Out and About Spring 2021

Berkshire Farm Girl Eleanor Gilbert is on a mission to educate people about farming in the 21st century. In a regular column for Out&About, she takes readers through the farming seasons and the ups and downs of the industry. Currently in her first year at Harper Adams Agricultural University in Shropshire, Eleanor regularly goes home to Rookery Farm, Newbury, to help out. 2020 is a year she would rather forget, so it seems 2021 does not have a hard act to follow
