Publisher's Synopsis
Well-known 'Farmer John' Greenslade wrote a successful memoir of his life as a Devon farmer, conservationist and broadcaster, first published in 2010. Over the next ten years as work on the farm and conservation projects progressed, he was persuaded to record the further triumphs and setbacks of life in rural Mid Devon, at Way Farm. From a low point as devastating Ash Dieback was diagnosed in newly-planted woodland, to the 'Mighty Big Experience' of being awarded the MBE for services to Agricultural Education and Conservation in the West Country, he relates the fascinating story of his experiences as one of Devon's great characters.
