This is the one episode in nearly 900 episodes where I teared up editing it!
Meet one of my great mates, Anna. As an open-minded, intelligent, technologically advanced sheep & beef farmer in her 30's she is trumped, not at why change is needed, but how.
Anna Fisher, a passionate farming mother of 2-under-5 gives an authentic insight into life on farm navigating the rise in demands from every level and why farmers took to the streets in protest.
"Most of our friends in the farming industry are pretty upbeat sort of people. You don't ever see them angry or down and out but now they are saying, geez, I've had enough. There are just so many pressures on farming, you feel like a minority that people just hate you," explains Anna.
