Clarkson's Farm breakout star Harriet Cowan makes emotional plea as she leads farming campaign after leaving the show
Clarkson's Farm breakout star Harriet Cowan has made an emotional plea as she fronted a new farming campaign. The glam farmhand, 24, stole the show in series four as she arrived on screens to assist at Diddly Squat Farm while Jeremy Clarkson's usual helper, Kaleb Cooper, was away. But after leaving the show, Harriet has returned to her family farm and shared a powerful message to the public and the government this week about the 'dying industry', asking them to 'put British farming on the map'. Harriet has been leading a campaign called Farm24, which sees farmers across the country showcase the best of British farming by sharing content on social media for 24 hours from 5am to 5am. In a video filmed on her family farm, Harriet said: 'Going forward I hope that the next generation of farms would be recognised more by the public and the government especially to put British farming on the map. 'People should be aware that we are here and the government should invest more time and money into farming because we need it. 'I think it's a bit of a dying industry otherwise.' In another clip, she said: 'Being out on my family farm, it's so special to me because this is what my grandad bought it for. He wanted me and my sister and generations to come to own and farm this land. 'Now that there's so many farms being turned into housing and different things like factories and agricultural land isn't being used for agricultural purposes anymore, I think it's so important to just farm what my grandad bought.' She added: 'This is my happy place, being out in the fields and tractoring and contracting out to me and my sister. 'We never want to lose this farm and it's important to us that generations to come will farm this land.' Harriet is heavily involved with her rural community which her grandparents joined in the 1950s when they bought the land which her father still farms. When she's not trying to keep Jeremy in line Harriet works at a cattle farm with her boyfriend, James, just a short distance from the family farm. Prior to becoming Jeremy's side-kick, Harriet had already been building her profile as a farmer on TikTok and had around 40,000 followers before joining the Diddly Squat team. She told The Times recently that she now gets approached all the time, saying: 'Mums have reached out to say my daughter's wanting to go into farming. 'Or I hear about four-year-old girls who want a toy tractor for Christmas, so that's really nice.' It was through her TikTok that Harriet was approached by the show, she said: 'Charlie [Ireland, Clarkson's land agent] let me know they were looking for someone to come and help. 'I think they were keen for it to be a woman who could do that role and show they could do it well.' Despite saying he's not a natural born farmer, Harriet has praised Jeremy for his work at Diddly Squat saying he is, 'very much like every other farmer I've ever met' and 'very much willing to learn. He wanted to do well by the farm.' Poking fun, Harriet added that 'he's got the physique of a farmer' too. The glam farmhand added that other young farmers in her area couldn't believe that she would be on Clarkson's Farm. She said: 'They thought, "Ah, you'll be in the back of the pub and they'll have filmed the pub and the back of your head will be in it." So when it came out they were, like, "Oh sh**, she is actually in it a bit more than I thought she was!"' Harriet's fans have raved about her not letting go of her girlie style and look despite being a farmer but in conversation with The Times she opened up about the 'challenges' of being a young woman in the industry. She said that her father told her and her sister that without a male heir, they would be stepping up to help. Harriet added that she has loved showcasing that women can farm too and now has plans to start documenting life on her family farm on YouTube. The fourth season of Clarkson's Farm in which Harriet was introduced to viewers released to Prime Video in May.

Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan shares emotional message after show exit
Clarkson's Farm star Harriet Cowan has shared an emotional message following her departure from the hit Prime Video series, along with her hopes for the future of British farming. The 24-year-old farmhand and nurse from Derbyshire joined the cast in the fourth season of Clarkson's Farm, which aired across May and June. She was brought in by Jeremy Clarkson, 65, to help at his 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire, while regular farm manager Kaleb Cooper was away. Although Cowan appeared in only part of the series, her down-to-earth attitude and love for the job made her a fan favourite. She left midway through the season once her help was no longer required but has continued to connect with audiences through social media. In a new video interview for show sponsor Beaumont & Bear, Cowan reflected on her experience and called for greater support for the farming community. 'Farm24 is showcasing to the general public, over a 24-hour period, what a farmer gets up to,' she said. 'The Government should invest more time and money into farming because we need it. It's a bit of a dying industry otherwise.' She continued: 'Going forward, I hope the next generation of farmers will be recognised more by the public and the Government, especially to put British farming on the map and for people to be aware that we are here.' 'Being part of the community is probably the most rewarding part for me,' she added. 'You have your neighbours and you're all in tune with each other. You can talk, and if you're having problems, they'll all be there to help you.' Cowan has also been commended for breaking down stereotypes about female farmers. In a recent TikTok post, she hit back at a sexist remark from a '60-year-old bloke' who asked if she was 'a farmer's wife.' 'I am a farmer,' she replied firmly — repeating the phrase throughout the clip. The video sparked a wave of support from fellow women in farming. One commenter wrote: 'This is so true — I'm also a farmer but am always recognised as a farmer's wife.' Another added: 'I love that you went into an industry so dominated by men and showed them how a female is just as good — or in some cases better! Show 'em, hun.'
