Harriet Cowan from Derbyshire was a new addition to the cast in the latest season, which was released on Prime Video across May and June this year.

She temporarily stood in for long-time fan favourite Kaleb Cooper as he toured, helping Jeremy Clarkson at the farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire.

The 24-year-old left midway through the series once her help was no longer needed, but became popular with viewers despite her short time on screen.

Ms Cowan has now started writing a trio of articles for Farmers Guardian to be released over the next three months.

The first of these was released today (Friday, January 9), and the Clarkson’s Farm star spoke about the difficulties facing women in farming.

“As a woman in farming, I am often asked if it is difficult to work in a predominantly male industry, and the honest truth is: sometimes, yes,” wrote Ms Cowan.

“There are still times when I have to prove myself twice over, or assumptions are made before you have even closed the cab door.

“But I also have a community where I have grown up farming, and I have not been seen as any less able than the lads I work with.

“And when I got my first real contracting job, my boss would say he would rather have women driving because they take more care, and the tractor stays cleaner.”

When asked on the topic of returning in the past, she told BBC Breakfast News: “We’ve always left it very open.

“I’m here if he needs me, but no plans at the minute. If he needs me, I’m here.”
