'I took over the family farm aged 17'

Jo Lawrence, from Allensmore, took the reins of the farm after her father died. In the years since, her brother has also passed away. The young female farmer reflects on overcoming grief and getting to grips with a full-throttle business at a much earlier age than she could ever have planned to, and what it took to turn her farm in Herefordshire in to a happy place, once again. She tells Tammy Gooding how there’s even more prospective young female farmers, with a child of her own and another on the way!
