I come from the countryside. I come from a bunch of horticulture family members. My best friend was a farmer's boy.

We've got nine generations of farmers in my family, in Warwickshire. And I do feel connected to being a farmer's son. There was a time when I didn't, when I rebelled against it, but there's certainly that sort of work ethic within me.

Whether some may like it or not, I am still the farmer that I was born as and will continue to be one.

I was born in the poor countryside. I was raised in the countryside, planting corn and selling sweets made by my grandmother.

You know, I come from six generations of college graduates.

I'm from a very, very rural place. There's really nobody out there, just roads and farms.

My dad farmed, my granddad was a farmer. I wanted to be a farmer.

I'm a farmer. I always will be a farmer. When I die, I'll be a farmer. It's something that I've wanted to do since I was 8 years old. I can tell you also that I see opportunity slipping away for our kids.
