Henry Plumb had to leave school at the age of 15 to work the family farm during the Second World War. Thirty years later he'd become one of the most important figures in British agriculture, steering UK farmers into the Common Market in 1973 as President of the NFU. He later spent 20 years as an MEP, is the only Briton to have been President of the European Parliament, and is still active in the House of Lords. Now almost 90, Baron Plumb of Coleshill - Henry to all who know him - shares reflections on his life in farming and on current issues in the world of agriculture with Caz Graham, in a programme which revisits his Warwickshire family farm fifty years on from On Your Farm's first visit there back in 1965. With excerpts from that original programme offering a fascinating glimpse into farming and society fifty years ago, we hear how, despite a career that placed him on the world stage at the forefront of farming policy, Henry is still a stocksman at heart.

Produced and presented by Caz Graham.
