A deputy manager at a nursery has said she was “blown away” after raising more than £25,000 to help a dairy farmer who appeared on Clarkson’s Farm.
The Amazon Prime show follows Jeremy Clarkson as he manages an Oxfordshire farm, and season two features Emma Ledbury, a farmer who lost half of her cattle to tuberculosis-carrying badgers. After watching the programme, Rebecca Poole, 45, from Solihull, West Midlands, has made Ms Ledbury more than £25,000 through public donations on GoFundMe.
“I am absolutely overwhelmed and I can’t thank people enough,” Ms Poole told the PA news agency. “It’s just blown me away how kind people are, especially in the current financial climate where people are struggling to buy food or heating, donating to a cause.
