Now I saw him.” The context may be very different now but the sense of urgency is the same, says Dobbs.

The pandemic has been tough for Emmanuel-Jones, who has shielded throughout, receiving his first vaccine earlier this month. Seven years ago, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. A stem cell transplant was “absolutely brutal”, and severely compromised his immune system. “Even before Covid, [winter] would have been brutal for me, I would have ended up in hospital with some sort of infection,” says Emmanuel-Jones, who divides his time between the farm and London, where he receives fortnightly treatment at Guy’s Hospital.

All these farmers were coming out of the woodwork saying, ‘You think what happened to you is bad? You should hear my story!’” he says. “I was just trying to save my farm. But then I saw this was a huge national issue.” Emmanuel-Jones was born in Clarendon, Jamaica, but in 1961 he moved with his parents to the United Kingdom. They settled in Small Heath in Birmingham, where he was one of nine children living in a small terrace house.
