Amanda will be on hand to help with any tasks, no matter how big or small - to learn from the different farming cultures around her.
The star will get to know each of the six families personally as she integrates herself into their everyday life.
Speaking of her new media venture, the Our Yorkshire Farm star said: “This series will show what life’s really like for farmers in 2022. To the outside world, it might seem like some farmers have it made, with large plots of land and expensive machinery but, as ever, the truth is much more complex.
“I want to explore just what it means to be a farmer today, in a world where so much more is expected of us than ‘just’ being food providers.

“Along the way I know I’m going to meet some extraordinary, dedicated people and hear some incredible stories in the most beautiful of settings.”
Jayne Stanger, commissioning editor for Daytime and Features at Channel 4, said: “Amanda brings all of her farming and TV experience to this fascinating and celebratory new show. I’m delighted she is bringing her charm and warmth to More4 where I’m sure our audience will adore following her adventures on amazing farms around the country.”
The announcement comes following Amanda’s split from husband Clive which The Sun exclusively revealed last year.
The pair confirmed they had separated earlier this year following the conclusion of the last series of their Channel 5 show.
