FARMER’s wife Olga Taylor is set to milk the attention after shedding her clothes to pose for a charity calendar.

The 31-year-old usually spends her days feeding cattle and tending chickens but will appear in next year’s Lady Farmers Calendar after being spurred on by a joke with her husband John.

Despite never modelling before Mrs Taylor overcame her sheepishness to pose in just an apron and Wellington boots outside the family’s farm shop, Mr Finn Farm Produce, in Horton-cum-Studley, near Oxford.

She appears as Miss October in a photo entitled ‘Give us a butchers’.

Mrs Taylor, a qualified vet, who grew up in the Russian city of Kirov and now lives in Bicester with her husband and their two-year-old daughter Jennifer, said: “We bought the calendar last year to sell in our farm shop.

“We have lots of jokes and we had one about me and John being in next year’s calendar.

“He was joking and joking about it and as a joke I said: ‘Of course, why not?’”

“When the photographer turned up, I didn’t have much choice then but to stick to my word.”

The saucy snaps were taken in April.

Mrs Taylor, who works at Corner Farm, next to the shop, said: “I was quite nervous to begin with, because it was my first type of shot naked or half-naked and I was worried some of the customers might turn up at any minute.”

She added: “I have never done anything like it before but I’m quite pleased with it.”

Mr Taylor, 48, who met his wife when she was a strawberry picker at nearby Rectory Farm in 2006, said: “She’s going to have her leg pulled something chronic when the calendars come in.

“But having experienced what she experienced in Russia, going without and queueing up for a loaf of bread, she’s very keen to do work for charity.

“She’s always been a bit self-conscious but I said to her: ‘You’ve got nothing to worry about’. I’ll have to join in next year definitely.

“How can I say ‘no’ when Olga’s already done it?”

Money raised by the calendar will help children with speech and language difficulties at St Catherine’s School on the Isle of Wight.

Calendar founder Nicola de Pulford said: “Olga was great. I didn’t think she really thought I would turn up but she was brilliant.”

The calendar costs £6.99 and is available from farm shops and online from thefarmerscalendar.co.uk
