Agnew was born in Norwich, and educated at Gordonstoun School and the Royal Agricultural College. A long-time UKIP member, he is a Norfolk farmer who formerly represented Norfolk on the NFU Council. He sits on the European Parliament Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development.
He was the UKIP candidate in Mid Norfolk at the 2001 general election, in Norfolk North at the 2005 general election, and in Broadland at the 2010 and 2015 general elections.
Agnew has described climate change science as "the global warming scam". In the European Parliament in 2015, he stated that plants need carbon dioxide as food, so "if you succeed in decarbonising Europe, our crops will have no natural gas to grow from". Richard A. Betts of the Met Office described this as a misunderstanding, since cutting emissions did not mean reducing existing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
In the 2017 UKIP leadership election he is the running-mate of Anne Marie Waters.
