Shockingly descriptive demonstration of the small margins for farmers and growers in producing our food from @BBCCountryfile @GrowingDirect @ProducedinKent @Minette_Batters @NFUtweets @NFUPolitical @medway_council @Kent_cc @GrowingKent_Med

[Duncan Berkshire @duncanberkshire]

Great piece on @BBCCountryfile this evening with @charlottebsmith - excellent and simple explanation of how challenging the economics in many areas of farming currently are 🇬🇧🚜 well done @vickihird and @UKSustain

[Claire Taylor @cjtaylor92]

A brilliant piece by @charlottebsmith & @vickihird on @BBCCountryfile demonstrating the profit a farmer makes once the retailer & processor take their cut. This perpetual squeeze on farming incomes is pushing people out of business. We need to value food & the farmers behind it👇

[Chris Bavin @Chris_Bavin]
