[National Farmers' Union @NFUtweets]

Today marks the launch of the NFU's general election manifesto which sets out how the next government can unlock the full potential of British farming 🔓

New research shows that backing our farmers and growers matters to voters 🚜

Thank you to Luton South MP Rachel Hopkins for raising an important question following a recent visit to a member's farm.

@nfueast

[Rachel Hopkins MP @rach_hopkins]

The Government must work with the National Farmers’ Union to improve the Seasonal Worker scheme.

Growing, harvesting and eating domestic produce ensures greater food security and reduces reliance on food imports.
