❓ | We're in the political Q&A session at #NFU25. @NFULNR county chair @JoeWStanley asks:

Delighted to have spent my last day with @LeicsRuralCrime, who received a Chief Constables Commendation for excellence.
This team, as a whole + individuals, have made such a difference to members + rural communities since NFU lobbying secured them- I couldn’t be prouder😊

@Stontonwyville @JoeWStanley @LeicsRuralCrime @LeicsPCC@aliciakearns Satisfaction surveys of NFU members over the last 4 years show a volte face re reporting confidence + informed response thanks to @LeicsRuralCrime efforts, and data shows they’ve reduced rural crime by 16%, but I have flagged your comment to their Sgt who will be in touch.
LNR members had a lovely evening last night thanks to @warnersgin in Northants. Such an informative, lively tour + a clear example of passion giving purpose and becoming the profession 👏🏻
@Sarahbellagri Thankyou so much Sarah(‘s) but it’s not all down to me. I’ve been blessed with fantastic officeholders + group secs as well as some v close colleagues +every member challenge has been an opportunity to learn another nuance of the industry +the people that make it so special x
@JoeWStanley Cow 💩 a sieve and some water. Need it from an animal on a TMR wash it till you’re left with food stuffs and talk about different things they eat and having 4 stomachs. Mostly they just love playing with 💩!
