Come on Asda, do you back this? 🚜 🇬🇧

[Love British Food @LoveBritishFood]

Eat plant-based food, your choice.

Eat meat, also your choice.

We just ask that where possible - Buy British!🇬🇧

Important that members take this first opportunity to feed in to the overarching review into farm assurance to make it fit for the future.

I need help to try and help others within the UK Sheep Industry.

I have attached some context of what we, and so many others, have faced this year due to #Schmallenberg.

Losses throughout the UK are potentially massive & a conjoined plan of action for a Vaccine must be formed.

[Niff Whitton @NiffWhitton]

This is such a sad state of affairs but one that is not isolated.
We are losing our local communities which so many people rely on.

[FarmingUK @FarmingUK]

Great idea and well-needed! 🚜🇬🇧

[Niff Whitton @NiffWhitton]

people who have lost faith in the NFU but I don't see another way of having the impact needed. If you're not happy with where the NFU is going the best action is to get involved rather than trying to divide the industry and break up our collective voice.

[Niff Whitton @NiffWhitton]

@NFUCymru @AledNfu @AbiReader are doing an incredible job. Every farmer in Wales MUST have their say. Please respond to the consultation. Both in England and Wales we need #SustainableFoodProduction the fight will never stop to achieve it 💪🐄🌾🐑👇

Next question - why don't we flip things and have British produce as standard and label all imported produce with where it comes from on the front of it like.... "Spanish bacon" or "Polish Chicken".

[National Farmers' Union @NFUtweets]

Today is the start of the @Gameandwildlife 2024 Big Farmland Bird Count. Farmers & growers will spend the next 2 weeks recording bird species & numbers on farms to see the impact of conservation work on UK farmland bird population 👏🐦
