Lots of support for @CommonsEFRA Chair @neil_parish as he declares "farmers are the original friends of the earth" in the House of Commons. Now talking about the importance of making sure the #AgricultureBill improves fairness in the supply chain for farmers.

@JDRoyle Sad to see farmers shooting each other in the foot by selling under finished stock :(

It takes a long time for the price to recover if we depress it through our own ineptitude.

Letter in today's @thesundaytimes from @Minette_Batters and @ShaunSpiers1 on importance of getting the right Brexit outcome for our environment. "We cannot hope to manage our natural environment in the absence of a profitable farming sector."

[@Statsman @Statsman190]

Interesting stats I came across just now from @Wef. There are only 8 countries in the world that spend less than 10% of their income on food. The UK is one of them & lowest in the EU. Ave spend on food & drink has fallen from 30% in 1950s to 8.2% today in the UK

@JDRoyle @NFUnortheast Good businesses get ahead based on on their own initiative in these areas, is it wise to use public or industry funds to favour those who don't make the effort?
