The NFU press office keeps journalists accurately informed on developments concerning the organisation and the wider agricultural world.
Its three press officers strive to maintain effective working relationships with the farming media as well as journalists working in wider print and broadcast media. In this section you can access all NFU press releases, including a substantial archive, and read our letters sent to the press.
You'll also find downloadable images of NFU officeholders and useful facts about the NFU. Find out more by browsing the menu to the left of the page.
