Support our campaign from your farm:
Help educate the public to behave responsibly in the countryside by putting up these gatepost signs. Order online or contact NFU CallFirst on 0370 845 8458.
Also available in Welsh language.
Spread the word that British farmers are proud to produce the nation's food by displaying a field banner on your farm or business. Download the print ready artwork file and send to your local printer.
Your knowledge and expertise is an essential tool in helping us to demonstrate what farming does for the nation, and how they can help ensure its future. A compelling experience for those not involved in agriculture, farm visits bring our industry to life. We’re always looking for farmers to host visits from stakeholders, including MPs. If you’re interested, please contact your regional office.
You can also join the hundreds of farmers helping to educate children about farming, with a school visit or open day. Find out more about our free resources and useful links.
If you’re thinking of hosting a visit, you might be interested in taking part in a Countryside Educational Visits Accreditation Scheme (CEVAS) course. The training results in a nationally recognised accreditation and while not mandatory, is highly recommended.
Real-life farmer stories play a vital role in our work to illustrate what British farming does for the country, while highlighting issues affecting rural communities such as fly-tipping or rural crime. If you have a story to tell please get in touch with our press team and help us stand up for you.
