NFU President Meurig Raymond said: “Currently there are lots of uncertainties for farming – trade agreements, labour, financial support, legislation are all up in the air. But, the NFU is committed to providing this industry with leadership and to use its significant influence, with the backing of its membership, to ensure a profitable, productive and sustainable future for farming. I look forward to receiving your views.”
