“Clearly there are challenges ahead for the industry, but we are up for meeting them. What we need is just some confidence that we will get the support we need in order to build profitable businesses that can survive the shocks ahead and give us the confidence to re-invest for the future,” said Mr Weekes.

“We also hope that people will also support our farmers and look out for the Red Tractor when they are shopping. By buying British you are not only helping an industry that employs more than 60,000 people across the region, but also looks after our fantastic landscapes and has an important role to play in helping climate change, as the grass our cattle and sheep graze captures a lot of carbon.”
