Watch now: Your weekly vlog from the President

In this week’s vlog, President Tom Bradshaw reflects on a “very disappointing” Budget which failed to give farmers the “breathing space” many were hoping for, despite the significant pressures facing farm businesses.
 
He also explains why the industry must now regroup and strengthen the case for food and farming in Westminster, particularly as the UK’s reliance on imported food continues to grow.
 
With NFU Council meeting at Stoneleigh next week with discussions planned with the Farming Minister, Tom outlines how the NFU is taking members’ concerns directly to the top of government, pushing for greater recognition of the challenges facing agriculture and the need to back domestic food production.
