Farming’s biggest digital campaign, #Farm24, has taken its profile to new heights this year following unprecedented activity across social media and beyond.
Sponsored by Morrisons, farmers and ancillary organisations embraced the event to educate consumers about where their food comes from and what a typical day across the industry can look like.
Trending at number 1 on social media, along with our umbrella campaign,FarmingCAN, just two hours after the annual event began at 5am yesterday morning (August 4), 24 Hours in Farming exploded across Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok as farmers proudly shared posts, videos, pictures, vlogs and hosted a diverse mixture of events to mark the much-loved event.
Prime minister Boris Johnson was joined by a string of celebrities and leading figures including Miranda Hart, Dan Lydiate, Kelvin Fletcher, Phil Vickery and Alexander Armstrong to name but a few who all wasted no time in dedicating their support and pride towards the role of British farmers and associated communities.
Radio 1’s Greg James raised the stakes when he dedicated a shout out to the campaign after being alerted by one of his contributors, Young Farmer Tom, about how and why the event was taking place.
