Get involved with Back British Farming Day

NFU President Minette Batters has urged farmers to get involved with Back British Farming Day on September 9.

Back British Farming Day, which is in its fifth year, was created to show what farming delivers - from nutritious food to enhancing the natural environment.

Ms Batters said: "This year, I ask farmers to do three simple things. Firstly, download our brand new Back British Farming Day ‘twibbon' which they can add to their profile picture on social media.

"Secondly, reach out to MPs and ask them to wear their wheat pin badge with pride on the day. Lastly, share your story on social media using the hashtag #BackBritishFarming."
