Farmers to Action and All Farmers: Trailer of Truth

Farmers to Action, along with other farming groups, have set out to take three Trailers of Truth across the country with the aim of arriving in Liverpool for the Labour party conference on September 28.  

Messages from farmers and farming groups will be written on the trailer at each location and will be delivered to the labour Government when the trailers arrive.  

Inheritance tax, policy changes and farming schemes are just a few of the issues that are being highlighted through this campaign.

The message, which was delivered by Matthew Trevellyan from the All Farmers group, said: "Defra, we have had enough. For too long, farmers have been kept in the dark while our livelihoods are dismantled by sudden policy changes, cuts to payments, and new taxes that will destroy family farms. 

"You have paused vital schemes without warning, piled on red tape instead of real support, and left thousands of us uncertain about our future. 

"So, we have brought the Trailer of Truth with its heartfelt messages right to your doorstep in London, so the country can see what you have done to our industry.  

"To you Defra, as well as this Labour government, we demand clarity, honesty, stability, and policies that protect British food production, not drive it into the ground reliant heavily on imports.  

"Please, start listening to us, before it is too late."
