Today is Back British Farming Day! I am proud to support our strong farming communities in the Sleaford and North Hykeham constituency, who do a fantastic job in providing the nation with high-quality food, all while caring for our beautiful Lincolnshire countryside.
Farmers in our county produce an incredible amount of our nations food, and I have been continuing to champion the importance of sustainable homegrown produce. In recent months, I've attended meetings at Number 10 on agriculture, fed back the views of local farmers in my work in Parliament and signed an open letter from over 100 MPs calling on supermarkets to highlight the very best of British produce.
The Government today has provided a boost to British farmers with a package of measures to help people “buy British” and provide farmers with the cashflow they need to invest in their businesses. Click the link to find out more: https://tinyurl.com/mry2r62m
