Ledbury’s MP has shown his support for British farmers on Back British Farming Day.

Sir Bill Wiggin joined NFU representatives in recognising the vital role farmers in North Herefordshire play in feeding the nation.

The National Farmers Union (NFU) provided the emblem of the day, a British wool and wheatsheaf pin badge.

This symbolises the fantastic products British food and farming provides and recognises an industry which provides jobs for almost 4 million people and is worth more than £120 billion to the national economy.

“As well as providing high-quality food for the nation, our farmers also maintain and care for our beautiful British countryside.”
