One of the delights of my beautiful constituency is our top fruit orchards. But growers are having a tough time at the moment. So it was good to walk @_charringtons farm today with some of my independent apple growers to talk about how I can help. #GardenofEngland #BIFGA

@NFUBFGmag Not just a great cover - a great read. Farmers and growers, make sure you read yours this weekend @DavidatWestons @AliCapper @suescott18 @CityHarvest @ProagriLtd

Good to meet with the Kent Chief Constable on farm yesterday to discuss rural crime and rural policing. @NFUtweets @NFUSouthEast @NFUEastAnglia

First segment. Apple grower costs up 23%, shoppers paying 17% more for lowest price apples (ONS) but growers returns only up by 0.8%. This explains why orchards are being removed and not replanted. #freshproducecrisis #foodsecurity #biodiversityloss bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
