On tomorrow's @BBCFarmingToday an exclusive interview with the Prime Minister about his new farming announcements, what @Minette_Batters really think about it and reactions from delegates from the #NFU24 delegates. 5:45 on @BBCRadio4 or at your leisure after on @BBCSounds

Prime Minister @RishiSunak says @ #NFU24 he is announcing the biggest package of grants of over £200 million to ensure they keep their promises of spending £2.4 billion on farming. … so not new money, but old money with a new label, possibly available due to under spent in ELMs

At #NFU24 @Minette_Batters says that 50% of subsidies should be focused on food production and she looks forward to hear what the PM will say on this. The PM just told us in an exclusive interview that food is a public good… but 50% may be a bit more than what he has in mind.

In an exclusive interview with @BBCFarmingToday at the #nfu24 conference, the Prime Minister @RishiSunak tell us that Food is a public good. This is a change of direction as so far the new farming subsidies in England were focused on environmental goods. Listen tomorrow at 5:45
