Forage maize needs to be knee high by 4th July so we're pretty proud here Bothen Hill of the height of our sweet corn. Just hope it produces delicious cobs #supportbritishfarmers

It's not just fruit and veg farmers supplying supermarkets who are struggling. Cheese producers are feeling the squeeze too according to The Grocer. We need to #GetFairAboutFarming. Sign our petition here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6432… thegrocer.co.uk/dairy/cheese-s…

Our research has shown that farmers feel they aren't being treated fairly by supermarkets. Food, Farming and Countryside Commission's new study shows that citizens are worried about this issue too. It's all there in black and white! We need to #getfairaboutfarming. Petition: getfairaboutfarming.co.uk

Against this backdrop, it’s vitally important to support UK farmers and #GetFairAboutFarming to build resilience in our food system. Despite over 60k of you signing our petition, we’ve had radio silence from supermarkets and gov. Add your voice here: getfairaboutfarming.co.uk
