3084 viewsTwo weeks on from the momentous decision by the British public to leave the European Union, discussions are starting to take place to decide on what a post-Brexit Britain could look like for farmers.
Adam Bedford, regional director at NFU North East, said it’s time to ‘roll our sleeves up and have a blank sheet of paper to craft a policy that works very well for farmers.’
Amidst the widespread political uncertainty that has followed Brexit, Adam called for assurances around issues of income, trade and regulation.
He said that the NFU was now at the beginning of the biggest farming consultation in a generation to get the policy right. It is calling on farmers to engage and have their say to make sure the policy is right for them and their businesses in the future.
