“Some people are trying to call me an extremist or right-winger. There’s no one more middle of the road than me. Farmers who are protesting across Europe aren’t right-wing extremists. They are fighting for their futures.“

“After a lengthy court battle, rural villagers from Lincolnshire are celebrating a legal victory, after thwarting an energy company’s plans to convert prime agricultural land into a giant solar farm.”
Farmers have formed a tractor “go-slow” demonstration at the port of Dover in a protest against cheap food imports and market conditions that are putting their livelihoods at risk.

“The British countryside is glorious. It’s like that because of British farming. The farmers care the land, care about the environment and care about their animals. Stop demonising farmers.“

Due to overwhelming interest towards our X feed that was set up just 2 weeks ago, we have been working hard behind the scenes on a number of campaign initiatives that will be announced over the next few weeks. We will be publishing our mission statement in the next few days.
We are facing an ongoing cost of living crisis. Local businesses desperately need our support. Let’s shop and buy local from our amazing local businesses whenever we can. They are the backbone of our economy. Please retweet if you agree.
#buylocal
The reason we are gaining credibility is that we are a non partisan farming campaign. The public are sick and tired of everything being framed by political agendas. Farming is one of the few topics that shouldn’t have a political bias. Farming is a universal benefit for all.
Wales 🏴
Over 1,000 farmers attended a meeting last Thursday to discuss the future of farming in Wales amid growing anger against the Welsh government’s farming policy plans. It’s time for governments to really listen to the concerns of our farmers.

Farmers are receiving unfair low prices on their products from supermarkets, yet supermarket food prices continue to rise as they show record profits.
It’s time for governments to act and support farmers with fair prices from supermarkets.
#NoFarmersNoFood
#FairDealForFarmers
We have grown to 54,000 followers in just 3 weeks. The support has been extraordinary. But we intend to be much more than just an account on X. On Monday we will be publishing our mission statement (with statements from farmers) to announce our key campaigns.
#NoFarmersNoFoods
Farmers are receiving insultingly low payments on their products from supermarkets, yet supermarket food prices continue to rise as they show record profits.
It’s time for governments to act and support our farmers to ensure a fair price from supermarkets.

Solar panels should not be put on prime agricultural land. Put them on rooftops or brownfield land only. As stated in a proposed amendment to the Energy Bill.
Britain’s food security is under threat from a lack of effective flood protection. Farmer Andrew Ward
@wheat_daddy
calls out Environment Agency inaction to prevent Lincolnshire farmland flooding.
All over Europe, farmers are protesting over a range of policies and issues that are damaging their livelihoods. They also feel neglected and undermined by the governments. The majority of the public are supporting them because they feel the same too.

“Furious farmers are now ready to march. Back British Farmers. Now more than ever they require fair reward, political backing and a big hug. If they do protest, toot your horns out of love not anger.”

“Wiltshire Council is set to join a number of local authorities who are defying the plant-based movement in a show of support for farmers. Suffolk, Dorset, Cornwall, Portsmouth, Fenland, and North Northamptonshire Councils have also passed the motion.”
Please watch this video by farmer Mark Byford.
Farmers are under huge pressure on a number of different fronts. This is not helped by governments not listening to their concerns AND enforcing legislative measures that make life even more difficult for farmers.
