Farmers demonstrate their vital role to West Sussex MPs

Celebrating the contribution the arable sector makes to the nation’s economy, food supply and environment, the campaign has mobilised farmers to highlight the importance of the farming sector to MPs and other decision-makers during harvest and beyond.

Caroline Harriott, West Sussex NFU chairman, said: “While combines are very visible working in fields at this time of year, as farmers, we need to explain to decision-makers and consumers what we do with these high-tech machines and how it relates to the food that ends up on people’s plates.”
