In this week's vlog, NFU Deputy President David Exwood takes the reins in Tom’s absence and reminds us that many farmers are still suffering from the effects of dry weather, despite some recent rain.

David also talks about contacting Defra Minister Daniel Zeichner about the Fruit and Vegetable Aid Scheme which is due to close at the end of the year, and the recent ATV safety campaign in collaboration with NFU Cymru, NFU Scotland, and the Ulster Farmers’ Union.

NFU Vice-president Rachel Hallos also talks about NFU Education’s recent groundbreaking AgriFutures campaign, which saw 22 Year 9 students from diverse backgrounds gain a valuable insight into the agriculture industry. 

Finally, a reminder that 10 September is Back British Farming Day. Find out how you can lend your support on the day with our social media toolkit.
