The NFU has asked the Treasury for support in five key areas including a UK-wide £5.6 billion annual budget, a cross-government biosecurity plan, and a review on the clawback solution for changes to Inheritance Tax
NFU horticulture and potatoes board chair Martin Emmett said he wanted to see a dedicated scheme for horticulture that did not ‘cross paths' with other initiatives or sectors
Grant Hartman, chair of MMG dairy farmers said farmers he had spoken to were ‘frustrated' but were comforted by the fact Muller had confirmed no farmer will lose out
It is estimated the dairy industry will need to spend £3.9 billion over the next 10 years to improve its climate resilience, which he said worked out at around £500,000 for each farm – or an additional 2.4 pence per litre
NFU livestock board chair David Barton said with investment from the Government and the entire supply chain, the beef sector could meet 'growing global demand, while aligning with climate and environment ambitions'
