Absolutely no doubt we are facing our worst beet yields ever. This crop is at 50% yield potential and that figure is dropping

A Union Jack.
“Made in the UK since 1878.”
Your average shopper could be forgiven for believing they are buying British sugar.
They are not.

Wheat harvest finished on July 16 - could easily have done it yesterday as it happens.

NFU Sugar is urging all beet growers to complete British Sugar’s post-campaign survey. The survey is a valuable feedback tool, enabling industry to benchmark the BDS, monitor levels of satisfaction, and assess the value of the BDS to growers.

Thank you to my MP @JeromeMayhew for his support.
Referencing his own life on a family farm, @JeromeMayhew called on the Government to show humility and consult on the best way forward to tackle tax avoidance without threating British farmers and food security. 3/4

We are proud sponsors with @_CharlesStanley of tonight’s Lloyd Addison’s Moveable Feast in aid of @ParkinsonsUK
We will be raising a glass to Lloyd & also to the late Richard Hughes of the @Assembly_House.
Let’s hope we can all beat last year’s £21,000 fundraising total.
