A complete sell out of the UK egg industry, allowing Ukraine to export sub standard eggs to the UK for another 2 years and undermine the UK market. Support for the Ukraine should come from general taxation, not from the UK Agricultural industry.

We’re proposing changes to egg labelling 🥚 To support the egg industry during bird flu outbreaks, our consultation proposes eggs from free-range birds can retain this label regardless of how long mandatory housing measures are in place. Read more: gov.uk/government/news/propo…

Another great example of NFU delivering for its members 🫑 🍅 It’s now ESSENTIAL that poultry production is included. Processors are but not producers 🐓🐔👇

'Why on earth would they be importing eggs produced to standards that would be illegal in the UK?' Well said @Minette_Batters Thank you! 2000% (two thousand) increase in the number off eggs imported from Poland into the UK. A good article @guardiannews

Heart breaking scenes from Scotland
Farmers Weekly@FarmersWeekly9 Oct 2023
😞 Farmers and crofters in Scotland are facing serious losses and a lengthy clean up after heavy rainfall caused flooding across parts of the country. Niall Shaw uploaded footage of dozens of silage bales being washed away down the River Array in Inverary over the weekend.

Latest national dairy cow numbers for the UK is down by nearly 50%. Meanwhile the number of cars has increased from 1.6mln to 33.2mln in the UK alone over the same period. Less cows, more cars but still it’s ruminants to blame for global warming. Good one.

For the record I want ELMS to deliver for environment & food, be profitable for ALL farmers. NO option for Upland farmers & not enough detail/reward for others in SFI is unacceptable. We must take time to get this right. Facing such injustice in the last 48hrs has been unbearable

Hats off to the Scottish farmers who stole the show today with their tractor tribute scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/n…

Tractor tribute to Queen Elizabeth was 'beautiful' and 'moving' say viewers

The farmers lined up their tractors and combine harvesters in the fields for a guard of honour by the A83 in Aberdeenshire – but the BBC was criticised for not making more of the incident
