The National Farmers' Union (NFU), representing farmers in England and Wales, has re-elected Minette Batters as president of the organisation.
She was re-elected at the NFU council’s AGM, where Stuart Roberts was elected as deputy president and Tom Bradshaw as vice-president.
The beef farmer from Wiltshire said: “I am so proud to be able to represent the NFU’s 46,000 farmer and grower members at this critical time when the future for Britain’s food and farming industry will be shaped.
Challenging
“The next couple of years are going to be challenging for our sector and we need the farming industry to speak with one voice; whether it's campaigning to ensure our food standards aren’t undermined by trade deals that allow sub-standard food imports into the country or working with the government, stakeholders and wider industry to lead the global charge in producing climate-friendly food. I am determined that the NFU will do everything in its power to lead our industry into a profitable, productive and thriving future.”
