"It's been very, very disappointing."
The summer's prolonged dry conditions have led to farmers harvesting a month earlier than planned. The National Farmer's Union president says the resilience of our food system should be a national priority.

Thanks to @JoshNewburyMP for asking the PM to protect farmers from increasing costs due to the conflict in the Middle East. We were pleased to hear the PM announce duty on red diesel will be temporarily cut, reducing cost pressure on NFU members.

Yesterday, the NFU @wwf_uk and @RSPCA_PATeam held an event in Parliament to discuss introducing core standards. This would ensure that British farmers aren't undermined by imports which don't meet our standards. We'd like to thank all attendees and @MattWestern_ for sponsoring.

After seven years of NFU lobbying a new law comes into effect today giving farm animals better protection from dog attacks. Unlimited fines can now be handed to irresponsible dog owners.

(2/2) NFU Hertfordshire County Adviser Freya Samuel-Smith told @BBCLondonNews it is time for change and fly-tipping victims should not be responsible for huge clear-up costs, while criminals continue to make a fortune and get away with it.

(1/2) Archie Ford, who raised over £50,000 for a farmer to clear a huge fly-tip, travelled to Hertfordshire to meet him. The victim's friend, Will Dickinson, said the public support shows how much people oppose a law that turns a victim into a criminal. @NFUPress @BBCLondonNews
