Here I go again! Media siding with the supermarkets. All farmers want is a fair price, they’ve already upped the price for you as the consumer why can’t it filter down to us so we can cover costs?? #payfarmersfair – at Wales, United Kingdom

Retailers hiding behind the excuse of avian influenza is incredibly disingenuous when the major driver for a lack of eggs is down to retailers piling pressure after pressure after pressure on margins. Farmers have warned time and again this would happen but they wouldn’t listen. – at East, England

Share this far and wide.. Avian Flu is not the main reason we’re in an egg shortage. Supermarkets doing as they please again. #eggshortage #backbritishfarming

I’m currently losing £7k a month because @Tesco still refuse 2pay a fair price 4 our free range eggs plus there is enough free range eggs produced in the UK, but selling caged eggs is simply no excuse & rubbing salt. Sort it out @tesco – at Wales, United Kingdom

We are in the midsts of a huge crisis in the #freerange egg industry. Feed prices, processing costs & AI are hobbling the industry. Genuine concern that movement on egg prices aren’t going to be swift or high enough and huge financial losses are looming over the industry 1/7

Today I visited Barford Park Farm in Wiltshire to discuss Labour's support for British farmers. Next week, Labour will vote to put Britain’s high food and farming standards into law.

“We could be about to open the floodgates to a whole raft of low-quality food that would normally be illegal in the UK” - @jamieoliver urges @BorisJohnson not to betray British farmers and our high food standards in future trade deals 👏🏻🇬🇧 google.com/amp/s/www.dailyma…

Guess it was to be expected after the winter rain! Mother Nature always balances herself out? Seems to be a worrying pattern developing last few years. Very hard to now grow decent profit making arable crops with extreme weather events.

Several sites in S Britain are now 3 weeks without a single drop of rain. This follows the 8th driest April on record in the UK. So far this month East Anglia has received just 6% of the average May rainfall, making it -currently- the driest May on record in a series back to 1862

We won't stop sharing this video from @Minette_Batters's #NFU20 speech until our government commits in law that food imports produced to standards that would be illegal in the UK will not be allowed into our country 👊 #BackBritishFarming #NFU20
