Jess meets farmer

Jess spent the morning on the farm with Paul Veltom.  They spent the time talking about the challenges farmers face, particularly around subsidies, post-brexit access to vaccinations and fertilizers, changing legislation.

Food security as a nation is another important topic that we all should be concerned about.

Farming is an essential and tough business to be part of, the rise in rural crime is a real issue in some parts of the constituency.

Jess extended her thanks to Paul and the National Farmers Union and looks forward to working with them more closely in the future.
