Among those in attendance were our national NFU president Tom Bradshaw, who farms near Colchester in Essex and Kit Papworth, who farms near Aylsham in north Norfolk, who was there in his role as NFU Sugar Board chair.

We did see a show of real political support with much discussion on the challenges and opportunities for the industry, but now is not the time to take our foot off the pedal especially with trade deals being negotiated and the Autumn Budget looming ever closer on November 26.
