UK MPs in Westminster wore wheat on their lapels today, here’s the reason

The National Farmers Union (NFU) is hosting a celebration of British farming today, November 2, called Back British Farming Day.

For its seventh year, British Farmers' Day has promoted a greater understanding of the role British farmers play in the economy while urging the Conservative government to assist the sector in the face of rising costs, labour difficulties, difficulties they face and supply chain disruptions.

The National Farmers' Union of Scotland has voiced concern that the United Kingdom's intention to forge trade deals with countries like Australia and New Zealand in the wake of Brexit may undermine the high standards of animal care maintained by Scottish cattle farmers.


Each year on this particular day, the NFU tells its supporters to "enjoy all the great things about our business," a phrase that echoes its consistent call for public and parliamentary support of farmers all year round.

Some of the most notable politicians in the United Kingdom, including former prime ministers, have worn wheat as a show of support.


This year, many members of parliament have nominated farmers and producers for the NFU's Community Farming Heroes award, which is celebrated on Back British Farming Day.

The rising cost of living, rising energy costs, declining food supplies, and unpredictable weather are some of the challenges farmers faces. Batters hope to work with the government to solve these issues.
