The farmers in Sedgefield work hard around the clock to keep great quality food on our plates.
Our farmers are the engine of our rural economy, bringing jobs and opportunity to our area. I will always always back our farmers and the latest round of announcements recognise the importance of coordinated action across government to support confidence, investment and growth in British food.
I look forward to my continued work with the Prime Minister, the Defra Secretary and the rest of the cabinet to Back British farming and bolster our domestic food security.
