Farming is crucial to the future of our economy, both nationally and here in Norfolk.

That’s why it was good to catch up recently with Dairy Farmer Ken Proctor on his farm in Shipdham, and hear the concerns of local farmers as we look towards leaving the EU.

Having grown up around a farming community, worked for the National Farmers’ Union and launched the first ever Agri-Tech Industrial Strategy back in 2013, I am determined to fight for the ongoing success of Norfolk farming, ensuring the Government continues to recognise the major contribution it makes to our rural economy.
