Addressing politicians, food and farming industry leaders and journalists in Westminster, she outlined her vision for agriculture, stressing why she believes ‘farming’s future must be one based on teamwork, working with you all as Team Agriculture’.

“Welcome to a new era for the NFU, a new dawn for the countryside, and a new time for farming,” she said.
