"Exercise your democratic right, support your association and VOTE NOW!"

NPA chairman Richard Lister has challenged Shadow Farming Minister David Drew to justify Labour's opposition to so-called 'mega farms'. 

NPA policy services manager Lizzie Wilson returns to work today, following maternity leave.

Michael Gove will outline plans today to use funding under a future domestic agricultural policy to incentivise higher welfare standards on farms.
