BROMSGROVE’S MP has showed his support for the county’s farmers during a national campaign supporting the vital British industry.
On Wedneday (September 11) the country celebrated British farmers and growers who work through rain and shine to produce ingredients underpinning the UK’s largest manufacturing sector, food and drink.
Bradley showed his support by wearing the inconic wheatsheaf pin badge during prime ministers question’s and attended the National Farmers’ Union Back British Farming Day parliamentary reception.
Worcestershire is a real microcosm when it comes to farming sectors, with 2,060 farms over more than 120,000 hectares generating £174 million to the economy, with 5,700 jobs.
Worcestershire farms also manage more than 5,300 hectares of farm woodland and help to maintain around 2,860 miles of public rights of way.
Bradley said: “British farmers and growers do a fantastic job of providing the nation with high-quality, climate-friendly food alongside being caretakers of our cherished landscapes.
“With all of us relying on farmers three times a day, farming is the backbone of our rural communities and I want to say a huge thank you to the farmers and growers in Bromsgrove and the Villages for playing a key role in our local economy and of course our country’s food security.
“I am proud to support Back British Farming Day I will continue to champion our farmers in Parliament all year round.”
