The NFU will call for family farms to be supported and their significant contribution to jobs, the economy and rural tourism to be recognised and properly valued at tomorrow's Shropshire County Show.Farming leaders will attend the one-day industry showcase and call for commitments on county food production which plays a key role in contributing more than £400 million to Shropshire’s economy.
According to Visit Shopshire the county welcomes more than 10 million visitors a year, generating more than £767 million into the local economy and supporting nearly 8,500 jobs. “The value of crops harvested, milk produced and livestock reared can’t be underestimated, and it is all thanks to the hard work of our county farmers, growers and their families and staff."“The wet weather over the winter and spring has caused unprecedented issues with the addition of on-going labour shortages and rising production costs and I’m looking forward to discussing what more we can do to ensure our farms are supported both now and in the future.
