Celebrating UK ag through #Farm24 can help combat loneliness, says Eustice

Mr Eustice, who is backing the campaign, said he hoped #Farm24 would show farmers how much the public values the work they do.

“The issue with agriculture, and it has been a problem which has always existed, is for some sectors in particular, farming can be quite a lonely pursuit,” he said.

“We do sometimes have problems in agriculture of loneliness and isolation and people suffering low mood.

“Celebrating the work farmers do through Farmers Guardian’s #Farm24 campaign can really help people understand the work they do is valued by our country, and crucially, in this time of great change, the UK Government is going to stand side-by-side with them to help them through any issues which may arise.”
