Thousands more took part in the annual celebration of British food and farming than ever before and support flooded in for farmers up and down the country.
From 5am on Thursday, August 8 to 5am on Friday, August 9, #Farm24 exploded on Twitter, trending alongside #InternationalCatDay and #TransferDeadlineDay.
Farmers across the country showcased their daily lives, work and challenges to millions and top influencers in Boris Johnson, Sara Cox, James Martin, The National Trust, Raymond Blanc, Steph McGovern, Deborah Meaden and Simon Rimmer encouraged the public to thank British farmers for the hard work they do every day of the year.

The number of grassroots farmers taking part exceeded all expectations and is a testament to the resilience and passion of our country’s food producers and countryside custodians.
Farmers Guardian editor Ben Briggs said: "24 Hours in Farming once again showcased the high standards, innovation and diversity at the heart if British agriculture and, importantly, the people who produce the food that feeds the nation.
"It is so important that, as an industry, we promote the industry we are so proud of and that is why 24 Hours in Farming plays such a key role in shouting about British farming to a wide and varied audience.
"With Morrisons once again supporting the event, it was great to see more farmers than ever before sharing the #Farm24 hashtag and making it the number one social media event of the year for British ag."

Coming from an ex-farming family and have since spent my life promoting it...if you want to understand food, first you need to understand how hard it is to produce. Only then will you respect it and have a greater respect for the people who produce it for us all #Farm24 pic.twitter.com/OMRc2023yn
