Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. Given that farming communities and families are under so much pressure, what message will he send to the people who attend the agricultural shows? What solace can he give them, given the cost of diesel, the cost of fertiliser and the heavy burden placed on farming families by his net zero policies?
