Andrew Miller Labour MP for Ellemere Port & Neston met with NFU representative Carl Hudspeth at Rowlands' family farm in Mickle Trafford.  A discussion took place looking at why farming matters in the forthcoming general election.  Andrew said, 'Agriculture is an important industry both for producing our food but also in maintaining our countryside on a sustainable basis.  Farmers also play an essential role in protecting our diverse wildlife.' 

The NFU are planning to meet all candidates to ensure they are properly briefed on the “NFU manifesto”
