Farmers Weekly Awards, Recognising Unsung Heroes
The motion
That the Parliament supports the Farmers Weekly Awards in celebrating the very best in British agriculture by recognising hard-working and innovative farmers from across the entire UK; notes that there are multiple categories, including those for the Arable and Diversification farmers of the year, with nominations closing on 30 April 2020; encourages the nominations of the farmers whom it believes are true unsung heroes of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, by working extraordinarily hard to meet food production demands; notes that everyone in the farming sector is continuing to work throughout the pandemic, producing high-quality produce for the nation, and sends its best wishes and thanks to all farmers, farm workers and other key agricultural workers for their commitment and response to the outbreak.
