Local MP Robbie Moore has shown his support for British farmers and growers this week, celebrating the high-quality, environmentally friendly and nutritious food they produce for the country.
Back British Farming Day, a celebration from the National Farmers' Union which took place on Wednesday, 13th September is a celebration and appreciation of a job ranked by the British public as one of the most important and well-respected professions, second only to nursing.
To mark the occasion, MP Robbie Moore attended a Farming reception at Downing Street alongside farmers from across the UK to discuss what more can be done to support the farming sector, as well as wearing the emblem of Back British Farming Day during Prime Minister’s Questions; a wheatsheaf pin badge made of wool and wheat sourced from UK farms.
Before becoming the town’s MP, Mr Moore spent his life in agriculture, growing up on his family’s farm in Lincolnshire before training to be a chartered rural surveyor.
Since being elected, Mr Moore has served as a member of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Robbie Moore MP said:
“I am incredibly proud to represent farmers and growers across Keighley, Ilkley, Silsden and the Worth Valley. Our farmers work tirelessly, going above & beyond to grow & produce the very best food for us all to enjoy. Let’s never forget; No Farmers, No Food, No Future. To celebrate #BackBritishFarmingDay this week, andI want to thank all involved in the food & farming sector. You will always have my support.”
