In this week’s vlog, NFU President Tom Bradshaw and Livestock Board Chair David Barton give an analysis of the current situation regarding lack of rainfall, and update on work behind the scenes calling for derogations to help farmers manage in these difficult times.

We also include a string of media clips from this week, featuring NFU Vice-president Rachel Hallos being interviewed about the situation in a series of national television interviews.
