Portal launched to support farmers across Shropshire
An election hopeful has launched a portal to help farmers find support available for them.
Stuart Anderson, South Shropshire Conservatives Parliamentary Candidate, said it was part of his campaign to champion farmers.
It followed a recent visit by Farming Minister Mark Spencer for a Rural Q&A where the need for more support was a key issue.
Mr Anderson said: "Farmers are the beating heart of our rural economy, and I want to do all that I can to support them.
"So I have launched this support page to help them quickly and easily find the help that is available to them.
"This sector, worth more than £200 billion, plays an integral role in our rural economy. I welcome that the Government is backing British farmers with £2.4 billion of investment every year. This will help them produce food profitably and sustainably, while protecting nature and meeting our net zero ambitions.”
