The deadline is fast approaching for farmers to have their say on the government’s consultation on the Future of Food, Farming and the Environment.

A reader writes: "This consultation is very important for all farmers as it could be make or break for some, and particularly so for family dairy farms."

The consultation closes on May 8. All you need to do is email your views to Defra via agricultureconsultation@defra.gsi.gov.uk.
