Your NFU membership – standing together for the future of farming

As the 2024-2025 membership year comes to a close, NFU President Tom Bradshaw urges NFU members to stand together to achieve the future that farming deserves.

The last 12 months have been among the most challenging in recent memory for farming. Throughout this time, the NFU has been at the forefront of fighting for our industry.

From stopping the worst aspects of trade deals and Defra cuts, to challenging the closure of the Sustainable Farming Incentive, and leading the charge on water issues and farm safety, we’ve been making the case for British farming and influencing government policy.

We’re also fighting tirelessly, both in public and behind the scenes, against the government’s proposed changes to Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief through our Stop the Family Farm Tax campaign.

These changes would place cruel and unsustainable pressure on already-struggling farms, with life-changing consequences for many.

Through continued lobbying, we’re fighting to make sure ministers and MPs can’t ignore the strength of opposition across our industry.

Together, we're stronger

None of this would be possible without you. The brilliant people we have working on your behalf, often behind the scenes, are only there because of our members.

No other organisation represents English and Welsh farming like the NFU. And that genuine representation, shown to ministers and policymakers through our membership, gives you the most powerful voice possible.

By working together, we can achieve the future that farming deserves – and that the country needs.

We are a vital part of the economy.ÌýWe are the industry that feeds the nation.ÌýWe are the custodians of the natural environment.

But unless we stand together, we are just individual farms.

Thank you for standing with your fellow farmers and growers.

Tom Bradshaw – NFU President
