The MP for Copeland has formed a farming transition group aimed at supporting the local farming sector through the agricultural transition period. Following the the Government’s landmark Agriculture Bill receiving Royal Assent last month, Trudy Harrison MP has met with farmers and the NFU at Langley Park Farm in Waberthwaite to hear directly about their concerns and any challenges they face ahead of transitioning to the new payments system outside of the EU. Working with farmers and land managers across Copeland, Mrs Harrison’s support network will meet virtually on a monthly basis to assist in delivering communications on the agriculture sector and transition period.
