On Thursday 24th September, South Leics MP, Alberto Costa along with Mark Pawsey MP, met with NFU members and local farmers at Cestersover Farm, Pailton to listen to the concerns of farmers from the region.
Alberto said “Mark and I listened very carefully to the issues raised by farmers particularly about the low prices being paid to farmers for their milk and other food products. I have written to DEFRA on behalf of a constituent seeking its views on some of these issues. We have to raise awareness of the quality of English farming products and that fairer prices should be paid to those in our community that produce our milk and food.”
