Steve Brine attended the Parliamentary launch of a National Farmers Union campaign promoting British farming on Monday 21st May.
The campaign, which also has the backing of Fast Show comedian Simon Day, aims to outline how farming contributes to modern Britain, from jobs and the economy to the environment, animal welfare, clean energy, food security and Red Tractor produce.
In supporting the campaign, Mr Day said: "You don't think about the environmental side of things, or that three quarters of the country is kept by farmers, or how much they contribute to the economy. Choosing a London voice, rather than a cartoon with some cows and a farmer in it, is a good way of doing it.
"It will hopefully make people stop and think. You got the right man for the job – I am Mr Farmer. Even though you wouldn't know it to look at me."
Steve Brine added: "I was delighted to be asked to come along to the campaign launch today, and I know how much this matters to many of my constituents. There are so many reasons why farming contributes to our country, and I am fully behind the NFU and their campaign."
