Jeremy Quin, Member of Parliament for Horsham, joined the new Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) Secretary Steve Barclay on a visit to Weston’s Farm.
The visit was Mr Barclay’s first farm visit in his role and the team at Weston’s were able to talk through productivity, innovation and the future of the sector.
Jeremy said “It is great that Mr Barclay chose Horsham to conduct his first farm visit in his new role. We can rely on our farmers to provide us with high quality food and world-leading environmental and animal husbandry standards. I am pleased that their contribution and the contribution of our local farmers has been recognised.
I was also delighted to be able to present Mr Barclay with Rudgwick’s own “Sussex Charmer” Cheese. A local product which I know is enjoyed by many locally and further afield."
