NFU Sugar is urging all beet growers to complete British Sugar’s post-campaign survey. The survey is a valuable feedback tool, enabling industry to benchmark the BDS, monitor levels of satisfaction, and assess the value of the BDS to growers.

We are proud sponsors with @_CharlesStanley of tonight’s Lloyd Addison’s Moveable Feast in aid of @ParkinsonsUK
We will be raising a glass to Lloyd & also to the late Richard Hughes of the @Assembly_House.
