CLA responds to farming minister’s open letter to the industry about the Campaign for the Farmed Environment

CLA responds to farming minister’s open letter to the industry about the Campaign for the Farmed Environment

CLA President William Worsley said: "This is a critical year for the Campaign and land managers need to act now while we have the chance.

"We need to show what we in the industry already know - that England's farmers can be relied upon to conserve the natural environment so long as we are provided with the right opportunities, information and incentives.  We don't need a return to the bad old days of top-down regulation. 
 
"It is vital, particularly as spring approaches, that everyone supports the Campaign.  Whether it is cultivating a fallow plot for ground nesting birds or leaving an arable margin uncropped to benefit rare arable plants, we all need to do our bit - and to be seen to be doing out bit."
