FARMING MATTERS: Farming life after Brexit
Speaking generally however, what I can say is that whilst fully respecting differing opinions on the subject I was surprised and personally relieved by the result, and I look forward to the future when farmers will no longer be so tightly regulated with many pointless rules and regulations coming our way from Brussels.

Until Article 50 discussions are completed, British farmers will still need to comply will all existing EU legislation. And focus is also being given to developing a new domestic agricultural policy adapted to the needs of British farmers in an independent UK.
