00:08 sign it, farmers, food and farming commission, lots of campaigners in the area, we've even

00:14 had the House of Lords Select Committee on Horticulture call for more or less the same

00:19 thing, yet we're getting this just just complete silence from supermarkets and complete silence

00:30 food is cheap, you know our countryside is being desecrated because that's the only way

00:46 they'll be out of business next year. I urge everyone to get online, sign that petition,

00:51 get fair about farming, let's get to the 100,000 signatories when the government is then actually
