A COE Farmers thank ASDA ATDNE


Ribble Valley. Mr Hendrick is drumming up support among Euro MPs for a subsidy aimed specifically at wool produc­


been produced in Lancashire for centuries, yet it is not part of the European Common Agricultural Policy. The reason l am trying to drum up support for this initiative is so that areas such as the Ribble Val­ ley, where sheep rearing and wool production were once a major industry, will receive a boost.”


NFU leaders in the North West have written to a supermarket chief to thank him for moving to stock only British beef in the company’s stores.


The chairmen of Cumbria, Lanca­


shire and Cheshire NFU county branches have thanked Mr Archie Nor­


man, of ASDA, for his “courageous” decision.


Immediately prior to its British- beef-only stance, the company was


sourcing around 25% of its beef from other countries, including Brazil, Argentina and Australia.


Steve Heaton: “Farmers in our region are very grateful for this initiative, which will continue the process of res­ toring consumer confidence. We would hope that other farmers will follow the lead of our county chairmen and write to ASDA expressing their support for this welcome decision.”
