industry and the rural environment in general. The Treasury is said to be strongly opposed to any successor system of farm support. It is rumoured that there is a lobby for a return to the old system of deficiency payments – more senior members of the trade may remember the arrangements in place prior to the UK’s accession to the European Economic Community (EEC) as it was then.
The UK is about to embark on a momentous journey, with
potentially major effects on the agricultural supply industry’s business environment. What is worrying is that no clear vision has yet emerged as to what role agriculture and its attendant industries should play in post-Brexit Britain. It is to be hoped that such a vision will emerge during the coming months of the New Year.
TWO CHRIS’S TO CONQUER THEIR ‘CYCLING EVEREST’ FOR CHARITY
Two members of the Yorkshire farming community are set to cycle the length of New Zealand in less than three weeks to raise funds and support for Parkinson’s UK and mental health charity Claro Enterprises. Chris I’Anson, Managing Director of farm feeds business
I’Anson Bros Limited and Chris Brown MBE, arable farmer and mountaineer, will depart from the UK in late January 2018, after months of training. The pair will cycle over 2,200km (around 1,500 miles),
accompanied and supported by driver Paul Smith, which will take them from the very top of the North Island at Cape Reinga down to the southernmost tip of the South Island at Bluff. They aim to complete the ride in 19 days, averaging over 85 miles per day. The money raised via the team’s Virgin Money Giving page
will be shared equally between the national charity Parkinson’s UK, which supports people living with a progressive neurological condition and funds research into it, and local charity Claro Enterprises, which helps improve the quality of life and improve employment prospects for people with mental health problems. Chris Brown MBE, who is one of the few Britons to climb the
seven highest peaks in each continent, said: “Parkinson’s UK and Claro Enterprises are both important charities which do amazing work nationally and locally within the Yorkshire region. Both myself and Chris are keen members of Ripon Runners but as there’s over 75,000 feet of climbs to pedal up, this will be our cycling Everest.
“We have been training hard and are looking forward to flying
out to New Zealand. With the public’s help we would love to raise as much money as we possibly can.” Chris I’Anson commented: “When Chris came to me with the idea
of a charity cycle ride across New Zealand, I just couldn’t say no. It is going to be tough mentally and physically, however it is for two very worthwhile causes and knowing that all the money raised will be going to great charities will keep us going over the 2,200km journey.” Donations are warmly welcomed through the team’s Virgin Money Giving page, please visit
