WEST WORCESTERSHIRE MP Dame Harriett Baldwin joined hundreds of local people celebrating the next generation of farmers at a gathering in Martley.
The MP attended the Worcestershire young farmers rally to see young people taking part in a wide range of activities from auctioneering to butchery and millinery and model making.
The celebration of rural activities took place at Noak Farm in Martley last Saturday and Dame Harriett toured the site with county young farmers representatives and local Malvern Hills District Councillor Barbara Jones-Williams.
Dame Harriett said: “As a former Young Farmer myself, I know how important these gatherings are to showcase local talent as well as being a great way to bring young people together in their community.
“There was so much talent on display and it is heartening to see the next generation of farmers standing up for their way of life.
“Without another generation of young farmers, we will lose our ability to grow our own food.
“A Conservative Government would abolish the Family Farm Tax to ensure that the next generation of farmers can feel confident that there is a future in food production.”
