- Full house for NFU Sugar's meeting at @NewmarketRace tonight. Thank you to all growers for your continued support 💪. Roll on Lincolnshire Showground tomorrow 🙌 #UnitedWeStand
- Our chairman Michael Sly has issued this statement on the emergency application for neonicotinoid use on sugar beet in 2021 nfuonline.com/sectors/nfu-su…
- Today we had a great opportunity at No.10 with @mhssly and @NFUPolitical to talk all about UK sugar beet - the importance of homegrown sugar, the coordination needed across government to make precision breeding a reality and how free trade agreements affect UK beet growers.
- Congratulations to @mhssly who has been re-elected for another one year term as NFU Sugar Board Chairman and to @sjsmithfarms who has re-elected as Vice-Chairman. Well done to you both.
- 🏆Thank you to all our growers who have pledged their support for the vital role of NFU Sugar in securing a fair sugar beet price for growers 📜We're delighted to see that in less than 48 hours we reached well over 1,000 pledges ✅We appreciate your continued support
- ✅️ We welcome Defra's clear direction that all parties continue to follow the well established process to agree a sugar beet price ❗️This process cannot function effectively whilst British Sugar is making unilateral offers to beet growers outside of it nfuonline.com/updates-and-in…
- *2024/25 Sugar Beet Contract Agreed* ✅💪 NFU Sugar Chair, Michael Sly 🗣️“I would like to thank growers for their overwhelming support. It should be clear to everyone that grower unity with NFU Sugar has delivered this deal." nfuonline.com/updates-and-in…
- Urgent message sent from Michael Sly, NFU Sugar chair, to all beet growers earlier today. We are outraged that British Sugar contacted all growers earlier today and provided growers with a document which asserts to contain details of the 2024/25 Sugar Beet Contract Offer. (1/2)
- The #sugarindustryprogramme2019 has finished for another year following presentation training & a farewell dinner. Thank you to a fantastic group, who have shared great ideas & made lasting friendships. We look forward to keeping in touch and sharing the #BackBritishSugar story!
- 📢❄️Official confirmation that 2022 Frost Insurance policy has been triggered.❄️You do not need to do anything - All eligible growers have had a valid claim lodged. We are working with @BritishSugar to co-ordinate the claim. Look in your inbox for our joint message earlier today.
