CAN YOU tell the difference between barley and wheat? The National Farmers Union doesn't think most members of the public can and is campaigning to change this. To emphasise the link between beautiful countryside and its ultimate purpose of food production, the NFU is putting up explanatory posters on crops, with details on crop husbandry and the work farmers do to conserve wildlife and the environment. An arable fact sheet will also be produced and distributed at NFU roadshows and agricultural events during the summer.
