There are just a few days left to win a family membership of the National Trust by entering a competition featured in the NFU's Good Food, Good Farming booklet.
The publication is packed with facts about how British farmers manage the countryside as well as a providing a plentiful supply of healthy, nutritious food.
With 75% of the UK landscape managed by farmers, Good Food, Good Farming explains how they take their roles as guardians of the countryside very seriously. British farmers maintain important features including hedges, copses and farm ponds which are home to species such as birds, barn owls, deer, ducks and frogs. To download a copy simply click here.
