Go behind the scenes of farms across the UK to learn about different crops, animals and machinery. As we kicked off the first week of our #LockdownLearning hub with NFU Education, we asked farmers to share videos to help you learn.
This is what they’ve been up to….
Supermarkets may sell food but it’s the 1000’s of farmers who together feed the nation, as we always have. Every joint of meat, litre of milk, bag of veg and loaf of bread has its own story. It’s time to fall in love with food again. What’s your #foodstory. #foodarmy pic.twitter.com/9RtiulRXHW

Vaccinated the latest lambs to go outside and gave a booster to the few gimmers in with them. Always feels better when they’re up to date and we can enjoy watching them grow now! #HappyEaster #stillworking #GoodFriday2020 #lambing2020 #LockdownLearning pic.twitter.com/ov1fHEqMRY
