The newsletter – now into its fourth year – has proved popular with its target readership and regular feedback from readers has allowed Mr Stevenson to raise issues with Ministers at an early stage.
Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:
“I am delighted at the success of this publication. The idea was originally suggested to me by several farmers who I would meet with annually at the local shows and were keen to receive regular news on the issues affecting their industry at a political level.
“From this initial idea, it has now moved on to being an important tool in not only keeping the sector updated on my activities on its behalf and those of my colleagues, but it allows its readers to feedback their comments on particular issues or to raise new ones with me.”
