Louise Hart, Jill Cawood, Justin Birch, Caroline Knox, Kay Reed, Richard Fisk, Robert Bradley and Paul Griffin were just some of the Farmers representing the Isle of Wight at a recent summit in London.
Blockades across the country
Last night (Thursday) hundreds of dairy farmers across the country blockaded milk processing plants in protest over how much they're paid.
Sites in Leeds, Somerset, Leicestershire and Kent were targeted.
The action is the latest in a series of protests by farmers who are angry that they could be paid less for their milk than the cost of producing it.
