why are some mps wearing wheat

Some MPs are wearing wheat sheaf pin badges on their lapels in support of Back British Farming Day, which is held around September 10th each year. This event is organized by the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) for England and Wales to celebrate and highlight the importance of the British food and farming sector to the economy and communities. Wearing the wheat sheaf pin is a way for MPs to show their support for farmers and growers who play a vital role in feeding the nation and caring for the countryside. The tradition has been observed during PMQs and other parliamentary sessions to bring attention to agricultural issues and priorities.
