Potato grower lends a hand to fundraising efforts of rowing farmers

Staffordshire-based potato grower and crisp producer Anthony Froggatt has produced a special edition run of his Just Crisps brand, to help raise the profile of fellow farmers Rod Adlington and Guy Minshall, who are rowing across the Atlantic for charity.

Turkey farmer Rod and arable farmer Guy are now well into their crossing, having set off from Lanzarote to row to Antigua on 3 January – a journey that is expected to take about six weeks.

Called The Brightsides, the crew is aiming to raise £250,000 for cancer charity Get A-Head and Meningitis Now, in memory of Rod’s son Barney, who succumbed to meningitis aged just three.
