The Farmers’ Union of Wales has appointed a former Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG) Cymru farm conservation adviser as its new county executive officer for Montgomeryshire.
Mr Emyr Wyn Davies hails from the county and was educated at Ysgol Bro Ddyfi, Machynlleth. After leaving school he attended Coleg Llysfasi before subsequently attending Aberystwyth University.
Before commencing work with the FUW Emyr dealt with Agri-environment schemes, nutrient management plans and S.S.S.I (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) designations as part of his role with FWAG Cymru and covered the North and Mid Wales areas.
Having worked for FWAG Cymru when the Glastir scheme came into force enabled Emyr to gain a sound knowledge of the most recent subsidies applicable to Welsh farmers.
“I aim to build on the relationships I have already formed by applying myself in my new capacity as the county executive officer for Montgomeryshire. I relish a new challenge and look forward to taking the FUW into its next chapter,” said Mr Davies.
