The Farmers’ Union of Wales is putting the spotlight on #FarmingMatters at this years NSA Welsh Sheep, which is held on Tuesday, May 16, at Llwyn Bedw, Talybont-on-Usk, Brecon.
Through its #FarmingMatters campaign the Union aims to demonstrate why agriculture and rural communities must be a priority in terms of negotiating our departure from the EU and beyond, and members will be able to pick up their copy of the FUW’s General Election 2017 Manifesto.
FUW Marketing and Membership Manager Teleri Fielden said: “We are excited to once again join the NSA Welsh Sheep event and look forward to welcoming our members to the stand.
“Our staff are on hand to provide advice on #FarmingMatters and there is even a chance to enter our Spring Sheep hamper competition worth £150. We have partnered with CCF to provide a variety of useful equipment such as drenching guns, marker sprays and foot rot shears, to give you a head start this spring.

“Also not be missed is the seminar on ‘Future models for public money towards farming’, which is being chaired by our Head of Policy Dr Nick Fenwick. The event is being held in the seminar area between 12.30pm and 1.20pm, to which all are welcome.”
In addition, the FUW has renewed its pledge to support the Farmers Guardian ‘Take the Lead’ campaign and will be handing out new gatepost signs to members.
“Increased numbers of livestock worrying incidents remain a major concern for the industry and we are pleased to pledge our continued support to the campaign. The public needs to be aware of how dangerous their pets can be to livestock if they are being chased or, even worse, attacked by dogs on the loose. We will continue to do our utmost to highlight the need for responsible dog ownership amongst the farming and non-farming community,” added Teleri.
