Trade deals, the US market for lamb and sustainable food production were top of the agenda when Farmers’ Union of Wales (FUW) officials met with Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Wales Office) and Monmouthshire MP David TC Davies and Wales Office representative in the House of Lords, Baroness Bloomfield.
Opening the gates to her farm was FUW member and former Brecon and Radnor County FUW Chair Kath Shaw, who runs a 75 acres deer farm at Blaenhow Farm, near Builth Wells.
Speaking about the benefits of venison as part of the diet, Kath explained: “Venison is slowly gaining popularity as more people become aware of its health benefits such as it being low in fat and high in iron and protein. The food we grow here is produced sustainably and we work with nature in many ways.
