The Pembrokeshire branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales is looking forward to three busy days at the Pembrokeshire County Show (Tuesday 16 - Thursday 18 August).
“We will have displays asking farmers for their views on what matters to them during the Brexit discussions and what they view as priority issues and we will highlight the impact the industry has on the wider rural community and economy, how many other businesses in rural areas rely on agriculture and the importance of the industry being financially strong and healthy,” said FUW Pembrokeshire County Executive Officer Rebecca Voyle.
In addition, FUW staff and officials will meet with Simon Hart MP, Paul Davies AM and Neil Hamilton AM during the show to discuss issues of local concern, including how the current state of bovine TB might impact on UK trade negotiations and other #FarmingMatters.
“If you’re looking to make a head start on your Christmas preparations, you can purchase Christmas cards and 2017 calendars from the RABI, who will be joining us on the Wednesday afternoon between 2pm and 3pm. All of the proceeds are going to the charity.
“I look forward to seeing many of our members at the show and extend a warm welcome to all everyone who wants talk about #FarmingMatters to join us for a cup of tea at the stand,” she added.
For those attending the show needing advice on local nutrient management initiatives and renewing agricultural waste management exemptions, the FUW has arranged for staff from Natural Resources Wales to be at the Union stand every day of the show between 10am and 2pm.
