The Gwent branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales is looking forward to a busy day at Monmouth Show (Thursday 25 August) highlighting that #FarmingMatters and will welcome all including local politicians including Chair of the Welsh Affairs Select Committee David Davies MP and Nick Ramsey AM, to discuss on farm policy and funding post Brexit at the Union stand throughout the day.
FUW Gwent County Executive Officer Glyn Davies said: “We look forward to discussing #FarmingMatters at the stand with our members and elected politicians and extend a warm welcome for members, guests and friends of the FUW, as in previous years, to join us on the day. Union officials and staff will be on hand to answer questions our members may have.”
The County Show dates back to the late 17th Century and has over 20,000 visitors each year, who all enjoy a taste of farming and the countryside at the stunning showground on the banks of the River Wye in Monmouth.
“Our county show, just like so many others across Wales, are an excellent shop window for our industry; showcasing not just the best of our livestock and food production but also highlight how many other businesses are reliant on the survival of our farming industry. Here at Monmouth Show we will be looking forward to an outstanding Grand Parade of British livestock and horses, which is the highlight of the day and also the thrills and excitement of main ring entertainment, food, farming and a wide range of rural interests,” added Glyn Davies.
