FUW MEETING TO INFORM FARMERS ABOUT CAP ISSUES

Farmers' Union of Wales' Glamorgan and Gwent county branches have organised a joint open meeting on two topical agricultural issues to be held at the Royal Oak, Nelson, on Tuesday March 8 at 7.30pm.

Agricultural policy director Nick Fenwick will discuss the question "Common Agricultural Policy reform post 2013 - will there be any Single Farm Payment?" and two Welsh Assembly Government commons development officers Berry Coffman and David Parfitt will consider "Glastir for common land holders".
