FUW GWENT MEETING ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND FUTURE PLANNING

An open evening for farmers to discuss the environment and planning for the future will be held by the Farmers’ Union of Wales Gwent branch at Abergavenny Rugby Club on Tuesday October 30 at 7.30pm.

The meeting will give them the opportunity to hear presentations by Nicola Salter, from Environment Agency Wales, on “Environment Agency and the Farmer” and a representative from solicitors Hugh James & Co will talk about “Planning For The Future”.

FUW Gwent county executive officer Glyn Davies said: “We are looking forward to an evening where farmers can ask questions on the role of Environment Agency Wales in relation to farming, cross compliance issues, slurry and fuel store regulations and hear about succession law, the potential pitfalls and how they could affect farming business.

“The session with Hugh James & Co will also provide information on how to take steps to avoid common pitfalls. Please telephone FUW Gwent county office to confirm attendance on 01873 853280.”
