Hot topics during the Farmers' Union of Wales Anglesey county branch's annual general meeting at Tafarn-Y-Rhos, Rhostrehwfa, were cattle movements and restrictions plus the importance of keeping all farm-related records.
Guest speakers, Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency's Steve Sagar and Welsh Assembly Government farm liaison officer Janet Phillips, gave short presentations on rules and regulations involving animal movements and restrictions together with penalties likely to be applied whilst having on-farm inspections.
FUW county executive officer Heidi Williams said both speakers gave very informative presentations and endeavoured to simplify the rules and regulations into layman’s terms.
Mrs Williams also gave her annual speech, producing facts and figures for the performance of the county branch office during the past 12 months.
She said it was most important to entice new and young members into the union and look after those that had supported the union and paid their annual subscriptions for years.
FUW president Emyr Jones said he was very proud of Anglesey’s performance and that the county was thriving both from the farming and insurance aspects.
