Heidi Williams, FUW Anglesey CEO, said: “Some farmers were still a bit unclear about what they have to do qualify for the Farm Business Grant and that’s why we hosted this information evening. We also discussed the latest developments and policy regarding animal movements and I would like to thank also those who joined us for the meeting and everyone who contributed.”
