The Gwent branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales is looking forward to a busy day at Usk Agricultural Show on Saturday September 8.
Glyn Davies, FUW Gwent CEO, said: “We are really looking forward to the show and hope to see many of you there for plenty of #FarmingMatters and #FairFarmFunding chats.
“The Welsh Government Consultation, “Brexit and our land” will form the focal point of discussions and I urge anyone with an interest in the survival of our rural economy to speak to us about their concerns and join our campaign to get proposals to phase out direct payments rejected - all you have to do is fill out a postcard which we will then send to the Cabinet Secretary Lesley Griffiths.”
In addition, joining the FUW on the day are Dr Christianne Glossop, Chief Veterinary Officer for Wales, Gwent Police & Crime Commissioner, Jeff Cuthbert, as well as local AM Nick Ramsay and MP David Davies.
“Everyone is invited to call at our stand, which is opposite the main ring - you’re guaranteed a warm welcome and of course a cuppa,” added Glyn Davies.
