The Farmers’ Union of Wales will be holding a series of EU debates ahead of the upcoming referendum.
The Union is committed to providing as much information as possible to its members in order for them to make a fully informed decision in June, and is therefore staging a further five debates over the coming weeks.
“If you want to know more about the arguments then you need to be at these debates,” said FUW Managing Director Alan Davies.
“We know that there’s a lot of noise about the EU and the referendum and a lot of that noise is ill informed. That is why we are holding a series of debates around the country to help inform members of the benefits of staying in the EU.”
The debates will take place on Monday, May 23 at Monmouthshire Livestock Auction, Raglan , Wednesday, May 25 at Welshpool Livestock Market, Wednesday, June 1 at Glynllifon College, Caernarfon , Monday, June 6 at Rhug Estate, Corwen, and Tuesday, June 7 at the FUW RWAS pavilion, Buith Wells.
All the events are commencing at 7pm.
“It’s well recognized that we’ve been a long-standing supporter of ongoing membership of the EU, and whilst we don’t anticipate that changing, we should always seek to widen our understanding whenever possible,” said FUW President Glyn Roberts.
The debate is open to members and other parties interested in agriculture and the protection of the rural economy of Wales.
