The Farmers’ Union of Wales is today reminding all those who have an interest in farming and rural affairs to make their views clear via the Union’s online survey.
Current figures from the survey suggest that 43% of respondents are excited about the referendum result, whilst 51 % feel anxious about what’s to come once the UK leaves the European Union.
Through the survey of Welsh farms the FUW aims to find out what farmers in Wales want for the future following the EU Referendum and it is designed to give all those who fill in the survey the chance to comment on some of the major issues relating to the types of agricultural policies that might best benefit Wales after the UK leaves the European Union.
In addition, the survey has space for individual comments on how Welsh farming and our rural communities could or should change in a way which improves our financial, environmental and cultural sustainability.
FUW President Glyn Roberts said: “The FUW wants to hear from all of you who recognise that #FarmingMatters and who would like to get involved in shaping our future here in Wales. Now is the time to draft the policies we want to see implemented once we have made an exit from the European Union and your opinion on these issues matters a great deal to us. So if you haven’t filled out the online survey yet, please do so and encourage your family, friends and neighbours to do the same.”
The online survey is available bilingually on the FUW website at: http://fuw.org.uk/brexitsurvey/
