The Farmers' Union of Wales and the Welsh Government should work together for the good of the industry was the key message spelled out by the union's leader today (Friday June 22).
Among the issues raised by Bala farmer Emyr Jones during FUW's annual general meeting was the Welsh Government’s CAP Reform position statement in response to the "most important debate" for the farming industry.
Mr Jones, whose speech was followed by an address and question and answer session by Deputy Agriculture Minister Alun Davies, also referred to the need for an LFA support scheme, the U-turn over a badger cull in north Pembrokeshire, Gareth Williams’ Working Smarter report and the Glastir agri-environment scheme.
