Farmers’ Union of Wales agricultural policy director Nick Fenwick will speak about the major changes to the CAP and their implications on Welsh farmers at the union's Ceredigion branch annual general meeting Tuesday May 7, commencing at 7pm at TyGlyn, Ciliau Aeron.
“The weather over the past year has made it extremely difficult and hard for farmers and many agri-environment schemes such as Tir Mynydd, Tir Gofal and the Organic scheme will be coming to an end this year as well,” said FUW Ceredigion county executive officer Caryl Wyn-Jones .
“To secure a strong and prosperous future for the industry we need to ensure that the proposed new CAP will enable farmers to continue farming successfully as well as providing encouragement for young farmers to enter the industry.
“FUW members are more than welcome to take advantage of a special offer to have a meal at TyGlyn after the meeting for £9.25. We will be taking food orders by the door on the night,” added Miss Wyn-Jones.
During the event some light-hearted stories and tales will be given by former FUW area officer Gwynne Davies, of Llanddewi Brefi, and there will be a warm welcome to all members who attend. Food and light entertainment will be available.
