The Farmers’ Union of Wales’ Meirionnydd branch had a very successful week at the Urdd Eisteddfod and its stand on the Maes (eisteddfod field) was a hive of activity.
Among the many visitors to the stand during the week was First Minister Carwyn Jones who is seen (second from right) with (from left) FUW Penllyn branch chairman Dylan Davies, county vice chairman Euros Puw and national president Emyr Jones.
“The First Minister’s visit was an opportunity to discuss current issues within the agricultural industry in Meirionnydd and the importance of being part of the European Union,” said FUW Meirionnydd county executive officer Huw Jones.
“The importance of agriculture to the rural economy was emphasised - how it sustains the Welsh language and culture and that the county was pleased to welcome the Eisteddfod.”
