NFU Cymru met with new Welsh Conservatives Shadow Minister for Rural Affairs, James Evans MS, on a Powys farm to discuss the main issues affecting the industry across Wales.
The visit took place at the farm of NFU Cymru Brecon & Radnor County Chairman, Rob Powell and the duo were also joined by NFU County Adviser Stella Owen.
Both of these factors had led to increased costs and it is anticipated that it will lead to pressure on straw and feed supplies later in the year. Mr Powell said: “I was pleased to be able to welcome James Evans MS on farm so soon after taking up his new role as Shadow Minister for Rural Affairs. “This was a very productive meeting and we hope that James Evans will take our points on board in his discussions with the new Welsh Government Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs, and fellow shadow ministers, to ensure the Sustainable Farming Scheme is fair for all to access and, equally, that Welsh farmers are not disadvantaged in comparison to their UK counterparts.”
