THE Caernarfonshire branch of the Farmers’ Union of Wales is arranging a Sarn branch meeting on Friday, 9 November, at Bronllwyd Mawr farm to start at 11.30am, with permission of GJ and GC Thomas.

The Welsh Government’s minister for culture, tourism and sport, Dafydd Elis-Thomas AM, will be present to explain what the government intends to do to support the agriculture industry and the rural economy following the consultation, Brexit and our Land.

There will also be a presentation by farmer Griffith John Thomas, and the meeting will be an opportunity for members to air their concerns in order to ensure that their local Assembly Member can convey those concerns to the Lesley Griffiths AM, Cabinet secretary for energy, planning and rural affairs, who was responsible for publishing the consultation document.

FUW Caernarfonshire county executive officer Gwynedd Watkin said: “Farmers across Wales will naturally be concerned about some of the proposals within the consultation and the uncertainty created by this, coupled with the uncertainty of future trade deals, it makes it all very difficult for anyone to plan ahead.

“Please come along to Bronllwyd Mawr where you will get the opportunity to put your views across. Light refreshments will be available.”

The meeting will be held in Welsh.
