FARMERS in Meirionnydd have come together to explore what the future for farming could look like once the UK has made an exit from the European Union.

Farmers met at the Farmers’ Union of Wales branch for their Annual General Meeting in Dolgellau.

Providing food for thought on the night were panel speakers Tom Jones, a past FUW vice president who represents Wales on the European social and economic committee in Brussels, and a non-executive cirector at the Wales office, Dr Prysor Williams, a senior lecturer in environmental management at Bangor University and Huw Tudor, regional agricultural manager with HSBC.

FUW Meirionnydd County executive officer Huw Jones said: “With speculation of what Brexit might mean in terms of timescales, trade deals, and legislation changing on a daily basis, the industry is facing a level of uncertainty and risk not seen for generations."
