NFU Cymru is looking for proactive, enthusiastic young farmers to be part of its Next Generation Policy Group.

Farmers, aged 40 and under, from all sectors and all counties of Wales are invited to apply to join the group and to represent the future of the industry. In addition to working with NFU Cymru policy advisers and officeholders, on key policy issues such as Brexit and rural development, members of the group will also get the opportunity to travel to Cardiff Bay and London to meet with government at all levels.

This will be the second intake for the group, which has a two-year term, and provides an opportunity for young farmers to engage with top decision makers, as well as the opportunity to meet similar groups in Ireland and England.

NFU Cymru president John Davies said: “NFU Cymru is committed to working with the younger members of the industry. The Next Generation Policy Group has been a great working group for ideas on the future of the industry. Brexit is a key issue at the moment, and will significantly impact the next generation within the industry. Being part of NFU Cymru’s Next Generation Policy Group is a great opportunity to get your voice heard. We at NFU Cymru are keen to get younger members involved in the union, and if you are interested please complete an application.”

If you are interested in applying, or know someone that is, complete the application form on the NFU Cymru website before 28 February.
