A RHYDYMAIN farmer has been elected to the British Wool’s board.

Following a recent board member election in the Welsh northern region, Huw Evans, who farms in Rhyd-y-main, Dolgellau, has been elected to the British Wool’s board for a three-year term beginning on 1 April.

Mr Evans has represented Meirionnydd on the British Wool Welsh Regional Committee since 2008 and has been the North Wales Regional Chairman since 2011.

Farming in partnership with his wife and helped by the youngest of their three sons, they have a flock of Welsh Mountain sheep selling finished lambs and draft ewes for breeding in autumn as well as a herd of pedigree Welsh Black cattle.
