Farmers’ Union of Wales members from Gwent and Glamorgan, as well as Union officials, met with Regional MS for South Wales East, Natasha Asghar, at Monmouth Livestock Centre to discuss critical issues facing the industry.
Speaking at the meeting, FUW members highlighted that the way the industry is being portrayed a lot of the time is a far cry from what happens on farms in Wales. FUW Gwent and Glamorgan County Executive Officer Sharon Pritchard said: “People’s perception about our industry here in Wales is often misguided by social media and also by the main press outlets and adverts on the TV. At times also our politicians.
