An opportunity for Meirionnydd farmers to consider the future of their industry will be provided during the Farmers’ Union of Wales’ Meirionnydd county branch annual general meeting at the Ship Hotel, Dolgellau, on Friday 29 January at 7.30pm.
“We are fortunate this year to have the following speakers – Isabel Owen, head of the Caernarfon Divisional Office, Welsh Assembly Government; Sion Aron Jones, Hybu Cig Cymru industry development manager; and Emyr Williams, director of land management, Snowdonia National Park,” said FUW’s county executive officer Huw Jones.
“The theme for the meeting is ‘Food, the environment and farm support – what is the future?’. This will be an opportunity, therefore, for us to consider the future direction of the industry.
“I will also be presenting a short report of the union’s activities during 2009 at the start of the meeting. I am expecting a strong representation of members from all parts of the county.”
