Our Presidential team Aled Jones NFU Cymru & Abi Reader today met with Welsh Government Rural Affairs Huw Irranca-Davies. A timely opportunity to discuss crucial issues within the industry, including bovine TB, water quality regulations, progress on the SFS and the agricultural budget. These are critical times.
