NFU Cymru Tenants Forum Representative Elwyn Evans said:
“The introduction of Welsh Government’s landmark Agriculture Bill signifies a new dawn of change and opportunity for Welsh farmers. But is it vital that future policy works for all farmers in Wales, including those who do not own the land that they farm.
“These meetings provide an ideal opportunity for tenant farmers in Wales to hear from NFU Cymru’s speakers about how this new legislation and the associated Sustainable Farming Scheme could impact those in the tenant sector. The event also offers the chance for tenant farmers to ask questions relating to their tenancy agreement and learn more about the NFU Cymru offer in terms of support for the sector, so I’d strongly recommend all tenant farmers try to attend one of these events if they’re able to.”
