We should be extremely proud of the outstanding quality of food produced by the industry for the UK and beyond.
Despite having to weather many storms in recent years, the farming sector has a unique ability to bounce back after setbacks such as Foot and Mouth and extreme weather conditions. However, TB remains a serious problem - especially in West Wales.
The industry is constantly faced with new challenges having to adapt to continuing changes in legislation, and ever increasing paperwork and form filling...
