Welsh Farmers see bright future Post-Brexit.

Wales is excited at the prospect of Brexit for Welsh farmers. The UK produces
only 60% of its food requirements; a hungry UK market awaits open-mouthed for
Welsh produce. This is a great opportunity to build brand Wales within the UK
market with the outcome of cheaper food for Welsh consumers.
After Brexit we’ll be free from subsidising competitors through the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy. Right now we give £6 billion to the EU for farming and only get £3 billion back for our own farmers. The UK will save £3 billion and still be able to subsidise UK farming at the current rate.

farmers are custodians of 80% of the Welsh countryside. They are responsible for
the conservation of the environment throughout the country by adopting good
practises. Post-Brexit, farmers will be freed from cumbersome EU regulations and
directives, which for many years, have made the management of their environment
increasingly difficult.
UK farming has been in perpetual decline for decades under the watch of the EU. It’s time for a radical change in UK farming and for us to take control of our agricultural destiny.
