Markets cancelled in Wales next Wednesday as the Rural Community head to Cardiff en mass to the Senedd unprecedented in the History of Welsh Farming. If you would like to Google what is being proposed by this lot you will be amazed it's a totally unworkable scheme, the rhetoric an insult to Welsh Farmers. Facebook "Welsh Farmers Protests" will give you good up to date progress as news is not covering it all.

Good on the farmers for protesting.
Why do they want the trees?

Go on Wales.

A rousing chorus by a male voice choir outside the place would get the media interested.
 
Lamb is getting to expensive for export, some overseas buyers can't afford it
Just got this from the NSA in their weekly email. Makes good reading

Surge in lamb export sales

Latest full year figures from HMRC show that a global demand for lamb has helped drive UK red meat exports last year, achieving a similar level in value to the record levels seen in 2022. Red meat exports from the UK in 2023 were worth £1.7 billion, largely driven by strong demand for UK lamb on international markets.

The total value of red meat shipments to the EU during the period was up 2% on the year at £1.3 billion, while volumes fell by 12% on the year.

Within this, sheep meat exports to France – the UK’s largest market – was the standout with shipments increasing by 23% in value to £292 million and 23% in volume on the year to 45,000 tonnes

I read it that we sent a fair chunk less but they had to pay more for it.
