“Additionally, the deeply unpopular 10% tree cover requirement risks losing valuable farmland. Yet, despite legitimate concerns, Labour presses on.

“The Welsh Conservatives support a farming model that rewards good practices, offers fair incentives, and includes farmers in decision-making. Labour’s Rural Affairs Minister claims to be listening to the community, yet no evidence of this has materialised, he is simply paying lip service to our farmers.”
