Union opens up to celebrate 70 years at show

As the flagship agricultural event opens its gates in Llanelwedd from July 21-24, the FUW will reflect on its proud history of championing Welsh family farms while firmly setting its sights on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for Welsh agriculture.

Established in 1955, the FUW was born from a belief that the distinct interests of Welsh farmers required an independent and dedicated voice.

Today, the FUW's founding principles of thriving, sustainable family farms continue at the heart of the union's work.

As part of the celebrations, a special panel discussion will be held at the FUW pavilion on July 23 at 11am.

Chaired by broadcaster Dei Tomos, the panel will bring together a range of familiar faces to reflect on seven decades of the FUW.
