As we develop our proposals for agriculture reform, we want to listen to the views of everyone who has an interest in the future of the farming industry, including farming organisations. The Secretary of State will be holding discussions with the farming unions in Wales in the near future. Ministers have met representatives from FUW and NFU Wales on a number of occasions.
