| The press conference highlighting the problems facing dairy farmers was addressed by Marylyn Haines Evans, Chair of the Federations of Wales, Gareth Vaughan, President of the FUW and Eifion Huws, FUW Vice-President.
Marylyn Haines Evans spoke about the work of the WI in campaigning for better food and farming. She said that members recognise the positive contribution of dairy farmers to the environment and their communities and wanted to ensure that dairy farmers did not go out of business as this would have a devasting affect on the environment and rural communities.
| “WI members have noticed many changes to the communities over the years as dairy farmers have gone bankrupt. Dairy farmers help to support the local infrastructure by employing local people, shopping at local shops, using local banks and post offices and sending their children to local schools” | | | | |
