The Farmers’ Union of Wales is once again looking to recognise an individual who has made a great contribution towards the development of the dairy industry and has become an integral part of the dairy industry in Wales.

The winner of its FUW-HSBC Outstanding Service to the Welsh Dairy Industry award will be announced, and the presentation made, at this year’s Welsh Dairy Show in Carmarthen on Tuesday, October 24.

FUW Carmarthenshire county executive officer David Waters said: “There are a number of very worthy individuals in Wales who deserve this award and looking back we have had some very worthy nominations and winners.

"So if you know of a person in Wales who has made a great contribution towards the development of the dairy industry and has become an integral part it in Wales, then why not nominate them for this prestigious award.”

Most recent past winners include Daioni Organic owner Laurence Harris in 2015 and Gareth Roberts of Llaeth y Llan last year.

Nominations should be in the form of a letter or citation giving full details of the work and achievements of the nominee and need to be sent to the FUW Carmarthenshire county office, 13a Barn Road, Carmarthen, SA31 1DD by Friday, October 6.
