For Wales
- I will stand with Welsh farmers against subsidy reforms that threaten to drive families off the land. Farming is not just an industry — it is the backbone of our food security, our culture, and our language.
- I will champion local produce and shorter food chains, so Welsh food feeds Welsh families first. Supporting our farmers means protecting our nation’s independence in food and energy.
- I will defend the right of family farms to pass from one generation to the next without being crippled by unfair tax burdens.
- I will protect the Welsh language and culture that thrive in our farming communities.
- I will push for investment in rural transport and farming infrastructure — from dairies to abattoirs — so Welsh farmers can get their goods to market quickly, animals don’t face unnecessary long journeys, and our food system is fairer and more sustainable.
For Carmarthenshire
- From the dairy herds of the Gwendraeth to the sheep farms of the Amman Valley, I will fight to keep our farms viable, our produce valued, and our communities alive.
- I will back Carmarthenshire’s farmers and growers — from traditional family farms to innovative enterprises like my own work in leech farming — proving that rural Wales can be both rooted in tradition and open to innovation.
- Having grown up in a farming family myself, I know succession is about more than land — it’s about keeping our way of life alive. I will fight for fair rules that let the next generation carry on farming here in Carmarthenshire.
- From Kidwelly to Llandeilo, farming sustains our schools, chapels, and shops. I will ensure that rural Carmarthenshire remains a place where Welsh is spoken, communities are strong, and no village is left behind.
- I will fight for better road and rail links across Carmarthenshire, and for local processing facilities that keep value here at home. By backing our dairies, abattoirs, and markets, we can support our farmers, cut food miles, and strengthen our local economy.
