Why Welsh farmers should all be passionate, fervent supporters of an Independent Wales (nation.cymru)

Jacob Rees Mogg wants hormone injected cheap beef from Australia on his plate. The grass fed, high welfare, superior quality beef grown in Wales dismissed in favour of cheap meat from the other side of the globe.

Any Welsh farmers who still haven’t realised that independence offers them the best future need to sit down and give very serious thought to how they see the future of farming developing within the UK. To where their farm, their livelihood, the land they love and the children who’ll inherit it, will be in 20 years.

There’s plenty to discuss in terms of the future of rural Wales and the potential offered by Independence, hopefully the blindness of central government to the realities of rural life and agriculture (on both sides of the political spectrum) are already generating significant debate and discussion on the constitutional future of Wales within the sector.

This is incredibly interesting, appreciate you doing the leg work.

Interesting note that we're still (2021) importing more than double the amount we export. A not insignificant amount.

It would be interesting to see where and in what quality this imported meat is/is from.

Something else potentially interesting is the possible relationship between the cost of living crisis and the consumption of beef not only across the UK, but in Wales specifically.
