The award, now in its sixth year, will be awarded to the NFU Cymru Clwyd member who has made the greatest contribution to agriculture in the county.
Dafydd Jones
Dafydd Jones, Pencoed Ucha, Pwllglas suddenly passed away in February 2019. Dafydd had courageously battled with Myeloma for the previous 18 months, but had, with sheer determination, taken on the role of Clwyd County Chairman following the AGM in December 2018. The Chairmanship of his first full county meeting in January was conducted impeccably, and one could sense from his enthusiasm, that Dafydd was indeed in his element amongst the people within the industry he was passionately drawn towards. Dafydd had represented his county on NFU Cymru’s Rural Affairs Board for eight years, a portfolio that suited his professional knowledge and wisdom perfectly. His input was always valid and measured, and he had gained the utmost respect by his fellow board members.
Award criteria
The award will be judged against three elements – the economic, social and environmental contributions made to agriculture. The judging panel, made up of county officeholders, will also look to see if the nominees have had a lasting, positive impact on agriculture in the county.
NFU Cymru Clwyd County Chairman David Williams said:
“We’re pleased to once again launch this award that champions our great farmers here in Clwyd. I would urge local farmers to nominate someone who they believe is farming in an innovative and sustainable way and deserves recognition for the wider work they do for the industry.”
