Delia Protheroe

Carmarthenshire

Delia is a 38-year-old, third generation farmer that lives and works alongside her husband and three small children. They currently have a beef suckler herd and have previously owned sheep, turkeys and pigs.

The farm itself operates as two separate businesses, one half is farmed by Delia's parents and the other half is farmed by Delia and her family. Alongside farming, they own and manage a civil engineering company.

Delia graduated with an Environmental Health degree and has worked as an Environmental Health Officer. She then took time out to travel and worked on a dairy farm in New Zealand before deciding to live and work on the family farm. Along with farming, she has previously worked for a Welsh homeless charity.

Delia is passionate about food security and is looking forward to being part of this group and being part of something that will help to shape the future of Welsh agriculture.
