The Farmers' Union of Wales has reacted angrily to the Welsh Assembly Government’s decision to reject a way of distributing an emergency EU fund for dairy farmers that would have favoured Wales' smaller producers. Two distribution options were considered by the Assembly: Option 1: a payment of 0.2 pence per litre (ppl) of production during the 12-month period of greatest market disturbance (1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009) to each dairy farmer and Option 2: a two-tier payment comprising a payment of 0.5ppl on the first 100,000 litres of production plus an estimated payment of 0.15ppl on production over 100,000 litres during the specified period. |

A Stratford-upon-Avon entrepreneur is urging rural businesses to make the most of the Rural Enterprise Grant (REG) scheme after her company benefitted from investment that will help it nearly double its turnover in 2010. Olivia Hatch, who runs the 20-acre Talton Lodge in Newbold-on-Stour, has used a £7,000 funding boost to develop the existing woodland, orchards and parklands into an experienced based tourism operation that is looking to offer a sustainable venue for meetings, team building and entertainment. |
