FUTURE PLANS

What's the prognosis for farming and the need for farm support like ours?

Thishasbeenanextraordinaryyearinmanyways,notleasttheimpactofCovid-19,whichnoneof us
could have forecast.  For farmers, though we also had the reality of Brexit happening at the end of 2020.

Entering 2021/2, farmers are facing even more uncertainty and increasing challenges, including:

-Brexit.WhileformanyofusitwouldseemthatBrexithascomeandgone,forfarmerstheimpacts are
only just beginning to be felt.  These will include:

This is an enormous burden which falls not just on an industry, but on every individual farmer.

Farmersandfarmingfeedsthenationandisthestewardofthecountryside.Weremainoptimistic that
farminghasastrongplaceattheheartofruraleconomiesandthenationasawhole,butfor individuals,
these pressures can often be too much.  This is where Tir Dewi and others like us are so very necessary.

Duringthenextperiod,wehopetocompleteouravailabilitycoverageacrosstherestofWales, including

FUTURE FUNDING EXPECTATIONS

Manyofthefundingarrangementsagreedduringthisyeararefor3or5yearterms.Thisgivesus some
confidencearoundcontinuityfortheseprojects.Ambitionsforfurthergrowthand development,
however, will bring additional funding needs as well as ongoing funding of core costs.

WeseetheneedfortwomoreregionstobeestablishedtoprovideourfullcoverageofWalesandhope to
