Rejected petition Welsh Farmers needs to be heard by Welsh Gov by a qualified agriculture minister

To ensure effective implementation of changes in the agricultural industry, it is crucial to consider both the revision of the tree cover requirement in the Sustainable Farming Scheme and the qualifications of the minister responsible for overseeing the sector. By prioritizing a minister with a strong background and qualifications in agriculture, decisions and policies can be informed by a deep understanding of the complexities and specific needs of farmers and the agricultural sector as a whole
