Farmers and the Welsh Government are currently at loggerheads over proposed changes in agricultural policies. The discord stems from the government's plan, defended by First Minister Mark Drakeford, which involves asking farmers to plant trees on their land in exchange for financial subsidies. This move has been criticized by farmers and rural communities for being out of touch with their needs. Jeremy Clarkson, a public figure, has also weighed in, calling the government's plan 'completely daft'. The Welsh Conservative spokesperson, @SKurtzCWSP, highlighted that the government is not listening to the concerns of farmers and rural communities, which is a source of growing frustration.
