According to farmersguardian.com, the Mid Wales farmers have hit out at Environment Agency Wales for not dredging local rivers.
They are also demanding a review of the river and estuary management and maintenance.
Edward Chapman, Montgomeryshire NFU’s county chairman , said: “ All the rivers used to be dredged. I expect as with many other things it is down to money, but I believe not dredging actually costs much more in the long run. ”
Farmersguardian.com reports that the criticism has come from Montgomeryshire NFU members – particularly those farming around the Dyfi Estuary and on the banks of the River Severn.
