Powys County Council to debate pausing Sustainable Farming Scheme and opposing shorter school summer holidays.

Powys County Council will debate a motion on March 7, asking the Welsh Government to pause the Sustainable Farming Scheme due to farmer protests and concerns. The scheme requires 10% of agricultural land for trees, sparking criticism. A separate motion will also be debated on opposing the Welsh Government's proposal to shorten school summer holidays, with concerns over rural economy and Royal Welsh Show impacts.
