RURAL CHAMPION AWARD

2024 – MEGAN POWELL

Megan Powell comes from a farming background but her parents were not actively farming when she was growing up, therefore during her time as a YFC member, she has grasped every opportunity to further her appreciation and understanding of the agricultural sector and issues impacting rural communities. Through the YFC movement, Meg has raised money for a number of different charities including climbing the three highest peaks of Powys in 12 hours Megan Powell and joining her County Chairman last year cycling around Brecknock for Wales Air Ambulance and the DPJ Foundation. Meg believes the agricultural sector is vital to the fabric of rural life and communities and funds rural development. Agriculture and local farming enterprises serve as a platform and an injection of income for rural communities to thrive, supporting British agriculture provides income for rural communities to improve and maintain the wellbeing of the people who lives within them.
