When she returned to the family farm in 2011 following a secondment in Hungary, her baby boy William was born and a complete change in her career. In 2012 Mari started working as the Farming Connect facilitator for Glamorganshire and over the last 2 years, she has used her local knowledge of the local farmers/farm businesses to engage them with Farming Connect and the benefits/services it offers our agricultural industry. As Mari was an active member of the local Young Farmer’s Club in her youth, her connections have been invaluable in gaining better attendance to Farming Connect meetings.
