A poultry, beef and sheep farmer from Pembrokeshire has been announced as this year’s Woman Farmer of the Year at the Royal Welsh Show.

The NFU Cymru and NFU Mutual award, now in its 24th year, seeks to champion the contribution that women make to the industry and to raise the profile of women in farming.

This year’s winner is Pembrokeshire farmer Clare Morgan, who farms in partnership with her husband, Stephen, at Fenton Home Farm, Crundale near Haverfordwest.

They farm 375 acres consisting of free-range hens, cattle, breeding ewes and some arable cropping.

Over the last 20 years they have converted their traditional stone barns into assured short hold rental properties and in the last three years as holiday cottages.

The farm also has a renewable energy diversification in the form of a solar park.

A former NFU Cymru Poultry Group Chair, Clare has also served a two-year term as NFU Cymru Pembrokeshire County Chair, only the second woman to hold this position.

During her time as County Chair, she used opportunities such as media interviews, political meetings and NFU Cymru meetings to lobby for a bovine TB eradication strategy. She was also an advocate on water quality and mental health.

Clare is a qualified rural practice chartered surveyor and agricultural valuer and it was through her work that she met Stephen, when she sold him the farm and property, developing the site that would later become their family home.

At the time of the purchase the farm was in arable cropping and potatoes but has since diversified considerably.

In 2011, the Morgans decided to enter the poultry sector, initially erecting hen shed at Fenton and adding another unit in 2014. Eggs are currently supplied to Fridays packer in Kent, supplying the major supermarkets.

As a business they embraced renewable energy at an early stage. In 2014 they signed a 30-year lease for a solar park, which was completed in early 2015.

They manage the grass in the solar park, grazing with the ewes. In addition to this, they have invested in a 320kw biomass boiler to heat and provide hot water for the rental properties, and 150kw of ground mounted solar panels for the poultry shed.

Away from the farm, Clare is a Nuffield Scholar, is involved in Pembrokeshire County Show, trains the Keyston YFC debating team and a committee member and Joint Master of the Pembrokeshire Hunt.

Fenton Home Farm also hosts numerous visits from primary schools and various grassland, WI and NFU groups.

NFU Cymru deputy president and competition judge, Abi Reader, said Clare “embodies everything” for the Wales Woman Farmer of the Year Award.

“It was inspiring to hear from Clare about the adversity her farming business has overcome and changes the family has made to enhance the enterprise over the years.

“As judges we were left in no doubt whatsoever that Clare is someone who is always willing to seize the initiative, grasp new opportunities and is certainly not afraid of a challenge or hard work.

“Clare is a tremendous example of a woman leading the way in her field.”

Clare was presented with a Welsh crystal engraved bowl and £500 prize money to mark her achievement.
