I see international rugby ref-turned-farmer Nigel Owens has been given the call-up to rank at the National Federation of the Young Farmers Club (YFC).

Young farmers voted unanimously to elect Owens as the new president at the federation’s online AGM in August.

As a former member of Llanarthne YFC, Owens is no stranger to the farm organisation. He held the positions of secretary and chair for the club and was also a former president of the Wales Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs.

The world-famous Welshman recently rekindled his farming career and officially became a suckler farmer earlier this year as his first calf hit the ground. His first purchase, a pedigree Hereford heifer, was dubbed Hannah.

It is truly a pleasure and honour to be asked to be President of the National Federation of the Young Farmers Club this year.I am looking forward to it very much. Diolch yn fawr iawn, mae wir yn bleser. https://t.co/FOXg9O8UfC
