A farming union leader has urged the armed forces to buy more Welsh produce during a visit by high ranking officers to his farm in Powys. Officers from British military bases around the world visited Farmers' Union of Wales president Gareth Vaughan's 861-acre farm at Dolfor, near Newtown. The military uses Welsh farmland to train thousands of soldiers each year. Eight Army colonels, based in places such as Chile and Tanzania, visited Mr Vaughan's farm. They were part of a group from the Royal College of Defence Studies in London.
