With some big changes coming in the next few months at AgriTrader HQ, and a new style magazine for our original West Wales edition, we’re looking back at how things have changed over the years.

The DPJ Foundation was set up in July 2016 following the tragic passing of Daniel Picton-Jones, to support people in the agricultural industry suffering from poor mental health.

Here at AgriTrader, we want to hear perspectives from all different walks of life in the farming world. We’re excited to welcome a fresh face to our writing team, Hanna Lewis. This month she introduces herself and tells us about her background within the farming industry.

This month we are in Carmarthenshire finding out about not one, but two businesses – SJ Construction (Gwili) and A1 Concrete Products (Cymru) Ltd – both run by Sion James and his family.

At the beginning of the month, the Agri Trader team took a little time out from our usual days’ work to brush up on our First Aid skills.

Who are the people who make Agri Trader happen every month? It’s a small core team day-to-day – and here they are!

So just before Christmas, we headed to Mwnt, a secluded, sandy beach north of Cardigan…it was ‘brisk’ (remember that icy spell? Yes, it was then), but it was empty, and perfect for etching the Agri Trader logo in the sand.
