He said: “Andrew is well-known throughout the agricultural community, especially in north and mid-Wales, for his thorough reporting style.

“His contribution to the promotion of Welsh farming issues is well known.”

Andrew also received praise for his work to produce an illustrated supplement for the Post to mark the FUW’s 50th anniversary last year.
