Jonathan Wilkinson

NFU Cymru Milk Board chair

Jonathan is a third-generation dairy farmer in mid-Wales, farming in partnership with his wife Susie and his 94-year-old mother who still takes an active interest in the farm.

Jon has had a long involvement with NFU Cymru and is currently its Dairy Board chair, having previously been Montgomeryshire County chairman for three years. He is also a County councillor taking particular interest in the running of the Powys County council farms.  

There are currently 470 milking cows at Dyffryn milking three times a day supplying milk to Muller, with plans to increase numbers to around 600 cows over the next two years.

With two daughters both perusing careers in medicine Jon was keen to ensure that the farm could work for them in the future. With this in mind he now works closely with a progressive local farming family who are helping to take the business forwards.
