"The group argued that all-male spaces are important because men need a safe space to discuss their mental healthh_, particularly in an industry where loneliness, stress and financial problems can trigger depression.
Mrs Edwards, however, viewed the policy as “discriminatory” and “outdatedd_” saying female farmers were being denied valuable networking opportunities.
Mrs Edwards, 53, and her husband Simon, 56, first put forward the proposal to the group after realising that if they had had daughters instead of sons, their children would have been barred from going to meetings with their father."
