The NFU has voted for Peter Kendall to serve a fourth term as president in a near unanimous vote at the close of its 2012 conference.
Also winning a fourth term was deputy president Meurig Raymond, while the council voted for Adam Quinney to become vice president.
The team will serve the NFU for two years.
NFU president Peter Kendall, who received 85 out of 86 votes, said being re-elected was an “enormous privelege”.
“First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gwyn Jones for his enormous amount of work and dedication over the last two years as Vice President, following six years of really constructive work as dairy board chairman,” he said.
“I would like to congratulate Adam on his new role and welcome him to the NFU officeholder team. There is no doubt that he will relish the opportunity to tackle the challenges that come with such an important position.
“For me, it is an enormous privilege to be re-elected as President with such resounding support from Council. No-one at our Conference can have failed to have grasped the size of the challenge facing us over the next decade as we keep the need for increasing food production at the top of the agenda. That’s what I’m committed to doing and I thank Council for giving me the opportunity.”
