0:00:27 > 0:00:29- September 2015

0:00:29 > 0:00:32- The September sun - is shining down on us.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37- I'm visiting a farm that has - a very interesting history...

0:00:37 > 0:00:40- ..Berain Farm, Llannefydd.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43- It's an interesting farm, - with good farmers...

0:00:44 > 0:00:46- ..John Jones and his wife, Eirian...

0:00:46 > 0:00:51- ..and John's parents, - Richard and Iona Jones.

0:00:51 > 0:00:55- They also have another farm, - near Denbigh.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57- It's called Meysydd Brwyn.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59- This is a superb landscape.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03- I'm particularly impressed - with the large fields.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06- Let's see if the family's at home.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08- I can hear calves bleating.

0:01:09 > 0:01:15- THE BERAIN FAMILY

0:01:18 > 0:01:23- This mediaeval mansion was built - originally in the 14th century.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27- It's the birthplace - of Katheryn of Berain...

0:01:27 > 0:01:31- ..a most colourful character - of her day, in this part of Wales.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Today, it's a busy farmhouse, - and the home of the Jones family.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44- You've remained loyal - to the old type of Friesian.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48- We've gone back - to keeping Friesians...

0:01:48 > 0:01:50- ..but we used to keep Holsteins.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55- They're very easy to manage, - there's less work involved.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59- They're fertile, and they - can be kept outside for longer.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Do you cross-breed them - with beef bulls?

0:02:03 > 0:02:05- No, we don't cross-breed.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Which do you use, AI or bulls?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10- We've always kept bulls.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Works better, does it?

0:02:12 > 0:02:14- I find it more convenient.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15- Of course.

0:02:16 > 0:02:21- But as the herd increases, - we'll have to rely more on AI.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- All dairy farmers have had - to increase their herds...

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- ..and I'm sure you've done the same.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33- Yes, three years ago, - we started operating a new system.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- There's been an increase - of about 80 cows.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Did you buy these cows?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42- No, we breed our own cows.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44- We get plenty of heifers.

0:02:44 > 0:02:49- We used a Friesian bull - in order to increase the herd.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53- We've produced more heifers - than we needed.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Now, we have the number we need.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01- It's a lot of work - they have - to be fed, morning and evening.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Yes, they eat a lot.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06- You can't do much to change that...

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- ..apart from keeping an eye - on your costs.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15- The aim is to produce milk - as cheaply as possible...

0:03:16 > 0:03:17- ..from grass.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- These fields are impressive, - very nice.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- They're good fields to work.

0:03:55 > 0:04:00- People have worked over centuries - to improve the land.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Years of daily toil.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06- But the landscape - is likely to change, soon.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11- There are plans to build pylons, - from Clocaenog to St Asaph...

0:04:11 > 0:04:14- ..cutting through the middle - of the farm.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Through these fields?

0:04:16 > 0:04:21- Not just a single row of poles, - but two poles, three metres apart.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24- How will you manage, - after the poles are erected?

0:04:25 > 0:04:28- You have to harvest these fields - at least twice a year.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Machines are getting bigger.

0:04:32 > 0:04:38- I'm not looking forward - to working around all those poles.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39- I'm not surprised.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41- I speak as a farmer...

0:04:41 > 0:04:47- ..but there are also concerns - that the work will affect Berain...

0:04:47 > 0:04:51- ..which is a Grade II* - listed building.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- The pylons are planned - to cover 17 kilometres.

0:04:58 > 0:05:03- There's group campaigning to have - the cables installed underground.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08- My first reaction is that - I don't want them at all...

0:05:08 > 0:05:12- ..my second reaction - is to have them placed underground.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14- But no-one listens.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Iona Jones, John's mother, - is a local woman.

0:05:17 > 0:05:22- She has been living in the old - Berain farmhouse since 1963...

0:05:23 > 0:05:25- ..when she married Richard Jones.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29- She has a keen interest - in the house's history...

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- ..and in the history - of Katheryn of Berain.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34- She inherited land.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38- She was a descendant of Henry VII.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42- The family came from Penmynydd - in Anglesey.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Her land extended - to the end of the Vale of Clwyd.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48- She married four times.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50- It was the custom at the time...

0:05:51 > 0:05:56- ..for marriages to be arranged when - children were about 12 years old.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Her first husband - was Salusbury of Lleweni.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- He was followed - by Clough of Plas Clough, Denbigh...

0:06:05 > 0:06:09- ..and then one of the Wynns - of Gwydir, Llanrwst.

0:06:09 > 0:06:14- Her last husband was Thelwall - of Plas y Ward, Rhewl.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Those names still exist today.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18- Yes.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Wynn is still particularly common - in this area.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Where were these four husbands - buried?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Or did she predecease one of them?

0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Are there any memorials to them - in local cemeteries?

0:06:33 > 0:06:37- No, and there's no record - of her grave either.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40- She's rumoured to be buried - in Llannefydd...

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- ..but there's nothing - to mark the spot.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45- According to legend...

0:06:45 > 0:06:51- ..she killed her husbands - by pouring lead into their ears.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- But I don't think that's true!

0:06:58 > 0:07:03- The work of keeping the old - Berain farmhouse warm continues.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Across the road from the house...

0:07:06 > 0:07:09- ..there's a large stock - of seasoned logs.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13- It's a nice, sunny day.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Where are the logs - up here?

0:07:16 > 0:07:22- Log fires have become fashionable, - but you need lots of logs.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Filling the basket is hard work.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Splitting logs is even harder work.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30- That's right.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32- These have already been split.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Log fires have become very popular.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Yes.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Logs are kept dry in this shed.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- The wind blows through holes - in the back wall...

0:07:44 > 0:07:46- ..which helps to keep the logs dry.

0:07:47 > 0:07:48- You have plenty of work.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- You have four children.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Three boys?

0:07:53 > 0:07:58- My daughter, Elin, is the eldest, - then there's Ifan, Elias and Jacob.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01- They're good, fair play to them.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Do you drive them to school?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06- No, a minibus picks up all four.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07- We're very lucky.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08- They're looked after well.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10- They're looked after well.- - What's your job?

0:08:10 > 0:08:12- I teach.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13- I teach adults.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- I've been doing it for years.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18- I enjoy it.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20- The work is flexible...

0:08:20 > 0:08:24- ..which is convenient - for the children's holidays.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26- I can stay at home with them.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28- I enjoy it.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Did you grow up in a rural area?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Yes, not far from here, in Nantglyn.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Were you familiar with farm work?

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Yes, I was raised on a farm.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Excellent.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- We'd better bring the logs in, - before John starts shivering!

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Yes, we need a good fire - in the evening.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Is it too heavy?

0:08:50 > 0:08:54- I'd say most of the weight - is on this side!

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Excellent.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Along with Berain...

0:09:04 > 0:09:09- ..the family also farms at - Meysydd Brwyn in the Vale of Clwyd.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- 'Brwyn' means 'reeds', - but I can't see any.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Here, John grows wheat and oats.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- The harvest is almost over - for another year.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- This is wheat straw, is it?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Yes, it's wheat straw.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- It's more moist - than oats and barley.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35- It's a lot finer.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36- It's a lot finer.- - It can be.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42- I leave it to dry, and turn it over - the evening before it's harvested.

0:09:42 > 0:09:48- One of the advantages is that wheat - gives you straw as well as grain.

0:09:48 > 0:09:49- You get straw as well.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Yes, it's an advantage.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Good gracious.

0:09:55 > 0:10:00- Do you use contractors, even though - you have your own machines?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03- We do most of the work ourselves.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04- We combine the wheat.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09- But at the end of last week, - the weather was due to change...

0:10:09 > 0:10:13- ..so we called in a contractor - to help finish the job.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15- It's lucky that we did so.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18- You don't want it to get wet.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21- It takes two or three days to dry.

0:10:21 > 0:10:26- It's easier to dry the straw - after harvesting the grain.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30- You get better straw, too, - if you don't hurry the job.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Is it easy to find help locally?

0:10:35 > 0:10:40- We're fortunate - there are plenty - of workers and contractors to help.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42- We're fortunate, as an area.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48- It's the same in Llannefydd - - it's an agricultural parish.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Agriculture remains strong - in the area.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57- After harvesting...

0:10:58 > 0:11:02- ..all the produce is stored - at Meysydd Brwyn Farm.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05- John keeps an eagle eye - on its quality.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Is it fairly dry?

0:11:19 > 0:11:20- Yes, it's fine.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- It says 16.1.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25- What a big pile of wheat.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Wheat is very nutritious.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Yes, it's very nourishing.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Is it oats, at the far end?

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Yes - I grow wheat and oats.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- Do you grow enough for your own use, - for fattening cattle?

0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Yes, with a little to spare.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- We sell what's left over, - when spring approaches.

0:11:47 > 0:11:52- It may look like a lot of food, - but it doesn't come cheap.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56- It wouldn't be worth growing, - if we didn't use it ourselves.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02- It costs money to grow, - and grain is cheap...

0:12:02 > 0:12:08- ..but if you use your own produce, - you can save money.

0:12:08 > 0:12:09- .

0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Subtitles- - Subtitles

0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Since harvesting - is almost over...

0:12:22 > 0:12:26- ..John has more time to spend - at Meysydd Brwyn...

0:12:26 > 0:12:29- ..checking on the sheep - and the heifers.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- These ewe lambs are smart.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41- They're Welsh Mule crosses - and Texel crosses.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44- That's what we use, mostly.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- They're nice.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- This farm has a fascinating name.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Meysydd Brwyn.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55- There's plenty of grass - in every field.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- It's fine in summer.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01- It can be wet in winter, - which explains the name.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04- We all have our problems.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07- The steers have good grazing.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Will they be fattened indoors?

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Yes, over winter.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Friesians are a good breed - for putting on weight.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22- You also keep sheep - it'll soon - be time for them to breed.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24- When does lambing begin?

0:13:24 > 0:13:25- When does lambing begin?- - In mid February.

0:13:26 > 0:13:27- The mules stay outside, do they?

0:13:27 > 0:13:30- The mules stay outside, do they?- - No, they're brought in for lambing.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33- It's because the land here - is so wet.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38- You have four children, - including three boys.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Are they interested in farming?

0:13:40 > 0:13:43- I hope so, but these are early days.

0:13:44 > 0:13:49- They're interested in lots of - things, and they're still at school.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- They enjoy playing rugby, - and computers.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55- That type of thing.

0:13:56 > 0:14:01- You and your father have done - a great deal work on this farm.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05- It would be nice to see - one of your sons taking over.

0:14:05 > 0:14:10- It's nice to see - the next generation coming along.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Work continues, - back home at Berain Farm.

0:14:20 > 0:14:25- John's father, Richard Jones, - is as active as ever.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28- He has no intention of retiring.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Richard, the cattle - are looking well.

0:14:35 > 0:14:36- Yes, they are.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39- You're scanning them for calves.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Are you doing all of them?

0:14:41 > 0:14:42- No.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46- John has a list of cows to scan.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51- You're still the one who brings - the cows in and takes them out.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53- I do what I can.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57- The man who's helping you - has worked here for years.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58- Yes, over 40 years.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59- Yes, over 40 years.- - Really?

0:15:00 > 0:15:01- He keeps us going.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05- You must be a good boss!

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Don't let me keep you - - the men have gone in.

0:15:09 > 0:15:10- Nice to talk to you.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Yes, nice to see you too.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14- It's a fine morning.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Very nice.

0:15:16 > 0:15:17- Goodbye.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Elwy Griffiths - is a key worker on the farm.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32- He can turn his hand - to any type of work.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- He has remained loyal to the family - over many years.

0:15:39 > 0:15:44- It's a job finding someone who knows - how to use these things, nowadays!

0:15:44 > 0:15:47- It can be quicker - than using a tractor.

0:15:48 > 0:15:49- Quite right.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Good gracious, it's a busy place.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Yesterday, you were - applying fertiliser to the fields.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58- We've been doing it every month...

0:15:59 > 0:16:03- ..though we probably won't need - to do it again, this year.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05- The weather's good, for autumn.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08- We've had a good growing season.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- You've seen many growing seasons.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Yes - I've worked here - for 38 years.

0:16:15 > 0:16:16- Are you from the area?

0:16:16 > 0:16:19- From Henllan, originally - - Plas Meifod.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Very good.

0:16:23 > 0:16:24- I shouldn't keep you from your work.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- I shouldn't keep you from your work.- - This place is a bit different.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Richard's still going like a rocket!

0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Richard's still going like a rocket!- - Nothing slows him down.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33- I'm sure that's true!

0:16:34 > 0:16:36- He'll never retire.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- If you retire, - you might as well stop.
