-Here I am, -in England's vast expanses! | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
-I'm in the Pickworth area -in Rutland... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
-..and this is Grange Farm... | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
-..the home of Delyth -and Will Gilman. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
-Delyth's roots -are in the Hiraethog area. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
-She grew up on Brynclochydd Farm. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
-Now, she lives in these expanses. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
-She has three sons. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
-The family -runs a large cereal farm. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
-We'll learn more as we go on. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
-Grange Farm lies half a mile from -the ancient village of Pickworth. | 0:00:55 | 0:01:01 | |
-It is surrounded by thousands of -acres of wheat, oats and barley... | 0:01:01 | 0:01:07 | |
-..growing in huge fields. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
-It's the middle of August... | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
-..and the season for combine -harvesting is coming to an end. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
-This year, we have 3,000 acres. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-There are 500 acres left to harvest. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
-Progress has been good. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
-The combines are huge. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
-They'd raise a few eyebrows -in Gwytherin or Llanilar! | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
-You'd have a hard time -getting them there! | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
-We've been using two combines, -this year. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
-We've had good weather -for making silage. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
-Yes, we've had favourable weather. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
-We haven't had any rain -for over six weeks. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-It's been dry. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-Is it dry land, generally? | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
-Yes, the land is dry, generally. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
-It's stony and dry. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
-One half of the farm is wetter... | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
-..though rain doesn't affect it -too badly. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-Barley is your biggest crop. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-Do you also grow oats and wheat? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-We grow oats, wheat, barley, peas... | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-..oilseed rape... | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
-..all kinds of crops. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
-We've expanded our range -quite a lot, over the years. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
-This area -has good road links nearby. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
-It makes it easy for you -to transport your produce. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
-That's right - in the background, -we can hear the hum from the A1. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
-The A1 can take you anywhere -within a few hours. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
-Most of our produce is sold -in advance on the futures market. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
-It's used to make bread -and biscuits. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-We have a contract with Jordans, -who make cereal bars. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
-We have thousands of tonnes to sell. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-Prices change on a daily basis... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-..depending on the value of the -pound, and other crops worldwide. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:08 | |
-I should think -it's a difficult situation. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
-Yes, though that's true -for all farmers. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-So much relies on the weather. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-Weather conditions worldwide -affect our sales. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-High production in another part -of the world causes oversupply. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
-On the other hand, we profit -if production is poor elsewhere. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
-Do you spray your crops? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
-Yes, to some degree. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
-Black-grass is a major issue. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
-That's our biggest problem... | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
-..and there are no chemicals -available on the market... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
-..that can kill it, -apart from Roundup. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
-We've sprayed lots of patches. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
-Every year is different... | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
-..when it comes -to the use of chemicals. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
-It's nice to see some hedges, -and the trees are a vivid colour. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
-Do you cut your hedges every year, -like we do at home? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
-We don't cut them every year. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
-We're involved -in a conservation scheme... | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
-..similar to Tir Cynnal in Wales. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
-It's called -Higher Level Stewardship. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
-Hedges are cut three times -within a five-year period. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-The trees are a vivid colour. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
-There's a nice mix, isn't there? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
-There's a nice mix, isn't there? - -Yes. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
-A lot of these woodlands are Sites -of Special Scientific Interest... | 0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | |
-..and the government -is keen to preserve them. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
-There's a huge contrast between -Brynclochydd and these expanses. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
-Did you fit in happily? | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
-Yes, I've settled in. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-I've been here for 12 years. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
-You're not Delyth Brynclochydd -any longer... | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
-..now, you're Delyth the Grange! | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-I'm Delyth Gilman. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
-People here don't call you -by the name of your farm. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-That's what everyone does in Wales. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
-People here find that strange! | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
-In this area, -people just use your name. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-I apologise, Mrs Gilman! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
-Yes, Delyth's roots have been -transplanted to Grange Farm. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:30 | |
-Hopefully, the future will be -secure - in the hands of her sons... | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
-..Tomos, Jack and Seth. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
-The hard work of combine harvesting -is drawing to an end. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-Great loads of grain -are placed in storage. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
-Keeping the produce dry -is vitally important. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-This year, we've been fortunate. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-Sometimes, we have to dry the grain -using machinery. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
-Large fans, behind us, -blow air through these vents. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:04 | |
-We keep quite a lot of grain -to use as seed. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
-This is sent away to be tested. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
-Depending on the results... | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
-..the grain is given -certain treatments before sowing. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
-We have to pay a levy for this. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
-My father-in-law looks after that. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
-This form of farming is completely -different from keeping animals. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
-Yes, completely different. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
-This type of farming involves -a lot more work than I'd imagined... | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
-..to be honest. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:40 | |
-At home, -we harvest just a few fields. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-It doesn't work like that, here. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-No, it's not like Brynclochydd, -with its sheep and cattle. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
-The shed next to the grain store... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
-..provides storage -for produce from the pea fields. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
-Are these peas used mainly for -feeding cattle and other animals? | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
-Most of the crop -goes to the Middle East. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
-These are hard peas. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-They're very dry. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-People eat them as a snack - -in the form of wasabi peas. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
-These are used to make wasabi peas. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
-I like their colour, -and they're dry as a cork. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
-You have eggs in many baskets. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
-That's right - -it's a case of necessity. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:34 | |
-Because of the problem -with black-grass... | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
-..we've had to expand -our range of crops... | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
-..and there's more focus -on drilling in spring. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-Will Gilman, Delyth's husband, -is a local man. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
-They met at Harper Adams College. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
-Will has taken over the management -of Grange Farm from his father. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
-As this year's harvesting -draws to an end... | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
-..Will is already preparing -for next season. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
-Will, this is a new drill. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-Apparently, it does everything. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
-Apparently, it does everything. - -Yes, it's the first day out for us. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
-It's a new low disturbance drill, -causing minimum disturbance. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:18 | |
-We're going from a tine drill -to a dish drill. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-It's a direct drill, -straight into the stubble. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
-This cuts out ploughing -and cultivating. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-It does the sowing -and everything else. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
-Any cultivation we used to do... | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
-..in six or seven stages, depending -on how hard the ground was... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:39 | |
-..we now do in one pass. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
-You've got red soil, -very much like Breconshire. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
-Potentially, they think Rutland -was called Rutland... | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
-..because of the red land, red soil. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
-This is easy to work -but it's very drought-prone. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-There's not much depth of soil. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
-In places in this field, -we're down to centimetres. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
-The maximum depth of soil -is probably a metre... | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
-..but generally, -we're talking about a foot. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
-It's hard to plough. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-One thing I can't get away -from thinking... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
-..your cost of machinery is -pretty high for this type of work. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
-Yes, that's where scale comes into -it, that's why we do contracting... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
-..to offset these things. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
-We run on 0.25 units of horsepower -per acre, at the moment. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
-In the scheme of things, -that's actually quite low. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
-You're in that combine -from morning until dark. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
-I wouldn't swap it, though. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
-I've got three boys as well, -so the family farm should carry on. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
-Family farms -can be more efficient... | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
-..because you don't have to pay -office staff and things like that. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:57 | |
-Delyth probably doesn't agree! | 0:09:57 | 0:09:58 | |
-Delyth probably doesn't agree! - -Will, there's a lot of Welsh in you! | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
-Yes, the staff of the future -are raring to go! | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
-Delyth may not agree with Will -about paperwork. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
-On the other hand, Mam's assistance -is a great comfort at times. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
-A cuppa! | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
-Here you are, Delyth - a cuppa. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-I'm sure you'd welcome it. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:31 | |
-I'm sure you'd welcome it. - -Gwenda, how are you? | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
-Very well, thank you. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
-Does Mam help you with the accounts? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
-Does Mam help you with the accounts? - -It's handy to have her around. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
-She helps with the children. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
-It's a shame she lives so far away. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-You have three daughters, -and they've all flown the nest. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
-Rhian is still with us, -but she's moving to Cardiff, soon. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
-We'll be like Sion and Sian -at home. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-Nice to meet you. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
-I want to look at these accounts. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
-Do you do this every evening? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
-Do you do this every evening? - -Not every evening. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:04 | |
-When I have the opportunity - -when the children are in bed... | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-..or when they're out helping Dad. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
-You operate several different -farming systems. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-You do contract farming. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:17 | |
-Is there any share farming? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
-No, we don't do share farming. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-We do contract work, we rent... | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
-..and we manage. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
-There's a lot going on. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-It's a lot of work, -and you also have three children. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
-You can turn your hand to anything. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-I'm sure you're busy during lambing. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-Yes, and I enjoy lambing. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
-As a child, I used to help Dad -with lambing in Gwytherin. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:49 | |
-It's strange. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:54 | |
-Your children understand Welsh. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
-You speak Welsh with them -all the time. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
-I speak Welsh with them -and they understand... | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
-..but they answer in English. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |

-Delyth Gilman -of Grange Farm near Pickworth... | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
-..has been living in Rutland -for about 12 years. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
-She has settled in well. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
-One of the area's attractions is -this huge reservoir - Rutland Water. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:33 | |
-Construction of the reservoir -was completed in '76. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:40 | |
-Its main purpose... | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
-..is to provide water for homes -in Northampton and in Milton Keynes. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |
-It's been designed -as a tourist destination too. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |

-You bring your sons here -for a day's outing. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
-It's a convenient location. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
-There's something here for everyone -- a large park, cycle paths... | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
-..ice cream, and a small beach -where people can swim. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
-You can spend the whole day here. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
-We visit often. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
-A village was drowned -to create the reservoir. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
-It's similar to Tryweryn. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
-Really? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
-We can't see all of it. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
-It's very big. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:30 | |
-Yes, it's very big. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
-The drowned village -was called Hambleton. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
-The only thing -that remains is the church. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-That's all that remains. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
-In the shadow of St Andrew's - -another local church... | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
-..there is -a very interesting memorial. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
-Delyth's father, Morus Jones, -and her mother, Gwenda... | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
-..are here on holiday. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
-They live in Brynclochydd -in Gwytherin. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
-We're in Sempringham, which used -to be the location of a priory. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
-Nothing remains -of the priory's walls. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
-The battle at Cilmeri... | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-..led to the conquest of Wales -by Edward I. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf - -our last prince - was killed. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
-Llywelyn's daughter, Gwenllian, -was captured... | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
-..and brought to this place, where -she spent the rest of her life. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
-She was born in 1282 -and she died in 1337. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
-This is where she lived -all her life. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
-Is it a well-known story? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-The memorial is very simple. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
-Gwenllian was born -in Abergwyngregyn... | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
-..or perhaps in Llanfairfechan - -somewhere in that area. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
-The stone for the memorial -was brought from Penmaenmawr... | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-..as I understand. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:55 | |
-That makes it even more interesting. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-Local people -became interested in the story. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
-They realised its significance and -felt there should be a memorial... | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
-..and here it is. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:09 | |
-Most of the farmland at the Grange -is laid out in huge fields. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
-But parts of the landscape -are more similar to Wales. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
-This is where the family manages -a flock of 850 Easy Care sheep... | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
-..belonging to a neighbour. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
-You don't manure this land, do you? | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
-There's good grass, though. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
-It's been over 20 years -since this land was manured. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-Easy Care sheep -seem to do well here. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
-They can move -from one field to another... | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
-..and there are lots of fields. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
-Are they brought inside for lambing? | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
-Are they brought inside for lambing? - -No, lambing takes place outside. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-They're free to roam these fields. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
-We weaned the lambs last month. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
-Most lambs -go straight to the abattoir. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
-We keep... | 0:16:04 | 0:16:05 | |
-We keep yearling ewes... | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
-..and we sell male lambs -as fatstock. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
-Do you feed them? | 0:16:12 | 0:16:13 | |
-No, nothing. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
-There are buckets of mineral -in the field, but that's all. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
-You don't have to buy -any concentrates... | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
-..which means more profit. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
-Exactly, that's why we do it. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
-With the Easy Care breed, there's -a minimal amount of work involved | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
-The breed was developed -by an Anglesey man, Iolo Owen. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
-Yes. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:39 | |
-Yes. - -That's interesting. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:40 | |
-Back home at Grange Farm... | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
-..the children's Wiltshire Horn -sheep require treatment. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
-Delyth and Will are helping. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
-After gathering them in a pen... | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-..Tomos, the trainee shepherd, -watches his father carefully. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
-These belong to the boys, do they? | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
-These belong to the boys, do they? - -Yes. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
-They look after them. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:17 | |
-Up close, they're very big sheep! | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
-Yes, they are. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:22 | |
-They have sharp horns, too. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
-Do they tend to give birth to twins? | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-This year... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
-There are 20 ewes. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
-Fifteen of them gave birth to twins. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-Five gave birth to singletons. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
-They're quite prolific, aren't they? | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
-They're quite prolific, aren't they? - -They can look after themselves. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
-Lambing occurs outside. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
-You keep them pure-bred. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:50 | |
-You keep them pure-bred. - -Yes, they're pure-bred. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-We decided on this breed... | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
-..because we had -an area of grassland... | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
-..within a Site -of Special Scientific Interest. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
-We needed a rare breed -to graze this land. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
-So we bought a few of these. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
-They also give the children -something to do. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
-Grange Farm has thousands of acres -of fertile land... | 0:18:19 | 0:18:24 | |
-..but some of it -is kept uncultivated. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
-It provides a habitat for ducks, -pheasants and wild flowers. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
-You have two lakes for ducks - -wild ducks. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
-Last year, we brought in -500 ducks for shooting. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
-The remaining ducks have bred. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
-I'm not sure how many there are, -but they number about 200. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
-We give them a limited amount -of food in order to keep them here. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
-Is shooting -a popular autumn activity? | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
-Yes, it is, and a great deal of -shooting takes place in the area. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
-We run a small shoot on the farm -for our syndicate. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
-There are 16 members. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:19 | |
-They're supposed to help -with running the shoot... | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
-..but... | 0:19:24 | 0:19:25 | |
-I know the feeling! | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
-We get about 10 days' shooting... | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
-..between early October -and late January. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
-They were here earlier - -they've gone into hiding, now. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
-Yes - you frightened them away! | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
-They can move quickly -through this rough grass. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
-What about foxes? | 0:19:54 | 0:19:55 | |
-The land is very open. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:57 | |
-The population of foxes -is kept strictly controlled. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:02 | |
-We don't really have any problems. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
-A hunt operates in this area. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
-Here they are, look! | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-Oh, here they are! | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
-Let's get in front of them. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
-Let's get in front of them. - -Some of them, anyway. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
-These are older ducks. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
-In addition to being -a home for ducks... | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
-..this area of land -is rich in natural foods... | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
-..such as mixed seeds -for wild birds... | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
-..and plants that encourage insects. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
-This is an area -on the edge of a field... | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
-..that provides a habitat -for wildlife. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
-Yes, this is for wildlife. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
-As you can see, -there are lots of butterflies. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
-We can hear grasshoppers and bees. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-They're everywhere. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
-Conservation and farming -go hand in hand. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:01 | |
-They go together well. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
-You have more facilities than most -because you have more land. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
-But it works well. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
-We don't want to lose our wildlife. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-Those are last year's bales, -left behind. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
-They provide winter shelter -for wildlife. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
-What are you doing with this? | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
-It looks very smart! | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
-It contains food for pheasants -and partridges. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:29 | |
-They're around here, somewhere. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
-You have partridges? | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
-You have partridges? - -Yes. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:35 | |
-You have lots of trees on your land. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
-Do you keep any deer? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
-Yes. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
-We have lots of deer. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
-There are deer all over the place. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
-Do you catch a few of them? | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-Yes, a number of them. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
-There are two men -from Stoke-on-Trent... | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
-..who come to shoot them. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
-They're quite difficult to shoot. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
-Bees are getting everywhere! | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-Shall I hold the bucket? | 0:22:05 | 0:22:06 | |
-Corn and barley for the birds. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
-Sorry? | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
-You're giving them barley, are you? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:13 | |
-You're giving them barley, are you? - -Yes. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:14 | |
-Stuff that's too wet to go... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-Stuff that's left over -after cleaning. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-We have plenty of it. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
-Fair play to you. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:27 | |
-You know exactly what goes on -in every part of the farm. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
-You can turn your hand to anything. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:33 | |
-You can turn your hand to anything. - -I enjoy it. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
-The children enjoy -helping with easy chores, too. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
-It's good to encourage -their interest. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
-Farmers are farmers, -from cradle to grave. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
-Yes, it's in their blood, -from both sides of the family. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 | |
-That's the way they are. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
