-..either as a bed for animals -or to add fibre to the diet. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |

-There's a definite shortage. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |

-Are people panicking when they say -they might run out before March? | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-There has been an element -of panic buying. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-People wanting one load -are buying three. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
-They're splitting loads, -keeping them back for a week... | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-..before coming back again. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
-Every time I come back, -the price goes up. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-In many of the places -I've visited... | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
-..with people I've dealt with -for years... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
-..where only myself and two -or three others buy from there... | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
-..people are phoning -from all around. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
-The catalogue doesn't help -me that much. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
-Irish and Scots -are buying from my sellers. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-Today, the average price -was 130 for a tonne of hay. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:50 | |
-It's double the average price -this time last year. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-Freight costs are added -on top of that. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-Adrian Cannon from Tayler -and Fletcher organised today's sale. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
-It's been an exceptional sale, -an extraordinary one. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-There's a demand, -there's not the supply. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
-There was a wet harvest, -a tricky harvest. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
-The choppers went in, maybe not -enough was being offered at harvest. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
-People said, -"Right, well, I've got to get on." | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
-The arable farmers around here, -they just want to get planted. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
-It's more important to them -to plant next year's crop... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
-..than worry about whether -they'll get the price on straw. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
-If they see what we've got here -today, they'd be kicking themselves. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
-That's the season -and every season is different. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
-This one is making -an exceptional season. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
-I don't know if it's doing -anyone any good. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
-It's swings and roundabouts. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
-What's going to happen next year? -It shifts from year to year. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
-Sometimes in farming -we need stability. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
-Can I ask you, sir, what's brought -you here all the way from Wales? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
-This is where we get our hay -when there's a shortage on farms. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:12 | |
-We've bought a few loads... | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
-..to make sure we have enough hay -for our faithfuls... | 0:04:16 | 0:04:22 | |
-..to look after them. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
-The price has increased... | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
-..almost double what we were -paying here last year. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
-That's going to make -a big dent in the pocket. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
-There were people here today... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-..who couldn't quite believe -the price they'd paid for the hay. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
-I'm one of them. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
-I don't know. I know after today, -whoever I phone will want more. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
-There's no doubt about that. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
-I've bought some at the sale today, -the price was high. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-That's where the price -is going to be. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-It's an expensive time. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-One farmer who's worried -about the increase in price... | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-..and the effect -it'll have on his business... | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-..is beef, sheep and dairy farmer -Andrew Jones. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-Andrew, what's the main use of hay -on your farm? | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
-We've been dependant on hay -for many years. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-So far, we use 50 tonnes a year... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
-..because we winter the sheep -and lamb inside. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
-Of course, we looked at ways -of using less hay for cattle... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
-..by moving on to sawdust. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
-Others have moved to sand and paper. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
-We have to use hay -for the calves and heifers... | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
-..because they need to be -kept clean. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
-If we feed them silage, -they become too wet and dirty. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
-Did you have spare hay this year -or have you bought some in? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
-We bought one load. We've bought -from the same supplier for 30 years. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-Fair play, -he's been good to us over the years. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
-At times, he might have been -more expensive... | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
-..but we've stuck to the supplier. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-This year, -I'm hoping he'll look after us. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-Will there be enough hay available -later in the season? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
-The price is double -what it was last year. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
-Almost. -I hope it doesn't get that high. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
-We need it, we're dependant on it -because we lamb indoors. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:37 | |
-We don't take any of the sheep away. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
-We might be better off -doing that this year, who knows? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
-With the price of milk and red meat -higher this year... | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
-..compared to previous years... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
-..is hay price another obstacle -to farmer's increasing their income? | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
-They're talking about a year -of high prices at the moment. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
-Next year might be very different. -We've seen prices lower than this. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-Will one year alter your system -or will you continue as you are? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-We'll continue, -there's no other choice. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
-There might be another wet year -next year. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-The English weather -controls everything. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
-If the English don't harvest -their wheat, we suffer. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-Would you change your system -because of the price of hay? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
-No, not at all. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-Hay has been expensive for years. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-We're in this system -and we're sticking to it. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
-I spoke to a farmer the other -day who lambs 1,000 sheep indoors. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
-He was considering lambing out this -year because of the shortage of hay. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
-We have to get used to prices -going up and down. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-For a dairy farmer, you're used -to volatility in prices. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:59 | |
-We've got used to that -over the years. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
-The milk price is high -at the moment. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
-If the hay price rose again, -it could cause problems for farmers. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
-It could cause -a lot of strain and stress. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
-The forecast for hay prices -this season - it will be expensive. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
-Who knows what will happen -to next year's crop? | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-Supply and demand -are controlling the price. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-It's time for a break. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
-After the break, what is the link -between beer and pigs? | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
-We'll also discuss opportunities -for future farmers. See you soon. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |

-An increasing problem -for many farmers these days... | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-..is knowing when and how -to retire... | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
-..leaving the next generation -to take the reins. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
-What if no-one follows you? | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
-Sometimes, all you need -is a little advice and support. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
-After years of working on farms... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-..Rhys Richards -from Talybont, Aberystwyth... | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
-..wanted to start farming -on his own farm... | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
-..but didn't know how to do it. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
-He then heard about the Venture -enterprise from Farming Connect. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
-It pairs young farmers without farms -with farmers looking to retire. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
-For the past year, he's farmed -with the Nichols brothers... | 0:09:32 | 0:09:38 | |
-..on Gernant Farm near Rhydlewis. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
-I was working for a contractor. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
-That's when I looked into -partnership farming. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
-I was shearing in New Zealand... | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
-..and I spoke to many farmers -out there. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-I saw that shared farming and -partnerships worked for them there. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:59 | |
-I returned to Wales and looked -into renting a farm... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
-..or becoming a tenant farmer. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-I soon realised that a partnership -was the best option for me. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
-Could you see a future for you -in farming... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
-..without this kind of partnership? | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
-No. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 | |
-It's very difficult for young people -to get into farming. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
-You need a Lottery win -to buy a farm. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
-Sometimes that's not enough. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
-I could have carried on -working for others... | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
-..but a partnership -gives you a better opportunity. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-It also gives you more -responsibility in farming. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
-Einir Davies -is the mentoring programme manager. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
-She's leading this project. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-The 102 applicants -who've registered with Venture... | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
-..will be given plenty of support -to realise their dreams. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:59 | |
-It was established two years ago. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
-Since then, -we've paired 36 people together. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
-We're working with those -partnerships right now... | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
-..to support them -to establish new business plans. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
-We're also supplying -the right legal advice... | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-..to make sure that -a formal arrangement exists... | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
-..and make sure the needs of both -parties are represented formally. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
-Seven enterprises -have now been completed formally. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:35 | |
-How difficult is it -to find the right pairing? | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-We have balanced levels of people... | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-..offering opportunities -and wanting opportunities... | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
-..balanced levels -have registered with the scheme... | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
-..but we've seen limited numbers -of young farmers... | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
-..taking advantage -of those opportunities. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
-One of obstacles they noted... | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
-..was their desire -to stay within their locality. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
-They wanted to stay close -to their family homes. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
-Rhys is an example of someone who's -ready to overcome that obstacle... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
-..to succeed as a farmer. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
-Rhys was led through the small print -by CARA... | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
-..a company which gives farmers -specialist advice. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
-It looks challenging initially -but once you're in to it... | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
-..you get a lot of help -from Farming Connect... | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
-..and John Crimes from CARA -helped with the paperwork. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
-We moved on to where we are today -after a trial of six months. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
-It's worked out well. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
-Tell us about the partnership. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
-We had a six-month trial to see -if everything worked out between us. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:50 | |
-I live in the farmhouse -with the boss. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
-Moving forward, -I have a five-year contract. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
-I'm hoping to get a 50% share -of the cattle. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
-What's the key to the success -of this partnership? | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
-Getting on with your partners. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
-If you don't get on, -there's no point starting. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
-It'll just eat you up -from the inside. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
-Here on Gernant Farm, -Nick and David Nichols... | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-..are glad that Rhys -joined the business. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
-The brothers keep 70 crossed -Limousin Simmental suckler cattle... | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
-..in an organic system -on 320 acres of land. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
-We were finding -the physical work more difficult. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
-We had the worry -that if one of us became ill... | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
-..the one left would be swamped. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
-Not too much work for a young man -but for an old man, it is too much. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
-We thought about -letting the farm out. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
-We were advised that perhaps -the farm would deteriorate. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
-Maintenance wouldn't be done -to our standards. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
-We went to John Crimes at CARA... | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
-..and he came up -with the idea of this partnership. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
-We took a gamble -and it's working very well. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
-We've all got to get on well -for the partnership to work. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
-We all say what we're thinking -or come up with different ideas... | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
-..and sort it out from there. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
-We seem to be getting on like -three brothers. It's working well. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
-When you introduce new ideas, -are they ready to listen? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:37 | |
-They're more than ready -to listen to new ideas. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-They're not old-fashioned, -they're open to my ideas. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
-If we discuss the idea -and we're all agreed, we try it. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
-If it doesn't work, -we put it down to experience. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
-What's your advice to someone in the -same position you were in last year? | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-I'd encourage them to look into it. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
-There are plenty of farms out there -looking for someone like me... | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
-..to help on the farm. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
-If you don't like it, -there's a six-month trial. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
-It's hard -to get into farming these days. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
-At the moment, this was -the best option I could find... | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
-..to achieve a career in farming. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-This scheme provides -the ideal answer for both parties. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
-The opportunity for the two brothers -to slow down... | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
-..without having -to give up completely... | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-..and the opportunity -for a young man to farm. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-After travelling to New Zealand -and returning to Wales... | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
-..I didn't think -I'd have a career in farming. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-It's important not to give up. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
-Looking in to this partnership -is the best thing I've ever done. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:04 | |
-According to CAMRA, -the campaign for real ale... | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
-..29 pubs close each week -in Britain. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
-One part of the industry that's -growing is the brewing sector. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:25 | |
-There are 40 breweries -in North and West Wales. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
-One brewery -that was established recently... | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
-..is Cwrw Ogwen in Bethesda. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
-There are ten shareholders -in the brewery. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
-One of them is Elfyn Roberts. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
-Two years ago, -I retired as a teacher. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
-We had a conversation -when we were in Portmeirion. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:57 | |
-I was wondering what to do -after retiring. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-A group of us decided to open -a brewery in the Ogwen Valley. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
-We have plenty of drinkers -and pubs here. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
-Successful breweries had been -established on the Lleyn Peninsula. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
-We all decided to give it a go -and that's how the journey started. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:19 | |
-Ten of us came together -and invested some money. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
-Since it was formed, -the brewery has worked... | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
-..with local farmer and contractor -Gareth Wyn Jones. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
-He has an agreement with Cwrw Ogwen. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
-Gareth collects the waste -from the brewery business... | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
-..and feeds it -to his cattle and pigs. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
-He's here twice a week -to collect the barley... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-..and his pigs flourish -on the barley. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
-I've eaten a piece of the pork - -it's wonderful. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-The taste is evident in the pork. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
-He comes back every week. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
-It's important to see rural -businesses working together. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
-With the price -of animal feed increasing... | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
-..every help is a blessing. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
-What's the story of your -relationship with Cwrw Ogwen? | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
-I already knew all the lads. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
-We'd drink in the Sior in Bethesda. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-The lads decided to brew -their own beer in Bethesda. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-I realised that some barley -would become available. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
-I gave it to the cattle first -but they weren't eating it all. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
-The lads were busy so I kept -getting more and more of it. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
-I decided that the best option -would be feeding it to pigs. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
-You bought the pigs to eat -the barley you were receiving. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
-Do they fatten well -on Cwrw Ogwen barley? | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
-Yes, they do. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
-I add some feed to it, some protein. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
-I think there's a lot of goodness -in this barley. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-I think there's something in it -because they're doing well on it. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:09 | |
-Until when do you keep the pigs? | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
-I buy them in -when they're two months old. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
-I keep them for around four months. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
-When they're about six months old, -they're ready. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
-I try to get them up to 80 kilos. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
-They're sent for slaughter -when they're about 60. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
-Do you sell the meat? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
-Do you sell the meat? - -In boxes of quarters. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
-With a 60-kilo pig, -you get four boxes of 15 kilos. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
-That's ideal for people. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
-Brewing high quality beer -is no mean feat. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
-Judging by the popularity -of this beer... | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
-..they must be doing -something right. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
-Is it almost ready, Richard? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
-Another 10 minutes, -then I can add the hops... | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
-..and let it boil -for a little longer. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
-How much beer can you get -from this large barrel? | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
-About five casks - -there are 72 pints in a firkin. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:18 | |
-This is enough for five firkins. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
-How many firkins -do you sell every week? | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
-Ten. We brew twice a week. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
-We've sold ten every single week. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
-Is that enough? | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
-No. We're looking to expand -the business in the new year. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
-We'll invest in new gear -to produce 25 firkins at a time. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-The more barley you use here... | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
-..the more pigs -will be fattened in Gerlan. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:50 | |
-They had four there -at the beginning of the year. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
-There are 13 there now. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
-The people of Bethesda -will live on beer and pork. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
-And bacon! | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
-There's no waste here, Gareth. -The little piggies enjoy their food. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:14 | |
-They clean their troughs. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
-Is this the way you'll develop -as a farmer? | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
-For someone like me -on a small farm... | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
-..it's the only way forward. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-I've built this shed and the shed -will have to pay for itself. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:32 | |
-The only way is to keep animals in -all the time. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
-I'll sell the meat locally -to people. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
-How many pigs do you have now? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
-I have 14 here now. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
-You might have 140 here -this time next year. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
-You enjoy it. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-Yes indeed. It gives me pleasure. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
-Enterprise is important -for people in rural Wales. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
-It's good to see these two -businesses succeeding together. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
-What are your hopes for the future? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
-It would be nice to expand -and employ local people... | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
-..and give Gareth more barley -to help him develop his business. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
-You're supporting a local man who's -trying to make a living in farming. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:19 | |
-We're helping each other -in a close knit community. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
-It's very important. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:24 | |
-Good luck to the new enterprise. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
