-2018 is likely to be -a crucial year... | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
-..for the future of agriculture -in Wales as we face many challenges. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:57 | |
-There are concerns -about losing our lamb market... | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
-..and the introduction -of export tariffs. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
-One thing is certain, -major changes are afoot. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
-In the Oxford Farming Conference, -one thing became apparent. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
-The Basic Payment -would continue beyond 2019. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
-Former Assistant Chief Executive -of the RWAS Aled Jones... | 0:01:18 | 0:01:23 | |
-..was there on our behalf. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
-Aled is familiar -with the conference. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-He's attended it as winner -of an RWAS scholarship... | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
-..and also as a speaker -in the conference's annual debate. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
-What's ahead of him this year... | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
-..with only a year to go -until we leave the European Union? | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
-The beginning of a new year... | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-..is the ideal opportunity -to look to the future. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
-That's why I'm in Oxford -for the annual farming conference. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
-There's a lot to discuss -over the next two days. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
-I'm looking forward -to hearing the speakers... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-..discussing the future -of our industry. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-The opening session of -the conference is the political one. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
-Michael Gove, Defra's Secretary -of State, is first on stage. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-We guaranteed the amount -we allocate to farming support... | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-..will be protected throughout -and beyond this period to 2022. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
-The money pot for farmers -stays at the same level... | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-..3bn a year in the short term... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
-..but what will happen -to the devolved nations? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
-You set out an ambitious vision -for a British agricultural policy. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
-How much of that will filter down -to the devolved administrations? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-Is your thinking aligned -along those visions? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
-I have found that Lesley Griffiths, -on behalf of the Welsh Government... | 0:02:53 | 0:02:59 | |
-..to be a thoughtful and progressive -colleague with whom to work. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
-Obviously, one thing -with Scotland and Wales... | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
-..is that it's in the nature -of the physical environment... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
-..of the landscape that different -types of farming predominate. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
-Different types of support -may be required. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
-We can make sure -that devolved administrations... | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
-..develop their own policy. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
-People recognise -that we want to encourage... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
-..more productive agriculture, -more sustainable agriculture... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
-..and also make sure -we're thinking environmentally. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
-That's a theme we all echo. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
-Michael Gove has set out his agenda -with many challenges. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
-He also offers stability -in the short term. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
-I recognise the heart -of almost all farming businesses... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
-..is food production. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:50 | |
-A core element of Defra's mission -is supporting farmers... | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
-..in the provision of competitively -priced, healthy, sustainable... | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
-..and nutritious food -and pursuing greater market access. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
-One of the major points -Gove emphasised... | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
-..was the creation -of a new food policy... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
-..to represent the food chain -in its entirety. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-He wants standards maintained -and better access to markets... | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
-..and more value for our produce. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-He also emphasised -that Defra is confident... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-..of creating partnerships in Europe -to sell our produce. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
-That's their aim -and they're confident of doing so. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
-Time will tell. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:32 | |
-When he started talking, he talked -about food and that's important. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:39 | |
-We often hear that -the environment is the top priority. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
-Today he talked about food. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
-My job is to produce food. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
-The environment is important -to us all because we live in it... | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
-..but food production -is more important to most farmers. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:59 | |
-Paying landowners for the amount -of agricultural land they have... | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
-..is unjust and inefficient. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
-Gove was certain -that CAP was defective. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-After the handover period... | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-..a new policy of farming subsidies -will be introduced. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
-What does it emphasise? -The environment, mostly. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
-That's one of the aims and the -main focus of our subsidy system. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
-Upland farmers in Wales or Cumbria, -crofters in Scotland... | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
-..or small livestock farmers -in Northern Ireland. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-We need support -for those who keep rural life vital. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
-He acknowledged the value -of upland farming. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
-The businesses might be small -and barely profitable... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
-..but the contribution they make -to communities, rural life... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
-..and the environment and landscape -is important to safeguard... | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-..and it requires subsidies. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-I welcomed the idea -of helping upland farms... | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
-..rural communities -and the environment. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-I would have liked -if he'd added more detail... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:08 | |
-..about how the devolved nations... | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
-..can have their voices heard -when new policies are made. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:17 | |
-Finally, -Gove emphasised the importance... | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
-..of defending and improving -our natural resources. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:29 | |
-It will be a central part -of policies from now on. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-Michael Gove outlining -his aims there... | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-..but, as has been -mentioned already... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-..agriculture has been devolved -to Cardiff. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-What does Lesley Griffiths, -the Cabinet Secretary... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-..for Energy, Planning and Rural -Affairs, have to say about this? | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
-We have been very firm in our belief -that the UK Government... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
-..needed to commit to fair funding -for our farmers post-Brexit. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
-It was welcome to hear 2024, -I'd only previously heard 2022. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-The most important thing is that we -have that assurance about funding. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
-We said we could not -lose a penny post-Brexit... | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-..and we'll hold -the UK Government to account. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
-Does this announcement provide -farmers with more stability? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-One of the partners of Cara, -who offer agricultural advice... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-..is Wendy Jenkins. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
-It's important that farmers -start looking to the future. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
-This is the time to do so. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-They have six years of security -in financial terms. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
-Businesses should look at the -opportunities on their farms. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
-Look at farms as businesses -and not a way of life. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-They should research -additional income streams... | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
-..adapt accordingly -to new policies... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
-..not rely on payments and get -the farm working to its potential. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:57 | |
-What is Lesley Griffiths' vision -for future policies? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
-We will have our own -Welsh agricultural policy. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-I've made it clear, agriculture has -been devolved to Wales for 20 years. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
-Any policies we have should be right -for Wales, right for our farmers. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
-I've always said I cannot envisage -a time farmers won't need support. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:20 | |
-Michael Gove talked about public -money for public goods and services. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
-That's the line we've looked at. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-It's important we have high-quality -food which Wales is renowned for. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-It's equally important we have -high environmental standards. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
-The direction is clear. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
-Some weeks ago, -a new network was launched... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
-..to bring farming -and nature bodies together... | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-..to discuss the way forward. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-Farmer Geraint Davies, Fedw Arian, -Bala, is part of the network. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
-It's important to have a network -such as the one we've formed... | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
-..to inspire debate -about the importance... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
-..of caring for the environment -the way farmers currently do. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
-Bodies such as RSPB, -Wildlife Trust, Woodland Trust... | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
-..have been on the other side -of the table traditionally... | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
-..where agriculture is involved. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-Creating partnerships is crucial if -we want to take agriculture forward. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
-We want to create -a successful future for it. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
-One man who's watching -the Brexit negotiations carefully... | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
-..is the IBERS lecturer -in Aberystwyth, Penri James. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
-Farmers won't receive money -because they farm... | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
-..or because they hold -a certain amount of land. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
-They'll receive money -for doing something. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
-That's similar to some -of the Pillar 2 strands we've seen. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
-If a farmer undertakes a project... | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
-..or fences a portion of land -near a river... | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
-..they receive -a certain amount of money. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-That's compensation money, -not money for public welfare. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
-This is an example -of what's happening... | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
-..but the way the payment -is allocated will be very different. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
-The way we use our animals on this -farm to control the landscape... | 0:10:20 | 0:10:25 | |
-..the meat we sell -is merely a bi-product of that. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
-The taxpayer should be proud -of buying our produce. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
-We look after the environment -and produce food at the same time. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-Plenty to discuss in the future -and change is inevitable. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:50 | |
-Let's take a break. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
-Join us later -as we re-visit Oxford... | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
-..and we attend -a hedgelaying competition. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
-See you in two minutes' time. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |

-Brexit claimed a high proportion -of the debate in Oxford... | 0:11:10 | 0:11:16 | |
-..but many other points -were also raised. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-It's a conference that's certainly -looking to the future. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
-Let's return to Aled Jones. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
-In the next part -of the conference... | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-..we heard about the challenges -some farmers have faced. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
-They've had to change to survive. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
-..some pretty amazing people. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
-Doctors, surgeons, -therapists, family, friends... | 0:11:40 | 0:11:45 | |
-..that have helped me -rebuild my life. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
-Tim Papworth from Norfolk fell off -a ladder in a potato shed in 2010. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
-Since then, he's raised awareness -of health and safety. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:58 | |
-"I can't have something dangerous. -I'll fix it." | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-What I should have thought was... | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
-.."Are you the right man -to go up that ladder?" | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
-Carla Borges explained in detail... | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
-..what she's achieved with -the family business in Brazil... | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
-..from the position -of a woman in agriculture. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-We wanted to go one step further. -I was watching YouTube... | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
-Duncan McConchie -spoke about diversifying. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
-He returned to the family farm -after a media career. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
-He's established a tourist business -on the farm's hilly land. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
-Every story had its own message... | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
-..but what impression -has the conference left... | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
-..on Rhys Richards, this year's -recipient of the RWAS Scholarship? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
-It's been a great opportunity -to meet other people... | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
-..who are linked to farming -up and down the country. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
-We've listened -to a variety of farmers. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
-Did you feel inspired -listening to them? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
-Are you confident for the future? | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
-Yes. I'm still nervous but let's see -what comes out of the deal. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
-I'm a sheep farmer at home. I'm -nervous about the deal with Europe. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
-When we get more information -about that... | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-..I'll be more confident -about planning my business. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
-Night has fallen in Oxford. -I'm here in the historic Union. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
-I remember being here two years ago, -nervous about the debate. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:44 | |
-Tonight, -it's Gareth Wyn Jones' turn. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
-I wonder how he'll get on. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
-The debate subject is -this house believes eating meat... | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
-..will become a thing of the past -by 2100. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-George Monbiot will debate -in favour of the subject. | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
-Gareth will oppose. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
-The Union chamber is packed -as everyone prepares. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
-We can feed everyone in this country -on 3m of our 18m hectares. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:11 | |
-That majority of farmers -that I know, and landowners... | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-..they want to leave that land -in a better state... | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
-..for the next generation. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
-What we've seen at the same time, -which is what we've seen before... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
-..is that the technological shift... | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
-..will be accompanied -by an ethical shift. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
-I really believe -they should respect our right... | 0:14:32 | 0:14:37 | |
-..to produce it and eat it... | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-..because that is something -I believe in. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
-With the speakers finished, the -audience can express their views. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:49 | |
-Who wins the debate? | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
-As expected, the motion was refused -and Gareth was victorious. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
-Congratulations. -You won the debate. How do you feel? | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
-Excellent. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
-Standing there, I never thought -I'd do anything like this. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-I feel it's something -that needs to be debated. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
-The vegans are raising their voices -and there are more of them. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:17 | |
-You need to be respectful... | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
-..and speak about the future -for us as farmers. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
-We need to listen to their views. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
-Tonight, -we had respect on both sides. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
-We've had fun and that's important. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
-I spoke from the heart. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:33 | |
-I spoke about something -I believe in. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
-I hope I've made sure that there's -a future for the younger generation. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:43 | |
-George Monbiot was a well-known -adversary. Are you friends now? | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |
-I don't know. I gave him a heart -from the Carneddau. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
-Hopefully George will accept this. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
-We'll never agree but it's important -for both sides to show respect. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
-The first day is over -and there's plenty to ponder. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
-This is the final day. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
-The conference embraces change this -year by moving to a new location... | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
-..the Sheldonian Theatre. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
-James Wong is the first speaker. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
-He wants to reduce waste and get -the best nourishment from our food. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
-We waste a third -of all food that's produced. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
-We have more than enough food. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
-I enjoyed James Wong's speech. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
-He impressed us with statistics -about the future of food... | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
-..and how the industry will feed -the world's population... | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
-..which will soon reach 10bn. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:47 | |
-What struck me was the problem -he emphasised about food waste. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:53 | |
-Not waste in production -or processing... | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
-..but the waste that happens -in our own homes. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
-That was the main problem. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
-Well, the conference is over. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
-One thing is certain. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
-As we leave the EU, -the change process is inevitable. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
-The conference has enlightened us -on government policies... | 0:17:16 | 0:17:21 | |
-..and the handover period. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
-It's challenged us -to think differently. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-The message is clear - -don't be scared of change... | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
-..embrace the opportunities -that come your way. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
-That's the important message -to secure the future. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
-Let's return to Wales. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
-One tradition could provide the -answer to Michael Gove's challenge. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:49 | |
-Technology has helped farmers -in their day-to-day lives... | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
-..but some rural practices -still rely... | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
-..on a good eye and a skilful hand. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
-One of those is hedgelaying. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
-I'm in St Asaph -to see the best at work. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-This competition was first held -in 2011... | 0:18:14 | 0:18:19 | |
-..to raise money -for a motor neurone charity... | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |

-This is the seventh event. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |

-Since we started this in 2011... | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
-..a lot of people -have restarted laying hedges. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
-They lay hedges for us too. -Fair play to them. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
-They enjoy coming -and raising money for a good cause. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
-In other professional competitions, -they're paid to compete. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
-We don't do that. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:52 | |
-If we paid them, -we'd have no money left. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
-There are 30 competitors -here today... | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |

-..for youngsters, novices -and an open category. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
-The aim is to lay the branches -on top of each other... | 0:19:09 | 0:19:14 | |
-..to a height of a metre -above ground. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
-The trees will then grow back -from the root, through each other... | 0:19:18 | 0:19:26 | |
-..to create a boundary -that stops livestock crossing... | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
-..and provide shelter for birds -and different creatures. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
-It's one of the best things you can -do to promote biodiversity... | 0:19:35 | 0:19:40 | |

-I didn't have -enough confidence to do it. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
-I joined Dad down in Hafren, -Llanidloes, a month ago. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |

-You have to. Your work -is laid over your neighbour's. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:52 | |

-It's as good as the contents -of a sheep's belly. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
