-New research shows the way forward -for the rural economy... | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
-..as we face uncertainty -with Brexit. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
-The future of agriculture -and rural industries... | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
-..depends on benefitting -from the opportunities. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
-After years of service -to the local community... | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
-..a Ceredigion shop -closes for the last time. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
-We're looking ahead to the future -and the new enterprise. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
-This is the next step in our lives. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-Over the years, -a lot of stories have emerged... | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
-..about wild cats -attacking sheep in Ceredigion. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
-The latest story is that -a lynx escaped from a zoo in Borth. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
-The lynx has now been destroyed -by Ceredigion Council. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-They'd tried to trap it for days. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
-One farmer who thinks -it was too late... | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
-..is Owen Jenkins. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
-He lost sheep on his land next door -to the Borth Wild Animal Kingdom. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
-What did you see in the field? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-It was Tuesday night, about 3.30. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-I was in the fields -and I saw a dead sheep. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
-I walked on -and found another dead sheep. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
-When I saw the sixth carcass, -I turned around... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-..and 50 yards away, I saw the lynx. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
-What did you think had happened -at the time? | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-I didn't know what had happened -until I saw the lynx. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
-There was little evidence -to see on the sheep. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
-When I looked at them closely... | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
-..I could see the same bite mark -under the throat. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
-How close to the house -were the sheep that were killed? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-The closest sheep -was within 200 yards to the zoo. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
-The furthest sheep -were about half a mile away. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
-They were close to the village -of Glanwern. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
-The council, -the police and the Assembly... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
-..haven't acknowledged -that the lynx killed the sheep. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
-The post-mortem -didn't make it clear... | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
-..whether a dog or lynx -killed the sheep. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
-Was this your first experience? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-Was this your first experience? - -I've never lost a sheep to a dog... | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-..or any other animal. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-Many traps had been set -for the lynx in the vicinity... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
-..but following many attempts -to catch it... | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
-..Ceredigion Council -decided to destroy the lynx... | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
-..when it was spotted -in a residential area. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-Ceredigion Council turned -down our request for an interview... | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
-..but they made a statement. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-A post-mortem was carried out -on one of the sheep that died... | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
-..on land -close to the Wild Animal Kingdom. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
-The report confirmed -that there was evidence... | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
-..of a traumatic injury -to the throat. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
-There were no other cases -of multiple deaths... | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
-..in such a short space of time. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
-The sheep's cause of death -was not established... | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-..but there was evidence of trauma. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-But the cause of death -wasn't determined. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-Dr Paul O'Donoghue, Chief Scientific -Advisor of the Lynx UK Trust... | 0:04:01 | 0:04:07 | |
-..thinks farmers' fears -are unfounded. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-I've seen the reports and the -evidence about the lynx attack. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
-It doesn't look like a lynx -was responsible... | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
-..for those eight sheep deaths. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
-Lynx will kill once -and eat the carcass. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
-It's biologically unprecedented -for it to kill eight in a night. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
-What the death of the lynx at Borth -has shown... | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
-..is that people weren't happy -that it was shot. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
-Rob Davies thinks that destroying -the animal was an over-reaction. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
-He's treated a number of different -animals, including lynx. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
-I don't think there was a need -to destroy the lynx. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
-It was reared by people, -it wouldn't be scared of people. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
-Someone could have got close enough -to shoot a dart... | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 | |
-..sedate it and carry it home. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
-Was it a danger to people? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
-There's no evidence to show -that they attack people... | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
-..unless you corner them. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-That's when they attack. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
-The UK Lynx Trust -is to re-introduce the animal... | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-..to Northumberland and Scotland. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
-By extending this to Wales... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
-..it would be met with opposition -from sheep farmers... | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
-..especially after the events -at Borth. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-There's a reason why lynx -were driven out of this country... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
-..a thousand years ago. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
-They caused pain -and financial losses to people. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
-It'll happen again. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
-We understand that farmers are -concerned that lynx will come back. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
-We have to go back -to the scientific facts. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
-Across Europe, -scientific data shows... | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
-..the kill rate -is 0.4 sheep per lynx per year. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-A lynx kills a sheep -every two and a half years. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
-No-one can say -that's a major threat to livestock. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
-The background mortality in sheep is -between two and six million a year. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:13 | |
-That's almost a quarter -of the UK flock. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-In contrast -to England and Scotland... | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-..the Welsh landscape isn't -suitable to re-introduce the lynx. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:26 | |
-I don't think -it would be an ideal place. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-I don't think we have enough deer -on our hills for them to eat. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
-We're better off -looking towards Northumberland. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
-They want to reintroduce six -to Northumberland from Sweden... | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
-..four females and two males. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-That would be a much better place. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
-There's far more land there, -there are plenty of hills... | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
-..and considerably more deer. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
-The possibility of the lynx -being re-introduced to Wales... | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
-..is not on the horizon -for a long time. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-Wales doesn't have the roe deer -population to support the lynx. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
-I've already caught up -with members of the YFC... | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
-..who chose to keep pigs. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
-Today I've come to see -a similar scheme. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-This time, -it involves beef production. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-The scheme is part -of the rural development plan... | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
-..which is funded by the Welsh -Government and European funding. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
-It's organised -by Menter a Busnes and the YFC. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
-Luned Evans is the scheme manager. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-Initially, what were the scheme's -aims when it was first created? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
-It's a partnership between the YFC, -Menter a Busnes and Dunbia. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:53 | |
-The aim is to create opportunities -for the members... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
-..to develop skills, -receive training... | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
-..leading to an income source -for businesses... | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
-..which are already set up -or are being set up. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
-How many members -have signed up to the scheme so far? | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-There are many parts to the scheme. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-Seven members are participating -in calf breeding. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
-Looking at the broader picture... | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-..are you preparing farmers for -the prospect of less subsidies... | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-..and the consequences of Brexit? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
-This is an additional income stream -for the farm. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-That's something -we're trying to promote. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
-We're looking at the scheme -from a business point of view. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
-It needs to be relevant -to other enterprises on the farm. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
-They need to know the profit -and production costs. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
-Arwel is a young farmer -who's benefitted from this scheme. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-He farms Brynglas, Caersws. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
-What inspired -a tenant sheep farmer... | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
-..to step into a new farming sector? | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
-It was an offer and an opportunity -to use the sheds. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
-We don't have to cut down on sheep -to keep more animals on the farm. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
-It was a new item -to have cattle and sheep... | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |
-..to give us some variety... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:25 | |
-..in case demand for sheep -dropped in a few years' time. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
-It gives me a fall-back option. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
-What kind of farm is it? -Does it make a difference? | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
-The calves stay indoors. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
-The sheds were empty -from the end of April... | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
-..until the beginning of January. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
-There was a chance to use them -instead of leaving them empty. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
-After receiving the advice -and deciding to go for it... | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
-..how much work was needed -before the calves arrived? | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
-There was a lot of work. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
-We had to install -a hot water system to mix the milk. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
-We needed more lights. -We've invested heavily in the shed. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
-I've noticed that you've installed -an effective and unique fan. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
-I haven't seen a fan like that -working in a shed before. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
-The fan works well. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
-We want to save costs on injections -and medicine for the calves. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:24 | |
-The fan makes the shed -a lot healthier. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
-We need fresh air circulating -through the shed all day, every day. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
-How old are they -when they arrive her? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
-They're reared -with the dairy herd on farms. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
-They come to us -when they're two weeks old. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
-They've already had -their first milk by then. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
-They stay with us for 12 weeks. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-They have five weeks on milk. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
-We wean them off milk -and move them to the feed. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
-Once they reach their target weight, -120kgs... | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
-..we move them off to farms -to finish them... | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
-..between a year and 15 months... | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
-..and they hope to get them -on the hook by then. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
-I think we're in a position where -the numbers game is important. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
-If we can gather -a little profit from each one... | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-..and increase those numbers, -it'll help. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-I don't think you can make large -profits on small numbers these days. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
-The scheme is supported -by the young farmers... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
-..but what about the future? | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-This is a pilot scheme -funded until March 2018. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:43 | |
-We hope there will be an extension -but that's yet to be confirmed. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:49 | |
-You talked -about the seven core members. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
-I know that many more have expressed -an interest in the scheme. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
-Is there an opportunity for them -to benefit in some way? | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
-There will be four meetings -over the next few weeks. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
-They will offer -basic, practical training... | 0:12:05 | 0:12:10 | |
-..on how to rear calves -and the pitfalls during rearing. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
-If farmers are still interested, -they can visit our website. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:20 | |
-There, they can find -all the information. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
-That's all for now. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
-Join us after the break for news on -more opportunities in rural areas. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
-And it's the end of an era -for one farm shop in Ceredigion. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
-See you soon. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |

-With the date we leave -the European Union confirmed... | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
-..the clock is ticking -and there's pressure to ensure... | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
-..that the rural economy -will flourish in the future. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
-Recently, Menter a Busnes organised -a special meeting to discuss this. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
-Menter a Busnes organised -a conference at Plas Isaf, Corwen. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
-The title was -Succeeding In The Face of Change. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
-It showed the way forward -for rural businesses post-Brexit. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
-As we face Brexit -and other challenges... | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
-..it's important to look at new -opportunities in different sectors. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
-That includes -catering and tourism. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
-We also show how communication -and technology... | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
-..can offer opportunities -to all kinds of businesses. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
-We commissioned a report from OB3 -and Jeremie Forney from Switzerland. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:50 | |
-He's been assessing different -farming families across the world... | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
-..in Scandinavia and New Zealand -in particular. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
-He's looked at the most effective -techniques and methods... | 0:13:59 | 0:14:04 | |
-..to transfer information -to farmers... | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
-..and what helps them to develop -for the future. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
-Heledd Bebb from OB3 -was part of the research... | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
-..to discover which skills -are needed... | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
-..for the agricultural sector -in the future. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
-What was consistent in the projects -we saw across Europe... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
-..was the importance of providing -support for the whole family. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:31 | |
-It's not only for the head -of the household... | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
-..but for his wife, -daughter and son too. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
-There are different ideas -and different ways... | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
-..to look at opportunities. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
-We also look at the importance -of how the provision is provided. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
-We'll retain one-to-one sessions -but we encourage group meetings. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
-We want farm families -to learn from each other... | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-..and find the answers together. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
-We face many challenges in terms -of our place in Europe. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
-We're always looking at new methods -and ways to pioneer. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:13 | |
-We want to use this change -as an opportunity. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
-Those who can adapt and make -the most of the opportunities... | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
-..will succeed in the future. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
-Angharad Gwyn -was one of the guest speakers. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
-She returned to Wales to establish -a business which has flourished. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
-We started selling -solely on the internet. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
-Then we had -a bricks and mortar shop. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
-Selling on the internet is ideal -for someone in a rural area. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:45 | |
-The location isn't important. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
-When I started the company -10 years ago... | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
-..it was during a period of -political and economic uncertainty. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:57 | |
-To be honest... | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
-..the idea was still robust. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
-Ten years later, -the business has grown. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-I hope it continues to grow. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
-Every business person -needs some creativity. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
-You can't sit back and wait -for things to stay the same... | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
-..and expect the business -to look after itself. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
-Think about new ways to do things -and move with the times. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
-If I can do it, anyone can. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
-Sean Taylor is co-founder -and co-owner of Zip World. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
-The company has benefitted -from the rural landscape... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
-..creating employment -and helping the local economy. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
-I saw an opportunity back in 2007 -for adventure tourism. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
-Mass market, iconic things to do -in extraordinary places. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:56 | |
-It's been a success. -We see change as an opportunity. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
-We diversify -and this is what we've done. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
-We're in a beautiful rural area -and people travel hundreds of miles. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
-It's got its challenges but it's got -massive opportunities as well. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:14 | |
-Following a successful conference, -how did the organisers feel it went? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
-Over the next few years, I'd like to -see us coming together more often... | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
-..as different companies -and institutions. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-We can look at what we can do -to prepare for the future. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:39 | |
-We can develop new ideas... | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
-..and implement them -rather than talk about them. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
-The future of farming, -and rural industries... | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
-..depend on benefitting from -the opportunities presented to us. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
-Having a positive attitude -to benefit from the opportunities... | 0:17:54 | 0:17:59 | |
-..is the target as we move on. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
-34 years ago, a young couple, -Teifi and Jenny Davies... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
-..started a new business which -provided a living for many years. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
-Llwynhelyg Farm Shop. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
-Now, with both in their 60s, -the shop door is about to close... | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
-..and decades of seven-day weeks -are coming to an end. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:27 | |
-Why have you decided to close the -doors and change your way of life? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
-There are many reasons, Meinir. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
-The main reason is that -we've inherited the farmhouse... | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
-..next to Llwynhelyg, -just across the road. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
-We've been renovating it -for three years. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
-Hopefully, we can move -into the farm early next year. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
-We thought about it. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
-We don't want to move the shop -as it is over to the farm. | 0:18:54 | 0:19:00 | |
-We wondered how we'd keep the doors -open if no-one bought it. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:05 | |
-We decided to return to our roots. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
-We'll sell directly -from our doorstep... | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
-..and on the internet and new media. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
-What it means -is lightening the workload. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
-Precisely. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
-It'll hopefully mean -we have more spare time. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
-We'll slow down gradually. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:29 | |
-Neither of us have had more than a -week's holiday since our honeymoon. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
-I think it's time for us to think -about a different way of life. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
-Jenny, -it's been 34 years of hard work. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
-You must have enjoyed as well. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
-We've really enjoyed -what we've been doing. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
-We were in at the beginning -of the Welsh food movement. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
-We've enjoyed our food journey. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
-It's great to see how -Welsh food and drink has developed. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
-People do use it -as a food destination. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-Over the years, Teifi and Jenny -have won numerous awards... | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
-..for their work and the shop but -what was the original inspiration? | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
-Take us back to the very beginning. -How did it all start here? | 0:20:15 | 0:20:20 | |
-We go all the way back -to the farm where we are now... | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
-..back in the middle of the 1980s. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
-My father decided to retire and I -decided to return home to the farm. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:32 | |
-That's when the milk quotas -came out. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
-I took my father's quota -and we heard... | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
-..that we only had -seven and a half cows in our quota. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
-We wondered what we could do. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-We realised that my father had -sold potatoes and some vegetables... | 0:20:43 | 0:20:50 | |
-..from the farm for many years. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
-It was a natural step. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
-It was a natural step for every -farmer in those days, locally. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
-We took that idea on -and developed it. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
-What are the most important elements -in your business? | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
-What's allowed you -to be successful? | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
-I like talking to people. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
-Being ready to talk to people, -meeting people... | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
-..being knowledgeable -about the food... | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
-..and telling them the story -behind the food. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 | |
-Where the food's come from, -how it was produced... | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
-..and the quality of the food. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:29 | |
-How have you coped with the balance -between farming and the shop? | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
-Well, we've developed it -over the years. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
-Agriculture was the priority -at the start. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:44 | |
-As the shop developed, both became -as important as the other. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
-We have to find a balance. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
-You decide on the morning what -needs to be done during the day. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:57 | |
-You get up at 5.00am -to cut 20 acres of silage... | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
-..return to the shop -for two to three hours... | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-..and then go back out -to bale silage. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
-Life has come full circle. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
-They're returning to work -as they started their career. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
-They're moving to the farm -across the road. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
-What are your plans? I hear -you're looking into mentoring. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
-Yes, we've had some training -with Menter a Busnes. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:31 | |
-We've had mentoring training. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
-We're ready to go out -and help the younger generation... | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
-..if they want to follow that path. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
-If they want to diversify, we'll try -and advise them about how to do it. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
-Will it be difficult to close -the doors for the final time? | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
-In a way, yes. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
-We're looking forward to the future -and the new enterprise. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:58 | |
-We're looking at it -like a new enterprise. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
-It's a step forward in our lives. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
-The next step is closing the shop... | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
-..and doing things -a little differently. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:12 | |
-An era has come to an end here. -Good luck to both in the future. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:19 | |
-That's it from Ffermio -for another week. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
-There's no Ffermio next week -because of the Winter Fair. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
-We're back at the same time -the following week. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
-Good luck to everyone heading -to Llanelwedd, to compete or enjoy. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
-We hope to see you there. Cheerio. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
