-It's rained regularly -over the past few weeks. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
-How much of a problem -is this to farmers? | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
-There have been many reported cases -of pneumonia on farms. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
-Also with sheep, there's a distinct -possibility of them having fluke. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:23 | |
-Also on the programme, -the benefits of lambing indoors. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
-We can look after them better, -it's a better start to life. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:33 | |
-Gareth Wyn Jones -is part of an experiment... | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
-..which could be good news -for upland farmers. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
-We think this prevents part of the -nitrogen becoming oxide nitrous... | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
-..in the sheep's urine. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
-And plenty of good news -from the NFU's conference. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
-It's sunny and dry here today, -but colder weather is forecast. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
-Something we're very familiar -with in Wales is the rain. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
-The ground is very wet right now. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
-The weather influences -agriculture... | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
-..more than it influences -any other industry. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
-To everyone's surprise, this isn't -the wettest winter on record. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-Less rain has fallen this year than -in the winters of 2003 and 2015... | 0:01:23 | 0:01:29 | |
-..although very few days -have been rain-free this winter. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-Here, on Gelli Aur farm -at Coleg Sir Gar... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
-..the persistent rain -has left its mark. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
-We've found that it's been wet -for a long time. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
-It's been different -to other wet winters we've had. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
-It's rained almost every day -more or less since the Royal Welsh. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
-What effect has this had -on your business? | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
-It's been very difficult -to manage the land... | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
-..and managing the slurry -especially this winter. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-Finding a window to put slurry out -has been very difficult. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
-What about the cattle -and the animals in general? | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-The cattle came in -earlier than usual. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-It was too wet to graze out -during the autumn. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
-We had to bring them in. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-That means the feedstock -has gone earlier than usual. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
-Having said that... | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
-..we're lucky we had -enough feedstock this year. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-That has knock-on effects elsewhere. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
-Spring is later than usual. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
-Usually, at this time of year, we'd -have turned the cattle out to graze. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
-As you can see behind me, -it's so wet at the moment... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
-..we can't turn -any of the animals out. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
-Thinking about your business, -you have added costs. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-Of course. Grass is the backbone -of this business. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
-That's the cheapest food -we can provide for the cattle. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-When they're in, -they eat food which costs more. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-It'll have an effect on costs. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
-With so much recent rain, how much -of an effect has it had on animals? | 0:03:14 | 0:03:20 | |
-How can we protect them? | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-Farmer and consultant -Dr Delana Davies... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
-..specialises in animal nutrition. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
-Before Christmas, -we had a lot of weather... | 0:03:30 | 0:03:36 | |
-..where a damp mist hung around -the sheds for a long time. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
-There have been many reported cases -of pneumonia on farms. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
-In addition to that, in cases where -everything has been done properly... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
-..vaccinations before -bringing the animals in... | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
-..the animals have still -gone down with pneumonia. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
-That will affect their growth. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-The animals will be lighter -when they go back out. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
-Also, with sheep as well as beef... | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
-..such a wet autumn -has caused more cases of fluke. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:17 | |
-There's a greater chance that the -animals have suffered from fluke. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-That can be seen in abattoirs -right now. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
-We've seen when sheep -are brought into the sheds... | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
-..they lie down for hours, -they're glad to find a dry place. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
-It's important for new-born animals -to have a dry bed. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:41 | |
-A wet bed draws heat -out of the animal. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:49 | |
-It also offers a place -for bugs to thrive. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
-It can cause more joint ill -in sheep... | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
-..and it causes calf scour. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
-It's important for young animals -to have plenty of hay in their beds. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:06 | |
-Hay can be expensive but it can -save you money on vet's bills. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
-Precisely. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:12 | |
-Once you start dealing in situations -where illnesses are detected... | 0:05:13 | 0:05:19 | |
-..it spreads in a shed like this -very quickly. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
-If you can prevent it happening -in the first place, it's better. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
-At the end of the day, -if you do that work properly... | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
-..and make sure you give priority -to your animals, they will thrive. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:39 | |
-If an animal thrives, -it has less medical problems. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-We can see on the horizon -that the grass is starting to grow. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
-Another month or two and -we'll be over the winter hopefully. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
-It's worth investing now -to make sure that the animals... | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
-..are in their best condition -to go out. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
-They can then make better use -of the grass out there. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-Rain or snow, day or night, -one thing is certain... | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
-..sheep will give birth to lambs. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
-It's busy in this shed -in Llanfair Talhaearn near Abergele. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
-There are many lambing systems... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
-..but here, at Bron Heulog farm... | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
-..brothers David and Huw Lloyd -lamb 1,500 sheep indoors. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
-The sheep have been in -for about three weeks. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
-Before that, they were out on swedes -for three weeks to a month. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
-That works well. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
-It's a good way to keep up the -numbers and they do well on swede. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
-The rest of the farm -is given a rest. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
-The grass grows ready for spring. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
-You lamb in two lots. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
-800 in now, and the rest later. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
-As the numbers fall in the shed, -we'll gather more in... | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-..and keep the shed full. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-Everything will come through -the shed. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-Why do you bring them in? | 0:07:13 | 0:07:14 | |
-Why do you bring them in? - -We can look after them better. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-We can see what's happening and the -weather's not been great recently. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:22 | |
-We can manage them from day to day -and they have a better start. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
-The lamb can go out with the sheep. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
-We don't know what weather -lies ahead for us. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
-They're not in for a long time. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
-They're not in for a long time. - -Just three weeks. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-There's a lot of work to do, Huw. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-There's a lot of work to do, Huw. - -Yes, quite a lot. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:56 | |
-What are we feeding them? | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
-Wholecrop and some concentrate. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-Will you continue with this system -or will you make changes? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
-Who knows? It all depends -which way the market will go. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
-As it stands now, -the lambs are holding their ground. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
-What weight do you want -before you let them go? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
-Most of them go at about 20 kilos. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-Do you find it difficult not being -able to plan for the future? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
-It is difficult, yes. -You're caught in a trap. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-You don't know where it will end. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
-In the meantime, carry on feeding. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-Right now, yes. -We'll see how it goes. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
-David's son, Dewi, -also works on the farm. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
-You've just celebrated -your 21st birthday, Dewi. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
-You're David's son. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
-Do you agree with the way your -father and uncle lamb the sheep? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-Yes, it works well. -It works well for the farm. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
-Everything's going well. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
-Do you like the way -they do everything indoors? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-It's better when the weather's wet. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-You can monitor things and sort out -any losses before they go out. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
-Keeping an eye on everything -is Bob Lloyd... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
-..the brothers' father. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-How have things changed -since you've been here? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
-It's changed a lot. -They weren't in when we started. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
-We've changed to this system -since then. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
-Easier for the lads? | 0:09:28 | 0:09:29 | |
-Easier for the lads? - -Yes. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:30 | |
-Is she OK? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:42 | |
-Is she OK? - -She's coming along. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
-Tight? | 0:09:44 | 0:09:45 | |
-A good lamb. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-It's alive, anyway. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-Leave them alone now? | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
-You need eyes everywhere -in this shed. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
-Then we mix them up. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
-Then we mix them up. - -I can see one over there. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
-That's life for a while. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
-And thank goodness for that. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
-I'll go and check these. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
-That's it for this part. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
-After the break, we'll catch up -with farmer Gareth Wyn Jones... | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
-..who's had a busy -and different time recently. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-See you soon. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |

-Welcome back. -It's a very cold, wet morning. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
-There's snow on the Carneddau. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
-The cattle are indoors -and January is over. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
-It's been a very busy month... | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
-..but I've been able to leave -the farm to do different things. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:21 | |
-Earlier in the year... | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-..I was invited -to the Oxford Conference. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
-George Monbiot claimed that no meat -would be eaten in Britain by 2100. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 | |
-It was a chance for me to debate -against his claim. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-I'll be out of a job -if people don't eat meat. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
-I was a little wary -of going down to Oxford. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
-I'd never have imagined a lad -from the mountains... | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
-..being invited down -to such a posh place. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-I was debating in front -of some very influential people. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
-Rich people who are very well-known -in the farming industry. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
-They asked me to debate against one -of the best orators in this country. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:15 | |
-He was debating for -environmentalists and vegans. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
-We can feed everyone in this country -on 3m of our 18m hectares. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:26 | |
-The majority of farmers -that I know, and landowners... | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
-..they want to leave that land -in a better state... | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
-..for the next generation. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
-George and I will never agree -on a lot of things... | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
-..but that night, we agreed that -we need to respect one another... | 0:12:40 | 0:12:47 | |
-..about what we believe -is the best way forward. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
-If you can respect someone, -you don't have to agree with them. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
-If you respect them -and show respect... | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-..that's important to me and him. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
-As a farmer that lives -on the hills of North Wales... | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
-..and has been farming that land -for 350 years... | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
-..well, my family has, not me... | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
-I'm glad I did it. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:12 | |
-I'm glad I put across my case -for our industry... | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
-..in a positive -and respectful manner. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
-The response has been excellent. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
-I feel glad -that I was given the opportunity. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
-I'm a member of Cymdeithas Porwyr -Aber a Llanfairfechan. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
-We work closely -with Bangor University... | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-..who use the mountain for grazing. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-They've been doing experiments -with greenhouse gases. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
-We hope we'll have some good news -about what's been happening. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:51 | |
-The research aims to look at -grazing systems on the mountains... | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
-..to see if they can be made better -for the environment. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
-What inspired you -to do something like this? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
-I was brought up in Bethesda. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-I studied my PhD in Bangor -with Professor Dave Chadwick. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:18 | |
-He's studied greenhouse -gas emissions from grazing systems. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
-When I was doing my PhD, I studied -grazing systems in Holland. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:30 | |
-There is very little information -about nitrous oxide emissions... | 0:14:31 | 0:14:37 | |
-..on mountainous land. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-This soil has come from Carneddau. -What are you doing with it? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
-At the moment, we're measuring -the pH level of the soil. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:50 | |
-We can see that the pH levels -are lower for the higher land. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
-We think this prevents part of the -nitrogen becoming oxide nitrous... | 0:14:56 | 0:15:02 | |
-..in the sheep's urine. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-That's good news for farmers, -I think. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
-We have to remember that we're -only looking at one greenhouse gas. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:15 | |
-There are other greenhouse gases -such as methane and carbon dioxide. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
-For the nitrous oxide, -it sounds good for farmers. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
-After visiting the laboratory... | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
-..I head up to the testing plot -on the mountain. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-Well, we don't usually see sheep -up on this mountain. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-Not in winter. We've brought them up -to see where they usually graze. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:51 | |
-We collected urine here -in the summer and autumn. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
-We collected it when they grazed -the vegetation here. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
-When we get the urine in bottles... | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
-..it goes back into the soil -in these experiment positions. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
-These are the chambers -that open and close. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
-We can test the greenhouse gases -being emitted from the soil... | 0:16:14 | 0:16:20 | |
-..from the areas -where we put the urine. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
-There are no sheep up here -during the winter... | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
-..but greenhouse gas emissions... | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-..can still be detected -from the urine positions. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
-We test the soil for a long time. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
-The project's head, -and greenhouse gas expert... | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
-..is Professor Dave Chadwick. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
-A huge amount of research -has taken place... | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
-..by the UK greenhouse gas -research community. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-We're having to extrapolate -the information... | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
-..that we're getting -from those lowland situations... | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
-..to livestock that are produced -up here in the uplands. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
-The soils here are quite wet -and cold for a long period of time. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
-The animals are actually grazing -on very different vegetation. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:12 | |
-The composition of their urine -is going to be different... | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
-..to the urine -deposited on the lowlands. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
-There's reasons to believe -that the emissions could be lower. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
-What we're doing up here -is trying to prove that. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
-In a way, this is a huge experiment -for us as an industry... | 0:17:28 | 0:17:33 | |
-..and for upland farmers. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
-If the results -are good and positive... | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
-..this could be a good story for us -to sell lamb from the mountains. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:47 | |
-Yes, and that's the way -it seems right now. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
-Oh, I hope this is true. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:54 | |
-There's a smile on your face -and it looks promising. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
-If the results are as good -as you believe them to be... | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
-..it's great for the industry... | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
-..and great for the environment too. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-Interesting things happening -on the Carneddau. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
-This experiment will show where the -industry is going on upland farms. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:21 | |
-The next thing for me is lambing. -Make sure you call in. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
