-Hello and welcome to Ffermio. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
-The bank holiday is upon us -and it's busy in the countryside... | 0:00:21 | 0:00:27 | |
-..as people prepare to welcome -thousands of visitors to the area. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:33 | |
-Near Dolgellau, there is much -discussion, uncertainty even... | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
-..to do with the name -of one of our main attractions. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
-More on that later. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
-Also on the programme, Meinir visits -Illtud Dunsford and his Welsh pigs. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
-A few days before the voting... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
-..we have a summary of the parties' -manifestos in the Assembly election. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
-First, with the price of milk -still so low... | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
-..Daloni went to Flintshire -to look for a glimmer of hope... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
-..from an organic dairy farmer. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
-Argoed Farm in the village -of New Brighton, Mold... | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
-..is home to Stuart Taylor -and his family. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
-He was raised here. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
-For the last 16 years, they've -farmed the 150 acres organically. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
-I came home to farm with my father -around 30 years ago. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
-We became organic... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
-..after the quotas were introduced -in '84. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
-By 2000, we were organic. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
-So it was a gradual process. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
-Yes. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
-Yes. - -What did you do? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
-We stopped using nitrogen. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-What scared us -was not using fertilizer. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:13 | |
-But it's been fine. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-How does the system work here? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
-It works very well. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
-As we're a dairy farm... | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
-..we have plenty of slurry -for the grass. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
-We keep on top of the weeds. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-It's a good system for us. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-They milk 70 British Friesian cows. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
-At the moment, -the price of organic milk is stable. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
-Compared to conventional milk... | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
-..the organic market is strong. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
-Yes, it is. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
-But it has been -as low as the conventional. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-How much do you receive per litre? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-At the moment, 32p a litre. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
-Has it come down? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-A little, because of spring, -as there's more milk about. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
-In winter, it was 36p. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
-Everyone should receive over 30p. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
-That's what enables the farmer -to earn a living... | 0:03:23 | 0:03:29 | |
-..and look after the land. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-I wouldn't be able to survive -if I farmed conventionally. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:38 | |
-We're too small. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
-But since we're organic, -it's extra income for us. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:44 | |
-As well as farming organically... | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
-..Stuart has also created -wildlife habitats... | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-..without any financial support. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
-He's also installed renewables -on the farm... | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
-..to reduce electricity costs. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
-The grass is thick, Stuart! | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-It's worth seeing. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-It's unexpected at this time of year -with all the wet weather. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
-It's been wet but mild too. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-We've had very little frost -this winter. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
-There are lots of dandelions. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-Is that good? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:34 | |
-It's full of minerals for the cattle -and provides food for the bees. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
-What will you do with this? | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
-Silage and then pasture. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
-One crop a year? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
-No, two or three. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
-From this one field? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
-From this one field? - -Yes. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
-All this has had -is your own fertilizer. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
-Yes, slurry. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
-It's almost making my mouth water! | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-No wonder the cattle -are looking so good. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
-Thank you. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:06 | |
-You use renewable energy here. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
-Yes, we have PVs -to generate electricity... | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-..and solar panels -to generate hot water. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:19 | |
-That helps with the milking. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
-That helps with the milking. - -It does. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
-It keeps the bills down. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-Yes. They're around 30% less -after installing the PVs. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-You obviously do -a lot of conservation work here. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-Yes. I enjoy -planting hedgerows and trees. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
-When did you plant this one? | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
-Two years ago. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
-There are 250 metres here. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
-I spent two weeks -planting a little every afternoon... | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
-..just before Christmas. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
-Hawthorns. They like the position. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-They do. They've done very well. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-Are you part of a scheme where -you have to do this sort of work? | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
-No, I do it because I enjoy it. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
-It's obvious that Stuart is -passionate about the way he farms. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:13 | |
-You get the feeling... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
-..that although he has to take care -of the financial side of things... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
-..he farms from the heart. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-I prefer being organic. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
-I'd never go back. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-For me, it's more interesting... | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
-..and it makes it easier... | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-..to look after wildlife -and the landscape. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
-Is it Cader or Cadair Idris? | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-This has been discussed -in the press this week. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
-Which one is correct? | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
-I hope to find out the answer... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
-..as well as how to balance -conservation and tourism... | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
-..on one of Meirionnydd's -most popular mountains. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
-Paul Williams has been a senior -site manager for 16 years... | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
-..first with -the Countryside Council for Wales... | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
-..then Natural Resources Wales. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
-As part of his work, he's been -coordinating restoration plans... | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
-..to improve the environment -and attract more visitors. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-Place names are complicated, -no matter where you are. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:41 | |
-I think Cader and Cadair -are both correct. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-As a national body, we can only take -the best advice available. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:50 | |
-According to many sources... | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
-..Cadair -would be the standard orthography. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
-That doesn't stop anyone -from pronouncing it as Cader... | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
-..or writing it as Cader. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
-As I'm from northern Meirionnydd, -I say Cadar. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
-We've chosen the standard form... | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-..Cadair Idris. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
-That's how it has been with us -for decades. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
-We haven't changed the spelling. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-It's one -of the most popular mountains... | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-..in the south of the Park -certainly. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-Yes, definitely. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
-It's what's known as a honeypot. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
-People like coming here -to go for the summit. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
-A large part of the mountain... | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
-..has been a nature reserve -since the '50s. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
-Fifty thousand people -walk this path every year. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
-I know not all of them are here -to see the nature reserve. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-They're here because Cadair Idris -is an iconic mountain. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
-A lot of them go for the summit. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
-Some go to Llyn Cau, -which is beautiful. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
-My work in this centre, to a degree, -is to entice them. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
-They're a captive audience. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-If some of them can go -from the centre to the mountain... | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
-..having learned a little -about why the mountain is special... | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
-..it's great. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:28 | |
-Is the land used -for any agricultural purpose? | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-Yes. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:34 | |
-The valley or most of this side -of the mountain... | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
-..is grazed by a neighbour. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
-His family grazed it before him. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
-The cooperation -between us and the grazer is vital. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
-As a foundation -to the nature reserve... | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-..an interpretation centre -has been built. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
-One of the main attractions -is a CCTV camera... | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-..to watch the bats in the roof. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
-It isn't a big population -but it's increasing and developing. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-The lesser horseshoe bat -is rare in Britain... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
-..but north-west Wales -is a stronghold. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
-They're starting to come back now. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
-They hibernate in other places -like cowsheds and local quarries. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:30 | |
-They return in the spring. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
-The females -come here to rear their young. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
-For many of us, they're creatures -that fly above us at night. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
-We don't know much about them. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
-We don't know much about them. - -That's what's good about here. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
-We can show that we can live -with them in the building. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-No-one lives here -but we use it from day to day. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
-There's a cafe here too. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:54 | |
-There's no need -to be scared of them. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
-We can live alongside them. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:58 | |
-We can live alongside them. - -That's a great message. | 0:10:58 | 0:10:59 | |
-People forget that maintaining paths -requires constant work. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:16 | |
-It does. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
-There are miles of paths -on the mountain. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
-Unfortunately, it's expensive, -so we can't do it all overnight. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
-It's slow work. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
-Many of them are farmers' sons, -I take it. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
-Yes. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:34 | |
-Some of them -have worked on the paths... | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-..for the National Park... | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
-..and the Upland Paths -Partnership... | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-..which is now defunct. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
-It creates reliable jobs -in rural areas... | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
-..just that it requires funding. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:54 | |
-..just that it requires funding. - -Yes. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:55 | |
-The National Park Authority... | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-..has been successful last year -and this year in attracting funding. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:03 | |
-We contribute towards it too. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
-However, -I have to strike a balance... | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
-..between spending -on access or leisure projects... | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
-..and spending -on conservation projects. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
-More of my money goes on -maintaining boundaries and so on. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:22 | |
-That also creates jobs for -farmers' sons and local contractors. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:28 | |
-Let's go a little higher -while our legs are still OK. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
-We'll go slowly! | 0:12:32 | 0:12:33 | |
-We'll go slowly! - -Yes, slowly does it! | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
-I'm 57, remember! | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |

-How do you think a pig like this... | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
-..is turned into tasty sausages -like this? | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
-That's what I want to find out today -on Felin y Glyn Farm near Pontyates. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:05 | |
-Illtud Dunsford hails from Cardiff -but spent much of his childhood... | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
-..here on the family farm -looking after the animals. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
-After working -in the film industry... | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
-..he decided -to become a food producer. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
-My grandfather and uncle -reared pigs in the 1980s. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
-We carried on the tradition, -rearing pigs for ourselves. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
-Initially, -I didn't think of it as a business. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
-It was just something we did. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
-Since we had so much meat... | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
-..at one time of the year -after slaughtering and curing... | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
-..I did some research. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
-I looked beyond making faggots, -black pudding, sausages and bacon... | 0:13:47 | 0:13:52 | |
-..and explored what was being -produced in Europe and America. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
-Gradually, we expanded the produce -we made for ourselves. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:02 | |
-When the business began... | 0:14:04 | 0:14:05 | |
-..we looked at it from -the viewpoint of meat science... | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
-..and greatly expanded our range. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-You've also remained faithful -to the Welsh pig. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-The Welsh pig -was the obvious breed for us. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
-We have kept other breeds... | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
-..but the Welsh pig has evolved -to thrive in the Welsh landscape. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
-It makes sense -to keep our native pig. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
-It's ideally suited to our produce. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
-How do you manage -to stay ahead in the game? | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
-As a business, we diversified. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-We added to the pig itself. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
-We wanted control -over the whole operation... | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
-..and where the product was sold. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
-That's still important to us. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
-We try to keep control -over our food chain. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
-The Charcutier company -makes 40 different products. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-The many awards -they have received... | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
-..is testimony -to the high standard of the food. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
-When we started the business... | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
-..we received advice from an -experienced producer in this field. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
-According to his model... | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
-..if you consider that the price -for a good-sized pig... | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
-..is 150-200 -to a butcher or at market... | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
-..that pig should produce sausages -with a value of 400-500. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
-If you add -various pork products to that... | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
-..the pig could produce 700-900. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-Once you start carrying out -specialized processing... | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
-..it's possible to -making 1,500 or more from that pig. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
-Obviously there are costs, -so it's not pure profit. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
-If you think of products -that are cured... | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-..that takes at least two weeks -and sometimes six months or more. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
-There's no cash flow... | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
-..and there's a lot of development -before you reach that point. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
-It's not simple, but there -are certainly possibilities. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |

-..just operating from these units. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
-There are many possibilities... | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |

-..but it's vital to remember -we're working toward something. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
-When we reach that point, -we'll know that we've succeeded. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
