-Welcome to Ffermio -and a warm welcome to Llandudno... | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
-..the queen of Welsh resorts. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
-I'm not here for a paddle. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
-I've come to meet the farmer... | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
-..who has been chosen to manage -this land for a rent of 1... | 0:00:30 | 0:00:35 | |
-..that's right, 1 per year. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
-Alun also meets Sarah Vaughan -Williams from Brithdir... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:44 | |
-..who is about to start work -as a land agent... | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
-..and Meinir -meets a family that has ventured... | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
-..into the organic dairy industry. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
-After an international campaign -by the National Trust... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
-..to find tenants for Parc Farm -on the Great Orme at Llandudno... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:05 | |
-..the successful farmer -and his family have just moved in. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
-From where do they hail? | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
-They've travelled -all the way from Anglesey. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
-2,500 people -from all over of the world... | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
-..expressed an interest -in this farm. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
-Dan and Ceri Jones and their son -Efan were the successful family. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
-They've given up farming -in Llangristiolus... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
-..to come to this -150-acre farm in Llandudno. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:37 | |
-Their rent is just 1 per year. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
-My phone rang non-stop -early one morning. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
-People were tagging me -on social media. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
-They wanted to tell me -that a farm was coming up... | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
-..that would be perfect for me. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
-I looked into it -and I showed it to Ceri. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
-We came over to see the place -and put in an application. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-Finally, we've ended up here. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
-You've left Anglesey -to come and live in Llandudno. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-It wasn't easy to leave Anglesey. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-We believe we've done -the right thing for ourselves. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-For me, it means a greater chance... | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
-..to work with sheep -and sheepdogs every day. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
-I'll still be running my own farm. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
-There are also more opportunities -for Ceri and Efan, our son... | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
-..growing up in Llandudno. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
-And the rent is different. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
-It's a bit less -than what we were paying before. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
-The rent is 1 per year, -but alongside that... | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
-..there are many things -the National Trust expects me to do. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
-I have to farm -the way they want me to farm. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
-I can't farm -the same way I did on Anglesey. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-I have to manage the flock -in a different way. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
-A lot of work -comes with the low rent. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-It's wonderful, living on the -mountain and looking at the sea. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
-It's so peaceful. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
-It's fantastic. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
-Once everything has settled... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
-..I can work with the dogs -and sheep every day... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-..and start looking forward -to living here. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
-For decades, the number of sheep -grazing on the Great Orme... | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
-..has been falling sharply... | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-..but Dan will change things -to benefit the land. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
-We'll have two flocks here. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
-One will be on the farm. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
-The other flock will be -outside the farm walls. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
-They'll be native sheep. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
-Within the farm walls, -you have almost 150 acres... | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
-..with just one flock there. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
-They'll be commercial sheep, -producing fattened lambs. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
-Is the rest common land? | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-I believe it's common land. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-That's where much of the grazing -and shepherding will happen. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
-These are the sheep -that will live there. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
-You've chosen Lleyn sheep. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
-It's a local Welsh breed, of course. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
-These sheep have been bred -on the Lleyn Peninsula. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
-They're at home in this terrain. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
-They're at home in this terrain. - -They're used to the wind. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-That's why they've been chosen. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
-How much grazing land is there -outside the farm? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-Over 700 acres, -so there's plenty of room to graze. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
-All on the Great Orme? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
-Yes, from Llandudno all the way up. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
-How are you going to manage them? | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
-Hopefully, -we will tend them every day... | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
-..and target various areas... | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
-..to put them to graze where the -grass is growing out of control. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
-Who has bought the 400 sheep? | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
-They've been bought -by the charity Plantlife. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
-They wanted to help in some way, -so they bought the sheep. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:59 | |
-They had an input -into where the sheep will graze... | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
-..in order to protect rare plants. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
-At the moment, -the grass is out of control... | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-..and it's smothering them. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
-We'll manage the flock and see how -much they graze in different spots. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
-Will you keep the profit -from the lambs? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
-That's the idea. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
-We farm the sheep, -Plantlife owns them... | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-..and they lease them to me. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
-In a way, everybody profits. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-You manage the land -but also get an income. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-That's the aim. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
-The National Trust owns this farm. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
-Along with Plantlife... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:40 | |
-..an organization that helps -safeguard and sustain rare plants... | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-..they are keen for Parc Farm -to develop into a working farm... | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
-..and a haven for wildlife. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
-The reason we've let the land -to Dan and his wife... | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-..is that this farm is unique. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
-There is wildlife here that doesn't -exist anywhere else in the world. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
-We needed people -with the skills to look after it. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
-Dan and Ceri are ideal. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:08 | |
-Dan has experience -of working on Snowdon. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-He'll know what to do. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:12 | |
-What is the biggest challenge -of farming here? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-The grazing rights -cover 700 acres of the Great Orme. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:22 | |
-There are no fences, and many people -come here for a walk. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
-600,000 people -come up the Great Orme every year. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-The challenge is managing a flock -among those people on open terrain. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
-How do you hope to develop the farm -and the surrounding land? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
-Do you hope they will develop -not only farming but also tourism? | 0:06:40 | 0:06:46 | |
-That's part of the job... | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
-..but our primary objective -is to look after the wildlife here. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
-Offering the tenancy for 1 -gives Dan scope to work... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
-..and find alternative ways -to make it a success. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
-We'd like to make the best -of the visitors... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
-..and teach them about farming -and where food comes from. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-There is obviously plenty -of important work to be done here. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-Bearing in mind -that the Great Orme... | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
-..attracts 600,000 visitors -every year... | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-..what are the hopes -for the next decade? | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-We all know -where we want to go... | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-..but we'll have to see -how far we get. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
-We want to show visitors, -especially those from urban areas... | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-..where lamb comes from. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
-Hopefully, in the future, -we can sell our produce to them. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
-We want to develop shepherd's huts -where people can stay. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-We have lots of ideas. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-Are you looking forward to it? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-I've been looking forward to it. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
-Now, I just want to get the sheep -on the Great Orme... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
-..and try to make a difference. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
-I want to meet as many people -as I can and enjoy being here. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-For many graduates... | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
-..finding the perfect job -can be a bit of a challenge. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
-Alun has been to meet someone -who has been very lucky. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
-Sarah Vaughan Williams... | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-..is a 23-year-old farmer's daughter -from Brithdir near Dolgellau. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
-After spending four years -at Harper Adams University... | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-..studying land management -and rural enterprise... | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-..she's now a trainee land agent -for Jones Peckover. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
-I wanted a job -connected with agriculture. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
-I looked through -the Harper Adams prospectus. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
-I saw the course -and decided to apply for it. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
-How long is the course at Harpers? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
-How long is the course at Harpers? - -Four years. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:53 | |
-You also do -a year's work experience. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-What happened there? | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
-I was lucky enough -to get a job with Jones Peckover. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
-I worked with them for a year -across North Wales. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
-What was the year like? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-What was the year like? - -It was hectic. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-They put me to work straight away. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-It was interesting work. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:14 | |
-I wanted to work for them -because they cover a wide area. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
-They have four offices... | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
-..and operate -from the Lleyn Peninsula... | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-..right up to the border -with Cheshire and Shropshire. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
-Sarah's work includes valuing, -selling and letting land... | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
-..dealing with tenants -and landowners... | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-..and dealing -with the Basic Payment Scheme. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
-Today, we're on land -in Llanfaethlu on Anglesey. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
-What are you working on here? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-The road to Wylfa -will be crossing this farmland. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
-After an archaeological survey -has been completed... | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
-..I'm here to collect information -for a claim against Horizon... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
-..in respect of damage -done to the land. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
-We'll do the heads of claim -within the claim... | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-..for loss of grazing and loss -of future yields and profits... | 0:10:10 | 0:10:15 | |
-..and also disturbance - -how it has affected our clients. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
-How does someone get compensation, -and how much should they get? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:26 | |
-They say they should be -no better and no worse off... | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
-..than in a no-scheme world. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
-They try to mitigate the effect -it has on the landowner. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:38 | |
-In some places, -they will build tunnels or bridges. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
-If that isn't possible, -they have to meet a monetary value. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-Looking at the wider situation -regarding land values... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-..there's a lot of uncertainty -in the agricultural sector... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
-..following the vote -to leave Europe. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
-Is that having an effect -on land values? | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-It hasn't so far, to be honest. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
-Perhaps it's too early to tell. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:05 | |
-Perhaps it's too early to tell. - -Fair enough. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
-Another factor is the change -from the Single Payment Scheme... | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
-..to the Basic Payment Scheme. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
-We'll have to wait and see -with that. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
-Some farmers -will be better off by 2019... | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
-..so many people remain confident. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
-Also, people outside agriculture -buy land for its investment value. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:32 | |
-Recently, I was at an auction -selling land in Denbigh. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
-The land made up to 11,000 an acre. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
-The land made up to 11,000 an acre. - -Wow. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:42 | |
-Sarah's home is Caerynwch Farm. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
-She lives here with parents Richard -and Gwenan and brother Evan. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
-They keep over 800 sheep -and 50 cattle. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
-Whenever she gets the chance, -she's at home helping out. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
-It must be great to be home -after a hard day's work. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:11 | |
-Tell us a bit about Caerynwch. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
-It's a famous name. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:14 | |
-For those who aren't familiar -with it, what makes it special? | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
-We keep Welsh Mountain sheep -and pedigree Welsh Black cattle. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
-We think it's important -to keep these native breeds. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
-They suit the farm and the land. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
-I mainly link -the name Caerynwch with cattle. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
-Welsh Blacks, as you said. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
-Which do you prefer, -cattle or sheep? | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-It's hard to say. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:40 | |
-I have a lot of interest -in the sheep... | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
-..and it's more exciting -at the sales... | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
-..but nothing beats -a Welsh Black cow. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
-I must admit -I love Welsh Black cattle. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
-How long will you keep these calves -before selling them? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
-We'll sell them at the pedigree sale -in Dolgellau in January. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
-It's unusual to sell them so young. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
-It's unusual to sell them so young. - -We sell them at 6-7 months old. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
-That way, they don't cost much. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
-We sell them -straight off the mother. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
-There are no feed costs, just hay. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
-That's hassle-free. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
-It's living off -what the farm provides. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
-Well, well, well. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:32 | |
-It's been a very entertaining tour. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:44 | |
-I've got a very clear picture -of your life. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-You get up in this little heaven. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-Then you go off -to a job that you enjoy... | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
-..where you try your best -to solve other people's problems... | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
-..and come back here -when you're done. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
-It's a great life -for a 23-year-old. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
-And now the biggest question of all. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
-If a perfect little farm -became available somewhere... | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
-..would you buy it? | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
-That's what I'd like. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |

-Welcome back. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
-Six years ago, Ffermio visited -the Downes family in Ceredigion. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:55 | |
-They were beef and sheep farmers. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
-But they'd also opened a restaurant -on the land called Sgubor Teile. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:04 | |
-They are now diversifying again. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
-Meinir has the story. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
-Over the last few months -on Cilcert Uchaf Farm, Llangeitho... | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
-..there have been big changes. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
-Sheep, beef and the restaurant -remain vital parts of the business. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:23 | |
-But Richard, the youngest son, -has emulated his ancestors... | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
-..by taking up dairy farming. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
-I was dragged into it. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:32 | |
-I had no choice! | 0:15:33 | 0:15:34 | |
-I spent a month at Harper Adams... | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
-..but I wasn't enjoying it there. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
-I came home and we decided more -diversification was called for... | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
-..to generate a wage for me at home. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
-Is it a good time to be buying -equipment for dairy farming? | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
-Yes, it is. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
-We were lucky enough to pick up -a milking parlour locally. | 0:15:55 | 0:16:01 | |
-We had to do some work on it. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
-It's much improved -on what it was when it arrived. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
-We've changed -a lot of things on it. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
-But we've been fairly lucky -as regards our investment. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:18 | |
-We could have been forced -to spend a lot more. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-You were lucky enough -to have the pick of contracts too. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-Yes, we've got three contracts. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-People really want organic milk -right now. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
-How do you get on -with Rachel's Organic? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
-Very well. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:38 | |
-It's a very simple contract. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-I think they have -twelve direct producers like us... | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
-..from St David's up to here. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
-That works really well. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
-Producing organic milk -gets you a bonus. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
-Yes, we get a bonus. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-Organic milk is currently -at 39 pence a litre... | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
-..whereas conventional milk -is at 25 pence a litre. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:05 | |
-Even that -seems to be going up slowly. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-What is your system? | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
-We try to get the cows -to calve in the autumn. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
-They'll be turned to the bull -within the next two weeks. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
-It's an easier system -because it all comes together. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-They go to the bull -at the same time... | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-..they calve at the same time... | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
-..and we wean the calves -before lambing time. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-It'll be a challenge this year, -milking and lambing as well. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:41 | |
-It'll be a lot of work -for my parents! | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
-I'm just the milking boy. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-The family has only been milking -since October. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
-After an initial period, they have -readjusted to the new pattern. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:59 | |
-How hard was adapting the farm -to dairy from beef rearing? | 0:18:00 | 0:18:05 | |
-It took a period -of around five months of adjusting. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:13 | |
-It was a lot of work every day. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
-We added this part of the shed -during the summer. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
-We installed a slurry channel -direct to the slurry pit. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
-We then had to install -the feed passage and the cubicles. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
-All the cubicles are second-hand -but they took an age to install... | 0:18:31 | 0:18:37 | |
-..and, finally, the parlour up top. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
-Was already being an organic farm -an important consideration? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:45 | |
-Yes. If we weren't already organic, -we'd never have considered it. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:51 | |
-We looked at a couple -of other diversification options. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
-Because we were organic, -this was the best option for us. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:03 | |
-Have you had any regrets? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
-Not yet! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:08 | |
-We all enjoy our own roles here. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-We all enjoy our own roles here. - -Who does what? | 0:19:14 | 0:19:15 | |
-Mam deals with the calves -morning and night while I milk. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
-Dad does the feeding -and the scraping of the cubicles. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-There's enough time to go at it. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
-We all take the same amount of time -to do our own jobs. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
-We're quite lucky -to have Daniel, Sara and Sian. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
-If one of us wants to go somewhere, -there's someone here to help. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:41 | |
-It's clear this family -aren't afraid to try things. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
-Their hard work down the years... | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
-..has allowed them to move -in a new direction as required. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
-Is now the time to go into milking? | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
-Is now the time to go into milking? - -Yes, I think so. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:58 | |
-When we looked into it -a year ago... | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
-..there was no mention -of Brexit or Trump. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
-It's totally different now. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
-But beef and lamb -weren't looking special last year. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
-There isn't much security there. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
-Of course, there's no quota now. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
-You don't have to buy a quota. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
-You can go straight into dairy -at a lower cost. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
-Cattle prices have fallen too... | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
-..because they've been so hard -on the conventionals. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
-There are a lot of cattle around. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
-It's getting better day by day. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
-We've got 70 cattle now. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:36 | |
-We can see the cattle -are producing more milk every day. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
-That's very good. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
-Do you enjoy it? | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
-Yes, when the cattle behave. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
-You've only just started. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
-You've only just started. - -Yes. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:50 | |
