-Hello and a warm welcome to Ffermio. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
-We're in the lovely area -of Rhandirmwyn near Llandovery. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
-Later on the programme... | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
-..I meet a young farmer -who divides his time... | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
-..between working in these fields -and his career on the rugby pitch. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
-Coming up, Daloni will be visiting -a brand-new egg venture... | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
-..and we'll have the second question -in our competition. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
-We begin this week's programme -at the Senedd in Cardiff... | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
-..and the latest developments -regarding TB. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
-Since the postponement -of the badger vaccination scheme... | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
-..people have been keen to hear the -Welsh Government's next strategy... | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
-..to control and eradicate TB -in cattle here in Wales. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
-Cabinet Secretary -Lesley Griffiths... | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
-..has announced -a 12-week consultation... | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
-..to look at plans that could allow -the culling of infected badgers... | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
-..in badly-affected areas, -as has happened in Northern Ireland. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
-But one measure which will be -introduced immediately... | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
-..is the division of Wales -into three zones. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
-One of the measures we are bringing -forward in today's statement... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
-..is regionalization. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
-We know that TB -is a very complex picture... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
-..but it's also not -a uniform picture across Wales. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
-We have a low incidence area, -we have two intermediate areas... | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
-..and two high TB incidence areas. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-In those high incidence areas, -we have some farms... | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
-..that have been under herd -breakdown restrictions for years. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
-I don't think that's sustainable -or acceptable. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-We have to find -a different way of dealing with it. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
-One of the plans -is to have bespoke action plans... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-..for those chronic herd breakdowns. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
-I would expect the farmer, -their vet and the APHA... | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
-..to work together to come up -with that bespoke action plan. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
-When you looked at -the most challenging areas... | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
-..you referred to -the Northern Irish Pilot Project. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-Tell us why you decided -to refer to that. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
-They cage-trapped badgers. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
-If they were negative, -they vaccinated them. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
-If they were positive, -they were humanely killed. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-I've been looking very closely -at the outcome of that. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
-It's important -for badgers' health and welfare too. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-We want to see -a healthier badger population too. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
-I'm not going to pre-empt -the bespoke action plans... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
-..but it's important -to look at all options. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
-The consultation is also considering -an Informed Purchasing Scheme... | 0:02:57 | 0:03:03 | |
-..to help farmers make decisions... | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
-..based on the health -of the cattle they want to buy. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
-It also proposes reducing the TB -compensation cap to 5,000. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:15 | |
-Plenty of food for thought. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-After the initial discussion -in the Senedd a few weeks ago... | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
-..how do the other parties feel -about the consultation? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-I hope everyone -will react positively. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-We finally have the opportunity -to create... | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
-..a national and regional plan -that will eradicate this disease. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
-A plan that will get to grips with -TB both in cattle and in wildlife... | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
-..in a moderate way -that is proportionate... | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
-..to the problems we have -in different areas. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
-Some of the plans stand out... | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
-..such as relaxing regulations -in some areas in North Wales. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
-Does that take us back -to a time before testing... | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
-..and does it increase the risk? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
-That area has been done, of course. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
-When it comes to something specific -concerning TB... | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-..it is possible to treat areas such -as north-west Wales as lower risk... | 0:04:07 | 0:04:13 | |
-..compared to other areas. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
-It follows that the burden on -farmers in those areas will be less. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
-Not everyone will agree -but I think it's the way forward... | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
-..to get the public and farmers -on board. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-The European Commission will also -see we take the matter seriously. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
-I welcome some parts -of the statement... | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-..that we heard from the -Cabinet Secretary this afternoon. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
-However, I don't feel -it goes far enough at the moment. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
-I feel that all badgers -carrying the disease must be culled. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
-I think it's important -that the Welsh Government acts... | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
-..after this consultation. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
-A vacuum has surrounded governmental -policy on this matter... | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
-..for the past year... | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-..since they confirmed -they were postponing vaccination. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
-I give a cautious welcome -to the statement. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
-After five years of denying that -badger culling has a role to play... | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
-..the government is now saying -culling could have a role... | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
-..on the basis -of the Northern Ireland model. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
-That is an important step. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
-We should remember that this -is a consultation document... | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
-..and not a definitive strategy. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
-Those in the agricultural sector, -rural communities and beyond... | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
-..who believe in badger culling -should respond positively to this... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-..and urge the government -to move in that direction. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
-Since the introduction -of the eradication scheme in 2012... | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
-..the number of new cases -has fallen 19%. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
-That seems to be good news. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
-Are the agricultural unions happy? | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-There is a glimmer of hope today. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
-She's spoken about the areas -badly affected by TB. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
-We've experienced this problem -for over 20 years at home. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
-Up to now, we haven't -held out much hope in Wales. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
-Badgers have been culled in England. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
-I half expected Wales -to follow in England's footsteps. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-But areas like Meirionnydd or -Anglesey rear good-quality cattle... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
-..that are free of TB... | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-..and that are as good as any cattle -anywhere in the world. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-They can now demonstrate this. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:34 | |
-It's definitely a step -in the right direction. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-The other important thing... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
-..is that they've recognized the -problem that exists in the wild. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
-Now that they've done that... | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
-..I hope we can build positively to -find a solution to the TB problem. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:54 | |
-The consultation -closes on 10 January. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
-The Cabinet Secretary is encouraging -anyone with an interest to respond. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:04 | |
-I think it's important that people -participate in the consultation. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-That's what it's there for. -I'm not pre-empting anything. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-I have no set ideas. I'm very -interested to hear people's views. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-I don't think -I've been controversial. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
-I've ruled out -an England-style cull in Wales. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-I think it's important that we keep -that evidence-based approach... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-..which we've always had. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
-I want to see a TB-free Wales -and I'm sure everybody else does... | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
-..particularly -in the farming sector. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-Very often these days, farmers' sons -venture into all sorts of sectors... | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
-..to earn a living. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
-Often, the work -has nothing to do with agriculture. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-But today, I've come to a farm -in Rhandirmwyn... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
-..to meet a young farmer -who's discovered... | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
-..that his farming skills -come in handy on the rugby pitch. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:01 | |
-The Llandovery players will not -be happy with the yellow card. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:07 | |
-Wyn Jones goes for the line! | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-He turns. He looks as though -he's grounded the ball. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
-The Llandovery boys... | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
-..are convinced that -the Cilycwm farmer has scored a try. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:20 | |
-Clynmawr near Cilycwm -is Wyn Jones' home. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
-This is where he developed -his skills as a rugby player. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
-The hard, physical work -he does on the farm... | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
-..has been an advantage to him -when playing as a loose-head prop... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
-..first for Llandovery RFC -and then for the Scarlets. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
-I started out at Llandovery -playing for the Under 7s. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
-I went up -through the various age groups... | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
-..from the Under 7s to the Under 16s -and then the youth team. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-I then made it into the first team. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
-From there, I worked my way up. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
-I've gone about it -the old-fashioned way! | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
-That's the way. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:05 | |
-When did the big moment come? -When did you play for the Scarlets? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
-I trained with them a little -before then so I was used to it. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
-I first played in an LV= game -about three or four seasons ago. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:20 | |
-That's where it started. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
-Llandovery RFC have had -an excellent season as well. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
-Yes, we had a very good season -last year. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
-We did well in the league -and we won the cup. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
-It was a big thing for the club. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
-The last time we won it -was about ten years ago. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
-I remember watching it and thinking -I'd like to do that one day! | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
-It was nice to be part of the team -that won it last year. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-How has the farm helped your career? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
-As with all farms, -there's a lot of hard work involved. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
-That can be seen in my rugby. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
-You always have to work hard. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
-I've been used to working hard -from a young age... | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
-..so that's definitely a help. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
-Wyn farms with his parents, -Emyr and Heulwen Jones... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
-..on a 400-acre farm. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
-They keep 50 crossbred -British Blue cattle and 650 sheep. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:23 | |
-But as Wyn becomes more successful -on the rugby field... | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-..responsibility for the farm -falls on his parents' shoulders. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
-Wyn has had a ball in his hand -as long as I can remember. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
-He was always playing with a ball -with the neighbours. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
-They were always kicking a ball -or dealing with the sheep. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
-Being brought up on a farm prepares -you for something like rugby. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:48 | |
-Oh, certainly. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
-I remember a Bluefaced ram -knocking Wyn to the floor... | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
-..when he was very little. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
-He got up, the ram knocked him over -again and he got straight back up. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
-You get used to taking blows -on a farm. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:06 | |
-As a mother, how does it feel -to watch your son playing rugby? | 0:11:06 | 0:11:12 | |
-I get very nervous. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
-I can't concentrate -on the game really. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
-I just watch Wyn. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
-What I'm most concerned about -is that he avoids getting injured. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
-I also want him to have a good game, -of course. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
-Wyn is lucky that you can both -keep things going on the farm. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
-It works quite well at the moment. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
-We're lucky -that we're in good health. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
-Wyn does help out as much as he can, -fair play. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-He's a strong lad and can help with -a lot of the heavy work on the farm. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
-One of his main interests -has always been Suffolk sheep. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
-He has his own flock -of pedigree Suffolk sheep. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
-We rear our own rams -and we sell some as well. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
-Wyn has always enjoyed -working on the farm. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-That's why he decided to study -Agriculture with Animal Science... | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
-..at Aberystwyth University. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
-It was always something I wanted to -do. That's where Dad went as well. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
-It had always been my goal. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
-Had you always wanted to farm? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
-Yes. Since I was a young lad, I -always wanted to come home to farm. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
-That was the first thing -I wanted to do. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
-The rugby has happened -through playing rugby. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:30 | |
-I never thought -I'd be a full-time rugby player. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
-I always thought -I'd be a full-time farmer! | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
-You have sheep and cattle here. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
-Which do you prefer? | 0:12:39 | 0:12:40 | |
-Which do you prefer? - -I prefer sheep. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
-I don't know why I chose -Suffolk sheep when I was young. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-But I love them. I have a little -flock and I really enjoy it. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
-At the moment, Emyr and Heulwen... | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
-..are very proud of Wyn's success -as a rugby player. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
-But what does the future hold -at Clynmawr? | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
-He'll come back to the farm, -without a doubt. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
-But whether he'll be here full-time, -we don't know. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
-The farm might not be large enough -for that. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
-He has other interests so maybe -he could follow up one of those too. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:19 | |
-He really likes farming -but I'm not sure a farm like this... | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
-..will be able to sustain him -in the future. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
-But at the moment, the rugby -and farming complement each other. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
-Yes, certainly. -His heart is in both. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
-It's very nice for him to be able to -come back to the farm to switch off. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:39 | |
-I'm sure you're both -very proud of him. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
-Oh, yes. We're very proud. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-When he scored a try last year -to win the Swalec Cup... | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-..we were extremely proud. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
-Which do you prefer at the moment - -the rugby or the farming? | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
-At the moment, -rugby's the big thing. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
-Playing rugby professionally doesn't -last long - it's a short career. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
-There'll be plenty of time to farm -afterwards. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
-Rugby's the main thing -but I enjoy farming. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
-Will you come home to Clynmawr? | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
-Will you come home to Clynmawr? - -Yes, I hope so. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
-That's what I always wanted to do. -That's why I went to Aberystwyth. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
-Hopefully one day, -that's what I will do. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
-At the moment, -Mam and Dad are at home... | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
-..and I help when I have a day off. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:38 | |
-But I hope to be at home full-time -one day. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
-We'll take a short break now. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
-Join us shortly to hear our -second question in the competition. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-And Daloni will be finding out more -about starting an egg business. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |

-Welcome back. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
-There has been a recent increase... | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
-..in the number of people -who eat eggs and chicken. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
-New business opportunities -have arisen to meet those demands. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
-Daloni -met a husband and wife team... | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
-..who are venturing into -the industry at a very high level. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
-How do you go -from keeping 30 chickens... | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
-..to keeping 16,000 of them -in an enormous shed like this? | 0:15:32 | 0:15:38 | |
-That's what's about to happen... | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
-..here at Parc Gwern-Nannau Farm -in Llangwm, near Cerrigydrudion. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:45 | |
-One small business -is about to expand into a big one. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
-With the help of Agrisgop, -Arwel and Delyth Jones... | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
-..are starting an egg business -on their 56-acre farm. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
-They've both been keen -to work on the farm... | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-..rather than being -in full-time jobs. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
-Because of a lack of land, that -hasn't been possible - until now. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
-Since we moved here -four years ago... | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-..we've considered what we could do -to bring more into the business. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:19 | |
-We've kept chickens for years. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-We thought -it would be a good idea... | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-..if we went into eggs. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
-That's how it all started. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
-There'll be 16,000 chickens here. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
-I've given up my job, -so I'll be at home full-time... | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
-..doing the day-to-day work. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
-It's a good location, Arwel, -not far from anywhere. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
-We're lucky to be by the road, -making it convenient for lorries... | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
-..to pick up the eggs -and to deliver feed. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
-Do you need a contract -to start such an enterprise? | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
-The first thing we did -was look for a contract. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-We've gone with Lloyd's. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
-We buy the chickens from them... | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
-..we buy the feed from them -and we sell the eggs back to them. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:16 | |
-Egg production as a business... | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
-..is worth over 39 million -in Wales every year... | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
-..and there's a growing demand here -for both eggs and chicks. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:28 | |
-Elaine Rees organizes meetings... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
-..with members of Agrisgop's -chicken group up to twice a month. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
-It's a chance for poultry farmers -to discuss all aspects of the job. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:42 | |
-Where costs are concerned... | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
-..do you need a bucketful of money -to start an enterprise like this? | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
-You must talk to your bank -and secure their support, I think. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
-It costs about half a million, -500,000, to start up. | 0:17:54 | 0:18:00 | |
-When will they start -to get some of that back? | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
-They say that if you look -at the figures... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-..and talk to the bank... | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
-..that the bank likes -to make the money over ten years. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:12 | |
-But it's a job to know -from one year to the next... | 0:18:13 | 0:18:19 | |
-..what the price of eggs will be -and what feed will cost. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
-But banks always say... | 0:18:24 | 0:18:25 | |
-..that they're comfortable -with loans over ten years. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:30 | |
-What advice would you give -to anyone considering such a scheme? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
-Getting a contract -is very important. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
-Eggs and a big shed are useless -if there's nowhere for them to go. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
-And get support from the bank, -unless you have money under the bed! | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
-No, you do need the bank behind you. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
-With the unit about to open... | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
-..Delyth has left her full-time job -at a local school... | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
-..to focus on chickens and eggs. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
-When is the first chicken -arriving here, Delyth? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
-The chickens are coming -on 1 November. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-Are they? Not long now then! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
-Are they? Not long now then! - -No, it's not. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
-It'll be here before we turn around. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
-It'll be here before we turn around. - -And it's an enormous shed. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
-What are the dimensions? | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
-It's 92 metres long. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
-Yes, it's quite long! | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
-Would it have been hard -without Agrisgop's support? | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
-Yes, it would have been much harder. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
-Arwel and I -are very grateful to Elaine. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
-She's helped us all along the way. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
-Without her, I don't think -we'd have got where we are today. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
-And you'll be here collecting eggs -from now on, Delyth! | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
-Yes, and I'll need -to get into a routine quickly! | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
-After the chickens arrive... | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
-..Arwel will still keep -about 100 Cheviot and Beulah sheep. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:59 | |
-I'll still keep sheep. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:01 | |
-I like being with sheep. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
-I even compete at some shows. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
-I even compete at some shows. - -Do you? | 0:20:06 | 0:20:07 | |
-But you still work full-time. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
-Yes, I'm still a full-time builder. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
-Is keeping chickens -something you really want to do? | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
-I've been thinking about it -for years, but now it's a reality. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:22 | |
-And Delyth, clearly... | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
-She's really looking forward to it. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
-She's really looking forward to it. - -She's very enthusiastic. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-Were there other options -on this land? | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
-Not on this land, no. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:34 | |
-This farm is so small. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
-I think this is the only way -we could have carried on farming. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:42 | |
-And you're delighted. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:44 | |
-And you're delighted. - -Yes, I am. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:45 | |
-You get the best of three worlds! | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
-You get the best of three worlds! - -Hopefully, yes. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:48 | |
-Within a few days, there will be -16,000 chickens on this land. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
-Do you know what? | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
-I get the feeling... | 0:20:59 | 0:21:00 | |
-..that Delyth and Arwel -are fully invested in this scheme. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
-They're so passionate -about what they're doing. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
-You can't help -but wish them the best of luck. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
-So, this is the way forward. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:18 | |
-Yes, certainly. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
-We've given it 100%... | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
-..and we're determined -to make it succeed. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
-For the next generation. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
-For the next generation. - -For the next generation, yes. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
