-At the start of a new year, -we must look to the future...	0:00:34	0:00:38
-..and try to regain the ground -lost in 1996.	0:00:38	0:00:40
-The developments here -at Carmarthen mart...	0:00:41	0:00:44
-..lay strong foundations -for the coming years.	0:00:44	0:00:47
-At the conference in Oxford, farmers -are discussing the way forward...	0:00:48	0:00:52
-..to get the best out of 1997.	0:00:53	0:00:54
-As the industry worries about -the future for young farmers...	0:00:55	0:00:58
-..we'll hear from a group -who went to Belgium...	0:00:59	0:01:01
-..to find out -what's happening on the Continent.	0:01:02	0:01:05
-Welcome to Ffermio.	0:01:05	0:01:06
-Happy new year -and welcome to Ffermio in 2017.	0:01:07	0:01:11
-Before we embark on a new year -of agricultural stories...	0:01:12	0:01:15
-..we go for a trip down memory lane.	0:01:15	0:01:18
-This programme is celebrating -its 20th birthday this year.	0:01:19	0:01:23
-In this special programme...	0:01:23	0:01:26
-..we'll look back at some of the -agricultural headlines since 1997.	0:01:26	0:01:31
-Sulwyn Thomas, Gerallt Pennant -and Rachael Garside...	0:01:31	0:01:34
-..were the first presenters.	0:01:35	0:01:37
-On the first programme on Wednesday -night, 8 January, 20 years ago...	0:01:37	0:01:41
-..BSE was troubling farmers.	0:01:41	0:01:44
-A year ago exactly, -Health Minister Stephen Dorrell...	0:01:46	0:01:49
-..gave a fateful statement to the -farming industry in Parliament...	0:01:50	0:01:54
-..about a possible link...	0:01:54	0:01:55
-..between the latest cases of -a new strain of CJD and eating beef.	0:01:56	0:02:00
-The committee has concluded -that the most likely explanation...	0:02:00	0:02:04
-I think we were the only -agricultural programme...	0:02:05	0:02:08
-..on the television -throughout the UK at that time.	0:02:09	0:02:12
-That caused problems for some.	0:02:12	0:02:15
-They didn't like...	0:02:15	0:02:17
-..that there were three presenters -without any farming experience.	0:02:17	0:02:22
-It caused problems for one company.	0:02:22	0:02:27
-They'd told people not to contribute -as we didn't know anything.	0:02:27	0:02:32
-But they didn't know what we had.	0:02:32	0:02:35
-We had consultants and experts.	0:02:35	0:02:38
-We had a great team.	0:02:38	0:02:40
-But most of all, -we emphasized from the start...	0:02:40	0:02:44
-..that Ffermio -was a journalistic programme...	0:02:44	0:02:47
-..that would challenge people -involved in farming.	0:02:47	0:02:51
-To do that, you needed journalists.	0:02:51	0:02:54
-BSE was under control at last.	0:02:55	0:02:57
-It was at its worst in 1992, -with almost 4,000 cases in Wales.	0:02:57	0:03:02
-That figure -went down to 600 last year.	0:03:02	0:03:05
-This year so far, -there have only been seven cases.	0:03:05	0:03:08
-The most important thing for us -on Ffermio from the start...	0:03:09	0:03:12
-..is that we reflect -Welsh farmers' views...	0:03:13	0:03:15
-..and we focus -on the events and subjects...	0:03:15	0:03:18
-..that matter to agriculture -and the countryside.	0:03:18	0:03:21
-People certainly had their say -on Ffermio's Forum.	0:03:22	0:03:25
-Welcome to a special edition -of Ffermio - Ffermio's Forum.	0:03:27	0:03:31
-We're at Theatr Felinfach.	0:03:31	0:03:34
-Behind me are 200 farmers -and people involved in farming.	0:03:34	0:03:38
-In front of them, -Bob Parry, president of the FUW...	0:03:38	0:03:42
-..Elinor Keatley from Milk Marque...	0:03:43	0:03:45
-..Meuric Rees, -president of the RWAS...	0:03:45	0:03:48
-..and John Lloyd Jones, -president of NFU Cymru.	0:03:48	0:03:51
-For a forum, you need questions.	0:03:52	0:03:55
-We'll start in Ceredigion with -Lloyd Jones from Llanddewi Brefi.	0:04:03	0:04:09
-He has the first question.	0:04:09	0:04:12
-Good evening.	0:04:13	0:04:14
-The age of rural farmers -goes up every year.	0:04:14	0:04:19
-Why then can't we take advantage...	0:04:19	0:04:22
-..of money offered -through the European Community...	0:04:22	0:04:25
-..to farmers -who want to take early retirement?	0:04:25	0:04:29
-I'm about to retire. -Maybe I should have retired already.	0:04:29	0:04:33
-My mind is starting to go -and a computer is needed these days.	0:04:34	0:04:37
-It will be hard -to leave the old home.	0:04:38	0:04:40
-It's important -that young farmers especially...	0:04:40	0:04:43
-..get the opportunity to see how -farming is done in other countries.	0:04:44	0:04:48
-Gerallt got the opportunity -in the very first programme...	0:04:48	0:04:51
-..to join a group of young farmers -on a trip to Belgium.	0:04:52	0:04:55
-It was very interesting -going to Brussels.	0:04:57	0:05:00
-We mentioned -the history of Brussels...	0:05:00	0:05:03
-..but we did that through the eyes -of the young farmers.	0:05:03	0:05:07
-It's interesting to look back -at those enthusiastic faces.	0:05:08	0:05:12
-They're still involved -in the industry...	0:05:12	0:05:15
-..people like Derek Rees -and John Davies.	0:05:15	0:05:18
-They were starting their careers -in agricultural politics.	0:05:18	0:05:23
-At the time, -Euros Jones from Llangernyw...	0:05:23	0:05:26
-..was working for the NFU -in Brussels.	0:05:26	0:05:29
-People pronounced his name -more like the currency!	0:05:29	0:05:33
-He knew on which doors to knock.	0:05:33	0:05:35
-More importantly, -he knew which doors to open...	0:05:35	0:05:39
-..so these people could see how -the organization worked in Europe.	0:05:39	0:05:43
-It's significant -that the story has changed...	0:05:43	0:05:47
-..and that Europe again -is very prominent in farmers' minds.	0:05:47	0:05:51
-The farmer has a quota of 400,000 -litres and milks 60 cattle.	0:05:51	0:05:56
-A personal look at the situation -for European farmers...	0:05:56	0:05:59
-..is an eye-opener -for the Welsh farmers...	0:06:00	0:06:03
-..and raises important questions.	0:06:03	0:06:05
-The first item I did for Ffermio...	0:06:06	0:06:08
-..was about scanning rams -at Gelli Aur college near Llandeilo.	0:06:09	0:06:13
-Before I started on Ffermio, -I'd never been on a farm...	0:06:13	0:06:19
-..not to mention -being anywhere near a ram.	0:06:19	0:06:23
-I was a journalist from Cardiff.	0:06:23	0:06:25
-I turned up in brand-new wellies.	0:06:25	0:06:28
-A farmer asked me where I came from. -I told him I came from Cardiff.	0:06:28	0:06:32
-"There aren't many rams in Cardiff," -was his reply.	0:06:32	0:06:36
-He'd seen through me -but I learned so much.	0:06:36	0:06:39
-I read the Farmers Weekly -and the Farmers Guardian.	0:06:39	0:06:43
-Gradually, -I got to know the subject well.	0:06:43	0:06:47
-For three years -in Gelli Aur near Llandeilo...	0:06:47	0:06:51
-..the college has implemented the -strategy using Welsh Mountain rams.	0:06:51	0:06:56
-There are 150 over the winter -here this year.	0:06:56	0:06:59
-What strikes me...	0:07:00	0:07:01
-..is how many agricultural stories -20 years ago...	0:07:01	0:07:05
-..were at the front -of the news agenda.	0:07:05	0:07:08
-Various protests...	0:07:08	0:07:10
-..and things like British beef being -banned throughout Europe after BSE.	0:07:10	0:07:16
-However, now, -the same problems persist...	0:07:17	0:07:20
-..but they're not given the -same attention and I don't know why.	0:07:20	0:07:25
-The world feels like it's changed.	0:07:25	0:07:27
-The end of the 1990s -saw many protests.	0:07:29	0:07:32
-Farmers were angered -by many government decisions.	0:07:33	0:07:36
-A quarter of a million went to -London in support of rural rights.	0:07:37	0:07:42
-As things became heated -during the protests...	0:07:43	0:07:46
-..one man came to the fore as the -leader and a voice for common sense.	0:07:46	0:07:51
-Brynle Williams became known -to most of us in 2000...	0:07:54	0:07:59
-..when he led the protest in Stanlow -against the rise in fuel prices.	0:08:00	0:08:04
-But he'd been protesting -before then.	0:08:04	0:08:07
-He was a part of the campaign -in Liverpool 40 years ago...	0:08:07	0:08:10
-..to try and secure better prices -for farmers for their meat.	0:08:11	0:08:14
-In 1997, he protested in Holyhead.	0:08:15	0:08:19
-They come this way, right? -Do you all agree?	0:08:19	0:08:22
-Right.	0:08:22	0:08:24
-Five o'clock in the morning, -we're gone.	0:08:24	0:08:27
-All lorries will be held over there -until five o'clock tomorrow morning.	0:08:28	0:08:32
-It was three in the morning.	0:08:34	0:08:36
-I'm not sure how I got in.	0:08:38	0:08:41
-I remember a policeman -put a hand on my shoulder.	0:08:42	0:08:46
-"Come with us," he said.	0:08:46	0:08:48
-We went into the port office.	0:08:49	0:08:51
-The next thing, I was standing -next to Inspector Gerry Jones.	0:08:53	0:08:58
-I remember that Gerry Jones -was the Inspector's name.	0:08:58	0:09:01
-I heard on the radio -that farmers had entered the port.	0:09:02	0:09:05
-"Go," he said.	0:09:06	0:09:07
-There was a man -from Stena, I think...	0:09:07	0:09:11
-..who denied -that any meat was being imported.	0:09:11	0:09:15
-When I went into the port, -there were three lorries.	0:09:15	0:09:18
-One had Silver Burger on its side.	0:09:18	0:09:20
-It would scare anyone...	0:09:22	0:09:24
-..seeing 2,000 farmers -shouting and making noise.	0:09:25	0:09:29
-He couldn't get to the ferry.	0:09:32	0:09:35
-It took eight or nine minutes -to remove the meat.	0:09:36	0:09:40
-The farmers were delighted.	0:09:40	0:09:42
-The meat was thrown into the sea.	0:09:43	0:09:45
-I remember going on the Tuesday -to Cheshunt in Hertfordshire...	0:09:47	0:09:51
-..to Tesco's head office.	0:09:52	0:09:54
-Terry Leahy -denied it was their meat.	0:09:54	0:09:58
-I chucked a box on the table. -I think I still have that box.	0:09:59	0:10:03
-I told him I'd taken the box -from his lorry on Sunday night.	0:10:03	0:10:08
-But it wasn't these protests...	0:10:11	0:10:13
-..that made the press and -politicians take notice of Brynle.	0:10:13	0:10:17
-That happened 11 years ago.	0:10:18	0:10:19
-He'd had enough with -the steep increase in fuel prices.	0:10:20	0:10:24
-He decided to act.	0:10:24	0:10:25
-After a stormy meeting, he led -protesters to Stanlow oil refinery.	0:10:26	0:10:32
-They prevented lorries from entering -or leaving for almost a week.	0:10:32	0:10:37
-Over the past seven years, I've...	0:10:37	0:10:41
-My heart...	0:10:42	0:10:44
-There's something special -about representing people.	0:10:45	0:10:49
-Talking to people whose voice...	0:10:49	0:10:53
-My mouth is a lot bigger!	0:10:53	0:10:55
-You know...	0:10:56	0:10:58
-..helping someone -is an honour and a privilege.	0:10:58	0:11:05
-A big honour.	0:11:05	0:11:06
-Anyone can stand there ranting, -swearing and being loud.	0:11:07	0:11:12
-But you have a duty when you stand -in front of 2,000 men.	0:11:14	0:11:18
-It's no use saying, -"Righto, boys, let's go!"	0:11:18	0:11:22
-You have to think it through -and think why you're there.	0:11:24	0:11:28
-What do you want to achieve?	0:11:28	0:11:30
-What do you expect to get out of it?	0:11:31	0:11:34
-Not you personally.	0:11:34	0:11:35
-That's what I saw with the fuel.	0:11:35	0:11:38
-That's what I saw with the beef.	0:11:38	0:11:41
-It affected my family, -my neighbours and my rural area.	0:11:41	0:11:46
-If people -want to call that politics...	0:11:47	0:11:50
-..then I'm very proud -to be a part of it.	0:11:51	0:11:53

-At the end of the 1990s...	0:12:20	0:12:22
-..the Welsh Assembly was responsible -for Welsh agriculture.	0:12:22	0:12:26
-It's not a question -of how I've handled it...	0:12:27	0:12:29
-..it's how the situation -has evolved.	0:12:29	0:12:32
-Christine Gwyther was -the first Agriculture Secretary.	0:12:32	0:12:36
-Before long, -Carwyn Jones was appointed.	0:12:36	0:12:39
-That was in the year 2000.	0:12:40	0:12:42
-He went on to study law -at Aberystwyth University.	0:12:42	0:12:45
-There, he was chairman -of the Labour Club.	0:12:46	0:12:49
-That sealed an interest -in politics...	0:12:49	0:12:52
-..that was started by -the miners' strike in the 1980s.	0:12:52	0:12:56
-After working as a barrister -in Cardiff and Swansea...	0:12:56	0:12:59
-..he became a full-time politician -taking the Assembly's Bridgend seat.	0:13:00	0:13:05
-He was named Agriculture Secretary -on the eve of the Royal Welsh Show.	0:13:05	0:13:09
-That was after a period on the -assembly's agriculture committee.	0:13:09	0:13:13
-At the start, -I read a lot about farming.	0:13:13	0:13:17
-I had to learn a lot -about all the European schemes.	0:13:17	0:13:21
-I did that.	0:13:21	0:13:23
-By now, I hope I understand -what is going on.	0:13:24	0:13:28
-Things can change very quickly -in agriculture.	0:13:28	0:13:33
-The other thing I do -is read the farming press...	0:13:33	0:13:37
-..to keep up -with what the industry thinks.	0:13:37	0:13:40
-Within six months, Carwyn Jones -would face a huge challenge...	0:13:41	0:13:45
-..as Minister for Rural Affairs...	0:13:46	0:13:48
-..in one of the darkest periods -for agriculture across the UK.	0:13:48	0:13:53
-First tonight, the news that -a case of Foot & Mouth disease...	0:13:55	0:13:59
-..has been discovered -in Essex, England.	0:13:59	0:14:02
-David Thomas, the Veterinary Manager -of West Wales...	0:14:02	0:14:05
-..for the Agriculture Department -explains more.	0:14:05	0:14:09
-At the moment, we know the disease -has hit two places in Essex.	0:14:09	0:14:12
-The first was in an abattoir and -the second in the farm next to it.	0:14:13	0:14:17
-Without doubt, -the most turbulent time...	0:14:18	0:14:20
-..and most interesting -for us as a team...	0:14:20	0:14:24
-..was the terrible period -of the Foot & Mouth outbreak.	0:14:24	0:14:28
-We weren't allowed -to even visit farms.	0:14:28	0:14:32
-We were confined to a studio.	0:14:33	0:14:35
-That was an unfamiliar experience -for some of us.	0:14:35	0:14:39
-We were used to wandering and -a little frightened of a studio.	0:14:39	0:14:43
-It was going to be twice a week -for a long period.	0:14:43	0:14:46
-I enjoyed it in the end.	0:14:46	0:14:48
-One of the most important things -about that was that we'd grown...	0:14:48	0:14:53
-..to be a programme that provided -a full service to farmers.	0:14:53	0:14:57
-We gave out advice and information.	0:14:57	0:15:00
-We were also very fortunate that the -Agriculture Minister spoke Welsh...	0:15:00	0:15:05
-..as were the heads of the unions.	0:15:06	0:15:09
-The Chief Veterinary Officer -also spoke Welsh.	0:15:09	0:15:12
-These weren't secondary sources.	0:15:12	0:15:15
-We got information -from the absolute source.	0:15:15	0:15:18
-We could keep people informed.	0:15:18	0:15:22
-MAFF's Chief Veterinary Officer, -Jim Scudamore...	0:15:22	0:15:26
-..has said the current outbreak -is worse than the one in the 1960s.	0:15:26	0:15:30
-What is your opinion on how -the disease is being treated?	0:15:30	0:15:33
-Give us a ring on 01558 823 828.	0:15:33	0:15:36
-We have a panel of special guests -joining us in the studio.	0:15:36	0:15:40
-Gerallt is in Tafarn Y Rhos, -Rhostrehwfa on Anglesey.	0:15:40	0:15:44
-Hearing the words Foot & Mouth -is scary enough.	0:15:45	0:15:48
-I was in Scotland -and rushed back to Wales.	0:15:48	0:15:51
-The production team -had to find a way...	0:15:51	0:15:53
-..to describe the spread -of the disease.	0:15:54	0:15:56
-We had to do that without risking -the spread of the disease.	0:15:56	0:16:00
-Anglesey was one of the first Welsh -counties to suffer a diagnosis.	0:16:01	0:16:05
-I remember broadcasting -from North Wales...	0:16:05	0:16:08
-..with Menai Bridge -in the background.	0:16:08	0:16:11
-We tried to collect some experts.	0:16:11	0:16:13
-People were desperate -for information.	0:16:13	0:16:15
-Vets, farmers, obviously and experts -who could spread the news.	0:16:16	0:16:20
-The news was very sad -to have to relay and listen to.	0:16:20	0:16:23
-We had to be responsible.	0:16:23	0:16:25
-If there was even a suggestion -we were spreading the disease...	0:16:25	0:16:29
-..by visiting all of Wales...	0:16:30	0:16:31
-..that would be very poor -for an agricultural programme.	0:16:31	0:16:35
-Unfortunately, this was -the strongest form of the virus.	0:16:41	0:16:44
-Type O, named Pan-Asian.	0:16:44	0:16:46
-In no time at all, it threatened -every corner of the country.	0:16:47	0:16:50
-Two days after discovering -the first case...	0:16:58	0:17:01
-..Agriculture Minister Nick Brown...	0:17:01	0:17:03
-..announced a ban -on moving any livestock.	0:17:03	0:17:06
-All the markets closed instantly.	0:17:07	0:17:09
-Agriculture was in crisis.	0:17:09	0:17:12
-By 25 February, -fallen stock was being burned...	0:17:15	0:17:18
-..with thousands more -waiting to be culled.	0:17:19	0:17:22
-Government gave local authorities -the right to close public footpaths.	0:17:23	0:17:28
-Soon after that, -the countryside was all shut down.	0:17:28	0:17:32
-I have to say, -the Foot & Mouth outbreak...	0:17:33	0:17:37
-..back in 2001 lives in my memory.	0:17:37	0:17:40
-It was a very busy period, -obviously.	0:17:40	0:17:43
-I think that's the biggest challenge -I've had in my career.	0:17:43	0:17:47
-As a journalist, it's important -to be neutral and dispassionate.	0:17:47	0:17:52
-You shouldn't get too close -to a subject.	0:17:52	0:17:55
-It was almost impossible -during that period.	0:17:55	0:17:58
-I remember interviewing a farmer -during a live programme.	0:17:58	0:18:02
-It was a phone interview.	0:18:02	0:18:03
-He was explaining -how the animals were killed.	0:18:03	0:18:06
-The farmer was crying -and I could feel myself welling up.	0:18:06	0:18:10
-I remember being glad that -I wasn't on camera at that point.	0:18:10	0:18:14
-On 27 February...	0:18:15	0:18:17
-..the first case was confirmed -at an abattoir in Anglesey.	0:18:17	0:18:21
-3,000 sheep were culled there.	0:18:21	0:18:24
-The virus spread quickly.	0:18:28	0:18:29
-The following day, -two new cases came to light.	0:18:30	0:18:33
-This time, they were in Powys.	0:18:34	0:18:35
-Farmers called on the government -to extend the cull...	0:18:36	0:18:39
-..to include animals -suspected of having the disease...	0:18:39	0:18:42
-..and animals on farms -bordering infected farms.	0:18:43	0:18:46
-As the situation worsened, everyone -was looking for someone to blame.	0:18:46	0:18:50
-The Assembly -was an obvious target...	0:18:51	0:18:53
-..particularly the minister -responsible for rural affairs.	0:18:53	0:18:57
-The Assembly -doesn't have responsibility...	0:18:58	0:19:01
-..for a disease like this one.	0:19:01	0:19:03
-This is currently the responsibility -of DEFRA in England and Wales.	0:19:03	0:19:07
-SVS have been speaking -to the local authorities...	0:19:08	0:19:11
-..about moving the plan forward.	0:19:11	0:19:13
-People meet with Assembly staff -every day and then expect...	0:19:13	0:19:17
-..that the Assembly and the minister -would have legal power.	0:19:17	0:19:21
-Having said that, my opinions -were taken into account by DEFRA.	0:19:21	0:19:26
-There was very little disagreement -between both sides.	0:19:27	0:19:30
-It was important to go around Wales -and speak to farmers.	0:19:31	0:19:34
-I've been to Anglesey, Powys -and the grazers on the Beacons.	0:19:34	0:19:38
-That's very important.	0:19:39	0:19:41
-The agricultural unions...	0:19:42	0:19:43
-..had been in the midst -of the crisis since the start.	0:19:44	0:19:48
-They had the task of influencing -government policy at every level.	0:19:48	0:19:52
-We had quite an influence...	0:19:54	0:19:56
-..from February -up until the election in June.	0:19:56	0:19:59
-Since then, none at all.	0:20:00	0:20:02
-But at the end of March -up until the start of May...	0:20:02	0:20:08
-..when they postponed the election.	0:20:08	0:20:12
-I was in with the Prime Minister -nine times in a three-week period.	0:20:13	0:20:17
-That was an experience -to begin with.	0:20:17	0:20:20
-That's how close -to the heart of government I was.	0:20:20	0:20:25
-On the Ministry of Defence's land -at Sennybridge...	0:20:26	0:20:29
-..work began on digging a huge hole -for 200,000 bodies.	0:20:30	0:20:33
-Due to the size of the hole...	0:20:33	0:20:35
-..it was clear bodies from other -areas would be brought to the Epynt.	0:20:35	0:20:40
-Local people were furious.	0:20:40	0:20:42
-In the first instance, -the local people were frightened.	0:20:44	0:20:47
-They were frightened -of catching the disease.	0:20:47	0:20:50
-We counted up the number of farmers -who have boundaries with the Epynt.	0:20:51	0:20:57
-We'd counted up -about 500 young farmers...	0:20:57	0:21:02
-..who made a living from the Epynt.	0:21:02	0:21:06
-That was all going to go.	0:21:06	0:21:09
-On 10 April, another blow landed.	0:21:16	0:21:19
-Following cases near Llanelwedd, -the Royal Welsh Show was cancelled.	0:21:19	0:21:23
-The news was a big disappointment -for farmers.	0:21:24	0:21:27
-It was also a disaster for tourism.	0:21:28	0:21:30
-The Royal Welsh Show and Showground -bring in 30 million a year...	0:21:31	0:21:35
-..for the local economy.	0:21:36	0:21:37
-The local businesses suffered -from the losses for years to come.	0:21:38	0:21:42
-It wasn't just rural businesses -that suffered.	0:21:45	0:21:48
-The capital city suffered too...	0:21:48	0:21:50
-..after 6 Nations rugby matches -were postponed.	0:21:51	0:21:54
-Cardiff lost millions of pounds.	0:21:54	0:21:57
-The Urdd organization -suffered due to the virus.	0:22:03	0:22:07
-That was during one of -their busiest periods of the year.	0:22:07	0:22:11
-Another thing I remember following -the Foot & Mouth outbreak...	0:22:12	0:22:16
-..as television crews...	0:22:16	0:22:17
-..we had to be totally conscientious -about bio security.	0:22:17	0:22:21
-We always had special wellingtons -in the car.	0:22:21	0:22:24
-We had buckets -and a huge bottle of disinfectant.	0:22:24	0:22:27
-We were incredibly careful.	0:22:27	0:22:29
-Had we not been, -it could be a disaster.	0:22:29	0:22:31
-In addition to the reporting...	0:22:31	0:22:33
-..we came face to face -with people in crisis.	0:22:33	0:22:36
-We had to remember that.	0:22:36	0:22:38
-People were looking into the abyss.	0:22:39	0:22:42
-There was a threat -to their livelihood.	0:22:42	0:22:46
-It was quite a sobering thing -to witness.	0:22:46	0:22:49
-After two uncertain months, farmers -were under a lot of pressure.	0:22:50	0:22:54
-Leaving the industry -was the answer for some.	0:22:54	0:22:57
-The compensation -was a help to take that step.	0:22:57	0:23:01
-Many farmers were fed up -with working long hours...	0:23:01	0:23:05
-..with no holidays -only to face an uncertain future.	0:23:05	0:23:08
-A survey in the Farmers Weekly...	0:23:08	0:23:11
-..showed that 40% of farmers -considered giving up...	0:23:11	0:23:14
-..or at the very least cutting back.	0:23:15	0:23:17
-Stress was the main factor -behind their decision.	0:23:17	0:23:21
-It was teamwork.	0:23:22	0:23:23
-As the programme's team, -we were living through it.	0:23:23	0:23:27
-We were broadcasting live -twice a week.	0:23:28	0:23:30
-We got a sense of it from hearing -these heart-wrenching stories...	0:23:30	0:23:34
-..every day about what -was happening in the countryside.	0:23:34	0:23:38
-By the end, it felt like -we were offering a service...	0:23:39	0:23:42
-..for people who were going through -this terrible thing at that time.	0:23:42	0:23:46
-The phones were ringing -all through the programme.	0:23:46	0:23:49
-The crew would answer the phones -and still be talking...	0:23:49	0:23:53
-..long after the programme -had finished.	0:23:53	0:23:56
-People needed to talk.	0:23:56	0:23:58
-At the time, -we could offer them an ear.	0:23:58	0:24:02
-The final cases of the disease -in Wales...	0:24:03	0:24:06
-..came on 9 August in Brecon...	0:24:06	0:24:08
-..and three days later -in Crickhowell.	0:24:09	0:24:11
-During the crisis, -there were 118 cases in Wales.	0:24:11	0:24:15
-After eight years -presenting Ffermio...	0:24:17	0:24:21
-..Sulwyn, Rachael and Gerallt's -period came to an end in 2004.	0:24:21	0:24:26
-I have to say -that I had a lot of fun on Ffermio.	0:24:26	0:24:31
-I met so many characters, -here in Wales and abroad.	0:24:31	0:24:36
-I got so many opportunities.	0:24:36	0:24:38
-I can be totally honest and say -presenting Ffermio changed my life.	0:24:38	0:24:44
-I haven't regretted it at all.	0:24:44	0:24:46
-It was an honour and a pleasure.	0:24:46	0:24:49
-The wellies are a bit dirtier -by now.	0:24:49	0:24:52
-For their last item -in their last programme in 2004...	0:24:54	0:24:58
-..Sulwyn and Gerallt travelled -to London for the Smithfield Show.	0:24:58	0:25:03
-Strangely, what I remember most -from my eight years with Ffermio...	0:25:04	0:25:11
-..was the final programme we made -as a team of presenters at the time.	0:25:11	0:25:16
-It was at the Smithfield, -what was the last Smithfield Show.	0:25:16	0:25:20
-I remember two things.	0:25:20	0:25:22
-An Irishman coming up to me -and damning me...	0:25:22	0:25:25
-..and telling me this and that.	0:25:25	0:25:27
-I thought, -"There's something wrong here."	0:25:28	0:25:30
-That Irishman -watched Ffermio every week...	0:25:30	0:25:33
-..and something had gone wrong -with the subtitles.	0:25:33	0:25:37
-He was furious!	0:25:37	0:25:39
-But he proved a point.	0:25:39	0:25:41
-Ffermio had an audience -beyond Wales.	0:25:42	0:25:45
-It was acceptable beyond Wales.	0:25:45	0:25:47
-It was an important service.	0:25:48	0:25:50
-The other thing I remember...	0:25:50	0:25:52
-..at the last Smithfield -was that there was some drama.	0:25:52	0:25:56
-Who had gone and bought -the best bullock in the show?	0:25:57	0:26:00
-Wil Williams from Machynlleth.	0:26:01	0:26:03
-He was a real character.	0:26:03	0:26:05
-We had some real fun at the time.	0:26:05	0:26:08
-That eased the fact that it was our -last programme as a presenting team.	0:26:08	0:26:14
-Are you glad that you came down?	0:26:15	0:26:16
-Are you glad that you came down? - -You have to come down.	0:26:16	0:26:18
-It's his birthday in a week.	0:26:18	0:26:20
-We've got him a birthday present.	0:26:20	0:26:22
-What can you buy a man -that's got everything?	0:26:23	0:26:25
-Merry Christmas.	0:26:26	0:26:28
-Season of goodwill -and here they are - Wil and Wil!	0:26:28	0:26:31
-Hammer's up. Any more? 3,000. -We sell away at 3,000.	0:26:34	0:26:38
-That's it from the Smithfield.	0:26:39	0:26:41
-It's also it for this series. -Ffermio will be back in February.	0:26:41	0:26:45
-There will be -a new team of presenters.	0:26:45	0:26:47
-Before we say goodbye...	0:26:47	0:26:49
-..we have to thank you -for your company over the years.	0:26:49	0:26:53
-On a personal note...	0:26:53	0:26:54
-..thank you for the warm welcome -we've had from so many of you.	0:26:54	0:26:58
-I'd like to second those sentiments.	0:26:59	0:27:01
-All we have left to do -on behalf of the team...	0:27:01	0:27:04
-..is wish you all a merry Christmas -and a happy new year.	0:27:04	0:27:07

-Subtitles	0:27:11	0:27:11
-Subtitles - -Subtitles	0:27:11	0:27:13
-A new series, new faces. -Ffermio is back with a new service.	0:27:40	0:27:44
-This is Welshpool mart.	0:27:44	0:27:45
-Like all marts, it's a place to meet -and to chat for rural people.	0:27:46	0:27:50
-On Ffermio, -we'll be showing and analysing...	0:27:50	0:27:52
-..what's happening -in farming and the countryside...	0:27:53	0:27:56
-..and offering -a more comprehensive service.	0:27:56	0:27:59
-At the start of 2005...	0:27:59	0:28:00
-..Alun, Iola Wyn, Mererid Wigley and -myself started presenting Ffermio.	0:28:01	0:28:05
-The first item I did -was about fishing.	0:28:05	0:28:08
-I cast using Nica Prichard's rod.	0:28:08	0:28:11
-Half of it -disappeared into the River Nevern!	0:28:12	0:28:14
-But things have improved since then.	0:28:15	0:28:16
-But things have improved since then. - -A little!	0:28:16	0:28:17
-One thing's for sure, the weather -is a challenge for many farmers.	0:28:18	0:28:22
-It was a subject for Iola Wyn -in 2010.	0:28:22	0:28:25
-It's been a difficult period -across Wales because of the snow.	0:28:26	0:28:31
-People haven't been able -to go to work.	0:28:32	0:28:34
-Schools, minor roads -and even shops have been shut.	0:28:34	0:28:38
-But whatever the weather, -farm work must continue.	0:28:38	0:28:42
-It looks pretty, but the snow -brings another challenge...	0:28:54	0:28:58
-..to those -who work daily on the farm.	0:28:58	0:29:01
-With minor roads not being gritted, -many farms have been closed off.	0:29:01	0:29:06
-Vehicles haven't been able -to enter or leave.	0:29:06	0:29:09
-It's a problem for farmers -who need feed for their animals...	0:29:10	0:29:14
-..or who require vets.	0:29:14	0:29:16
-No-one is more dependent on the -roads being open than dairy farmers.	0:29:16	0:29:20
-Arwyn Bowen had no choice -but to dispose of his milk...	0:29:20	0:29:24
-..when the milk tanker failed -to reach his Treto Uchaf Farm...	0:29:24	0:29:28
-..near Carmarthen over the new year.	0:29:28	0:29:30
-The tanker failed to arrive twice.	0:29:31	0:29:33
-We've had to throw that milk away.	0:29:33	0:29:36
-It's not a good feeling to see -the milk go down the slurry pit.	0:29:36	0:29:41
-Especially when, -like I heard yesterday...	0:29:42	0:29:45
-..farmers need to produce -more food cheaply.	0:29:45	0:29:48
-It doesn't make sense -to get rid of the milk.	0:29:48	0:29:51
-There should be a way these days -of taking the milk.	0:29:51	0:29:55
-Ffermio -is firmly rooted in rural Wales.	0:29:55	0:29:58
-But, sometimes, you have to travel -to follow a story.	0:29:58	0:30:02
-When Meat Promotion Wales -went to market Welsh lamb...	0:30:02	0:30:06
-..in the Middle East, -Mererid went too.	0:30:06	0:30:10
-Hello and welcome to Ffermio.	0:30:11	0:30:13
-I'm the other side of the world -in Dubai...	0:30:13	0:30:16
-..one of the most important -trade centres in the Middle East.	0:30:16	0:30:19
-It's also becoming -increasingly important to Wales.	0:30:20	0:30:23
-Dubai is one of the seven states...	0:30:24	0:30:27
-..that make up -the United Arab Emirates.	0:30:27	0:30:29
-They were created when Britain -withdrew from the Gulf in 1971.	0:30:30	0:30:34
-Its long, sandy beaches and -numerous shops are world renowned.	0:30:34	0:30:38
-Of its million inhabitants, -three quarters of them are expats.	0:30:38	0:30:43
-The Gulfood Exhibition...	0:30:51	0:30:53
-..is one of the world's most -important food and drink festivals.	0:30:53	0:30:57
-It's held every two years...	0:30:57	0:30:59
-..and offers the best access to -the Middle East's huge food market.	0:30:59	0:31:03
-With over 30,000 visitors -from 150 different countries...	0:31:04	0:31:08
-..this festival has huge potential.	0:31:08	0:31:10
-Over 2,200 companies -from 70 countries...	0:31:10	0:31:14
-..are exhibiting their produce -at this year's Gulfood.	0:31:14	0:31:18
-Many of the countries -are new to the festival...	0:31:18	0:31:21
-..each one wanting -to take advantage of the market.	0:31:22	0:31:25
-Wales has made sure -it doesn't miss out.	0:31:25	0:31:27
-Meat Promotion Wales -has already succeeded...	0:31:28	0:31:30
-..in introducing Welsh lamb -to this market...	0:31:30	0:31:33
-..and considers it -an important exhibition.	0:31:33	0:31:36
-We're lucky on Ffermio.	0:31:36	0:31:38
-We get to meet interesting -characters all year round...	0:31:38	0:31:42
-..as well as seeing -some beautiful scenery.	0:31:42	0:31:45
-In the next item, -there's a bit of both.	0:31:45	0:31:48
-It's four miles from Porth Meudwy -to the gully on Bardsey Island.	0:31:50	0:31:54
-Today, it's wilder than usual. -The wind is coming from the north.	0:31:55	0:31:59
-The sea's salty taste is good.	0:32:00	0:32:02
-There are eight people -living on the island.	0:32:08	0:32:11
-In the summer months, -Colin and Gareth are neighbours...	0:32:11	0:32:14
-..away from the world's problems.	0:32:15	0:32:18
-To a great degree, you are both -dependent on each other.	0:32:19	0:32:25
-You have to work together.	0:32:25	0:32:27
-It works very well.	0:32:28	0:32:29
-Everyone has to work together -in the countryside, to a degree.	0:32:29	0:32:34
-Maybe more so here...	0:32:34	0:32:35
-..since the sea impedes -the movement of people and machines.	0:32:36	0:32:40
-It makes things more complicated.	0:32:40	0:32:43
-You must both be a special breed -to live on the island.	0:32:44	0:32:50
-It helps -to have a good sense of humour!	0:32:51	0:32:54
-Both of us must have a sentiment -for the place. That must help.	0:32:56	0:33:02
-We have a desire to be here - -to be a part of the place.	0:33:02	0:33:07
-That helps the situation.	0:33:07	0:33:11
-We don't have to be here, -but we want to be here.	0:33:12	0:33:15
-One story that's remained -since Ffermio started...	0:33:26	0:33:30
-..is tuberculosis, TB.	0:33:30	0:33:31
-The disease -has spread in recent years...	0:33:32	0:33:34
-..especially -in some areas in the south...	0:33:34	0:33:37
-..which has led to the culling -of thousands of cattle...	0:33:37	0:33:41
-..and distress -for farmers and their families.	0:33:41	0:33:44
-But back in 2003, when Sulwyn -interviewed Carwyn Jones...	0:33:44	0:33:48
-..he believed the situation -could be dealt with fairly swiftly.	0:33:48	0:33:52
-The situation is frightening.	0:33:52	0:33:54
-There are 50 affected farms -in Powys...	0:33:54	0:33:57
-..not to mention Carmarthenshire, -Pembrokeshire and other areas.	0:33:57	0:34:01
-The way to deal with that...	0:34:01	0:34:03
-..is to arrange with SVS vets, -as we have done...	0:34:03	0:34:06
-..to ramp up on the testing.	0:34:07	0:34:09
-We hope this will be quashed -in a month or two.	0:34:09	0:34:14
-When Elin Jones took the reins -as Minister for Rural Affairs...	0:34:14	0:34:18
-..there was hope for farmers...	0:34:18	0:34:20
-..that there would be a badger cull -in some areas.	0:34:21	0:34:24
-Did it take you a year to choose -north Pembrokeshire as the site?	0:34:25	0:34:29
-It wasn't a shock -that this area was chosen.	0:34:29	0:34:31
-This wasn't the only decision -I had to make.	0:34:32	0:34:36
-The area, the method -and who would undertake the work...	0:34:36	0:34:41
-..were all decisions -I had to make.	0:34:41	0:34:45
-I'm sure -that many of your viewers...	0:34:45	0:34:48
-..think they could have made -those decisions sat on their sofas.	0:34:48	0:34:52
-A year is a long time.	0:34:52	0:34:54
-Yes, -but I had to commission research...	0:34:54	0:34:57
-..that gave me the scientific basis -to make a firm decision...	0:34:58	0:35:04
-..and the ability -to defend my decision...	0:35:04	0:35:07
-..in the face -of opposition in the Assembly...	0:35:08	0:35:11
-..and potentially in a court case.	0:35:11	0:35:14
-However, despite all the hope, -there was a change of government...	0:35:14	0:35:18
-..and with that, -another new minister.	0:35:19	0:35:21
-Elin Jones left and John Griffiths -was appointed to do her work.	0:35:21	0:35:27
-After a long consultation process...	0:35:30	0:35:32
-..the government has decided -not to continue the badger cull...	0:35:33	0:35:37
-..in the pilot area -in north Pembrokeshire.	0:35:37	0:35:40
-Instead, they'll embark on -a five-year vaccination programme...	0:35:41	0:35:44
-..to begin in the next few months.	0:35:45	0:35:47
-The legal obstacles -to the culling scheme...	0:35:47	0:35:50
-..were an important consideration -according to the minister.	0:35:50	0:35:53
-Those legal hurdles are still there.	0:35:54	0:35:56
-We've had the science review -which shows levels of uncertainty...	0:35:56	0:36:00
-..in terms -of any course of action.	0:36:00	0:36:03
-We have to balance against -the expected benefit of a cull...	0:36:03	0:36:07
-..the likely benefits -from badger vaccination.	0:36:07	0:36:11
-Despite all the discussion at the -Assembly, not much had changed...	0:36:11	0:36:15
-..when I visited Gethin Havard -in the Sennybridge are.	0:36:15	0:36:19
-The latest plans -by John Griffiths AM...	0:36:19	0:36:22
-..didn't fill him with much hope -for a quick solution.	0:36:22	0:36:26
-At the start of the year, -Gethin Havard and his family...	0:36:27	0:36:30
-..received news -that no farmer wants to hear.	0:36:31	0:36:33
-Eleven of their cattle -were infected with tuberculosis.	0:36:33	0:36:37
-Since then, the farm, -like many others across Wales...	0:36:37	0:36:40
-..has been banned -from selling and moving stock.	0:36:40	0:36:44
-It has been a very difficult -experience for them.	0:36:44	0:36:47
-If we can't eradicate this disease -in the coming months...	0:36:48	0:36:51
-..we may have to change -the system...	0:36:51	0:36:54
-..and go from selling suckler calves -to fattening cattle.	0:36:54	0:36:58
-We don't have the hay -or the buildings, so we can't do it.	0:36:58	0:37:01
-We might -have to get rid of all our cattle.	0:37:01	0:37:05
-That's what I worry about -more than anything.	0:37:05	0:37:08
-I hope the cattle don't disappear -before the disease does.	0:37:08	0:37:11
-That's quite a statement.	0:37:12	0:37:13
-That's quite a statement. - -Yes, it's very serious.	0:37:13	0:37:14
-We've heard all the stories.	0:37:15	0:37:17
-I have to say, our spirits -were raised a few years ago...	0:37:17	0:37:21
-..when Elin Jones announced...	0:37:21	0:37:23
-..that something would be done -about bovine TB...	0:37:23	0:37:26
-..and that badgers would be culled -in areas of West Wales.	0:37:27	0:37:30
-An announcement has recently -been made by John Griffiths AM...	0:37:31	0:37:35
-..about vaccinating badgers.	0:37:35	0:37:37
-Does that give you any hope -for the future?	0:37:38	0:37:40
-We're disappointed -but not surprised.	0:37:40	0:37:43
-This is the Labour Party, after all.	0:37:44	0:37:46
-We had some experience with them -during the Foot & Mouth outbreak.	0:37:47	0:37:51
-We're still -paying the price today...	0:37:51	0:37:54
-..for the way -they failed to respond then.	0:37:54	0:37:57
-It looks like the same thing -will happen with TB.	0:37:58	0:38:00
-Money is being spent -but we're not getting anywhere.	0:38:01	0:38:05
-Is that a confirmed reactor, Neil?	0:38:08	0:38:11
-It's close, it's only just, -but it is a reactor.	0:38:11	0:38:14
-She was clear the last time -and the time before that.	0:38:14	0:38:17
-They've been in the sheds -all winter...	0:38:18	0:38:20
-..so I don't know what's happened.	0:38:21	0:38:24
-There was a pattern.	0:38:24	0:38:25
-I could understand -exactly where it had come from.	0:38:25	0:38:28
-I'm not sure what's happened now. -This is terrible news.	0:38:29	0:38:32
-The bull is OK, thank goodness.	0:38:34	0:38:36
-The future -is very bleak at the moment.	0:38:37	0:38:39
-I hope someone in Cardiff -is re-evaluating the situation...	0:38:39	0:38:43
-..and realizing what's going on...	0:38:44	0:38:46
-..or there's no hope -for these young kids.	0:38:46	0:38:49
-I hope they never have -to put up with the nonsense...	0:38:49	0:38:53
-..that we're faced with, if they get -an opportunity to keep cattle.	0:38:54	0:38:58

-Despite being small, -they're quite a handful!	0:41:31	0:41:34

-Here's what happened...	0:41:58	0:42:00
-..when Alun went to search -for the farmer's best friend.	0:42:00	0:42:04
-The plain truth is, if your feet -are wet and cold on a farm...	0:42:05	0:42:11
-..life just isn't worth living.	0:42:11	0:42:15
-Wellingtons!	0:42:15	0:42:18
-You may have your own name for them, -but whatever it is...	0:42:18	0:42:23
-..these waterproof objects -are a farmer's best friend.	0:42:23	0:42:29
-A farmer puts on his wellies first, -then his pants!	0:42:49	0:42:53
-I've worn them for 60 years.	0:42:53	0:42:55
-Wellies are more important -than pants!	0:42:56	0:42:58
-It's the last Thursday of the month. -Llanybydder mart is buzzing.	0:43:11	0:43:15
-This place is full of horses -and colourful characters.	0:43:15	0:43:19
-All this is great material -for this gentleman.	0:43:19	0:43:24
-Are you drawing anything special?	0:43:35	0:43:37
-I've done quite a few.	0:43:38	0:43:40
-Some of these people are here now.	0:43:40	0:43:42
-It shows them -talking about their business.	0:43:43	0:43:46
-You can see them -discussing the horses.	0:43:46	0:43:48
-I used to come here as a child -with my father.	0:43:48	0:43:53
-I've come occasionally since then.	0:43:54	0:43:58
-I've been coming here -for sixty years.	0:43:58	0:44:00
-I've never seen any agricultural -machines in your drawings.	0:44:01	0:44:07
-You always draw people and animals.	0:44:07	0:44:10
-Yes, that's right.	0:44:10	0:44:12
-I wouldn't even cross the road -to look at a tractor.	0:44:12	0:44:16
-I'd be willing to walk a few miles -to look at a horse.	0:44:17	0:44:20
-Why are you so fond of horses?	0:44:21	0:44:24
-Because of the way -I was brought up on the farm.	0:44:24	0:44:28
-My father had a great interest -in horses.	0:44:28	0:44:30
-He liked Cobs and mountain ponies.	0:44:30	0:44:33
-It goes back a few generations.	0:44:33	0:44:36
-The dog and the horse -are my favourites.	0:44:37	0:44:41
-A working dog, that is.	0:44:41	0:44:43
-Yes, the dogs -in which I take most interest...	0:44:44	0:44:47
-..are those in sheepdog trials.	0:44:47	0:44:50
-I have many friends who have -specialized in sheepdog trials.	0:44:51	0:44:57
-You're in your element.	0:45:04	0:45:06
-Without a doubt. -It gives me great pleasure.	0:45:06	0:45:09
-Does drawing ever feel like a chore?	0:45:09	0:45:11
-Do you feel -that you have to paint every day?	0:45:12	0:45:15
-There's a phrase in English - -"the driving force".	0:45:16	0:45:21
-I can tell you -there is such a thing.	0:45:21	0:45:24
-It may sound odd...	0:45:24	0:45:25
-..but I almost feel guilty -if I go a day without drawing.	0:45:26	0:45:30
-It's not because I feel I'm making -a contribution to mankind.	0:45:31	0:45:35
-It's something I do for myself.	0:45:35	0:45:39
-I'd go as far as saying it's the -purpose of my existence these days.	0:45:39	0:45:44
-I used to go to fairs -to see the horses when I was young.	0:45:59	0:46:03
-We'd see a dozen different -characters at the fair.	0:46:03	0:46:07
-They were a picture -ready to be framed.	0:46:07	0:46:12
-There aren't many characters -around any more.	0:46:12	0:46:15
-Country people, -people of the land.	0:46:16	0:46:19
-They've grown from the land.	0:46:19	0:46:21
-Their posture makes you think -they've almost turned into trees.	0:46:21	0:46:25
-They've all grown in one place.	0:46:25	0:46:27
-We've celebrated -20 years of Ffermio.	0:46:30	0:46:33
