0:00:25 > 0:00:27- ..for others to exhibit in shows.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- We sold the first calf - in the 2015 Winter Show.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- It fetched the highest price - that day.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40- A successful year - for one young farmer...
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- ..who believes strongly - that farming has a future.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49- Always take advantage of the - opportunities that you're given.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- There's no point saying, - "Oh, no, we can't do that."
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- If you say can't, there's no hope.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- December 2016.
0:01:05 > 0:01:11- Over three months ago, news broke - that the H5N8 strain of bird flu...
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- ..had been discovered in Europe, - in France and Germany.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- The Government's - veterinary department...
0:01:20 > 0:01:25- ..created flu prevention zones - with restrictions across Wales.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- More cases were discovered - in England and Wales.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- There is great danger when the - disease is carried by wild birds.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- The Welsh Government - asked all poultry owners...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- ..to keep their birds indoors...
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- ..to safeguard them from this - infectious strain of the disease.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- These restrictions - caused problems for many owners.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- It can affect the status - of the poultry's free range produce.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- On February 28, a new bird flu - prevention zone was announced...
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- ..which allowed owners - to keep their poultry indoors...
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- ..or give them controlled access - to outdoor areas.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- The current situation is we have - a new prevention zone in place...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- ..across the whole of Wales.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19- Everyone owning poultry - is required to consider the risk...
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- ..of those birds - becoming infected with avian flu...
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- ..to carry out a self-assessment - on the bio-security of their unit...
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- ..and to put measures in place - to keep their birds safe.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- Because of concerns - for the lamb and beef markets...
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- ..Llyr Jones, like many - Welsh farmers, has diversified.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- He keeps poultry - to sell free range eggs.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- We have strict - biosecurity measures in place.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Everyone is disinfected - before accessing the site...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- ..and entering the building.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- We supply everyone - with suitable clothing.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- The biosecurity measures - are strictly followed.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- The birds arrived - in the middle of January.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- The 12-week ban - doesn't affect us at the moment...
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- ..because the ban - came into force in December.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- The 12-week ban - doesn't affect me with free range.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- By April, - I hope the weather's improves...
0:03:26 > 0:03:32- ..and when the avian flu has gone, - I can get insurance for the hens...
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- ..which allows me to let them out.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- If we had avian flu now, - it would put me under.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Initially, the cost of the hens...
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- ..and then the cost - of cleaning the shed out.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- It would cost thousands - and it would put me out of business.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- Because of that, I won't let - them out until I have insurance.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- There are 16,000 here - at the moment.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05- We have plans to increase that - to 32,000 next year, hopefully.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- The hens are enclosed...
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- ..but they have - a natural environment for hens.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- There's an area - where they can scratch and fly...
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- ..and all this happens - in a controlled environment.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- We can make sure they stay safe - from avian flu...
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- ..and they can have - everything they need.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- On the other hand, - it's a natural environment...
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- ..where they can enjoy themselves.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- Since so many wild birds - are attracted to the wetlands...
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- ..free range egg producers - who live nearby...
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- ..are still worried about - leaving their poultry out or not.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- How does this affect Llyr?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- I have lakes - either side of the farm.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- They're owned by my neighbours.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- They run their own businesses - and I can't influence them.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- There's also the - 16,000-acre Clocaenog Forest nearby.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Birds are everywhere.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- It's too much of a risk - to leave them out at the moment.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- The flu prevention zone - will be in place until April 30.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- Wales has 339 - free range egg producers.
0:05:18 > 0:05:24- The threat is a cause for concern - with a danger of losing markets.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Anyone with a free range contract, - particularly for eggs...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- ..needs to talk - to their retailer customers...
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- ..to make sure they understand what - they require under the arrangements.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- As far as we understand...
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- ..once birds have been kept indoors - for 12 weeks...
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- ..they lose that free range status.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Some will have to keep their birds - indoors to meet our requirements.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Others may well be able - to let their birds outdoors...
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- ..under special protective measures.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Under those circumstances, it's - likely they can keep that status.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- It is a matter - for each poultry producer...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- ..to talk - to their retailer customer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- Some farmers will be - in franchise with others...
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- ..but I deal directly with Tesco.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- After discussions with Tesco...
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- ..they're placing a sticker - on cartons...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- ..saying, - "These hens may have gone out."
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Some people with insurance - can leave them out.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Some people like me, - without insurance, can't.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31- Tesco have been very fair - with their price structure.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- They've helped us out greatly.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- The English Government have noted - areas with a high risk of bird flu.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- Within those areas, - poultry must be kept indoors.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- What about producers who live on the - border between England and Wales?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- People living on the border who - keep poultry need to make sure...
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- ..they understand whether - they are in England or Wales.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- In Wales, they need to follow - Welsh Government requirements...
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- ..to complete - this bio-security self-assessment.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- I'm happy with what - the Assembly has done.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- It shows that they understand - the situation.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- It shows that they've taken - advice from farmers...
0:07:16 > 0:07:21- ..and it's a good decision - from my point of view.
0:07:21 > 0:07:27- Over the next month, I'm hoping - the avian flu will disappear.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- We can then get some insurance - and the hens can go outside.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36- I've spent money - on the range and the fences...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- ..so I need them to go out.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Next, we join Alun in Lampeter.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- Berwyn Hughes and his family - are rearing calves...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- ..to sell from the farmyard.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- These calves have the potential - to win red rosettes.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- The show season is over for now...
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- ..but that doesn't mean - you can't buy a calf...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- ..ready for the summer shows.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- One farm that specialises - in selling stock for shows...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- ..straight from the farmyard...
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- ..is Cwmhenrhyd Farm - in Lampeter, Ceredigion.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Berwyn Hughes - and his father, Aeron...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- ..farm 300 acres - of scattered land...
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- ..within three miles - of their home, Cwmhenrhyd.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- The family produce - high-quality beef cattle.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- They've been successful - in numerous shows.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Did you teach Berwyn - everything he knows?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- I've taught him a lot.
0:08:43 > 0:08:49- You can learn lots of new tricks - and I learn new things every day.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- I started showing - when I was 14 in 1969.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- I bought a heifer - in Llanybydder mart...
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- ..and everyone said, "What on earth - have you seen in that?"
0:09:01 > 0:09:07- The following year, she was - reserve champion in Lampeter Mart.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- That's when I caught the bug.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- That's when I caught the bug.- - Berwyn, I'll turn to you.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- You've been in the business - for years.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Have you changed the way - you're farming?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- I don't think we've changed a lot.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- We've tweaked some things - here and there.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30- Rearing calves - has always been my delight.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- It's not an easy job - or everyone would be doing it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Shows were your delight too.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- That's all come from my - father and grandfather before me.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- I target - seven or eight shows a year.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52- You can be proud that you've managed - to get the breeding right.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- What breeds do you keep here?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Limousin bulls mostly.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- There are some - British Blue bulls here.
0:10:01 > 0:10:07- We like crossing the Limousin with - the British Blue back and forth.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- If we have a British Blue cow, - we give her a Limousin bull.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- If we have a Limousin cow, - we give her a British Blue bull.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- That gives you a more uniform calf.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- Today, the business' focus has - shifted from rearing and showing...
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- ..to rearing calves and selling them - young for others to show.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Well, Berwyn, this one's quiet.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- It's pretty good on the whole, - fair play.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- It's only been tied up - about four times before.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- I think it's something to do - with your nature, as farmers.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- I've noticed that most of the cattle - on the farm are quiet.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- They're quite good.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- One of the advantages - of selling from the farm...
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- ..is that they see people - coming and going often.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12- When people are buying a calf, - they can see its mother and father.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Tell me more about this one.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Are you preparing this one - for something special?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- I sold this one two days ago.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- A lady came up from Bath to buy it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- It was quite a journey for her.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- It's been sold, it's been TB tested.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- She'll be picking the calf up - next weekend, on Saturday.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- You keep 140 suckler cows.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- How many calves turn out - to have the potential for showing?
0:11:44 > 0:11:50- We try and sell about - 30-40 calves every year.
0:11:50 > 0:11:56- You had to find a way to attract - attention to the new business.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- How did you do that?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Yes, to some extent.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- We sold the first calf - in the Winter Fair in 2015.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- It fetched the highest price - on that day.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- We entertained the ideas - of selling calves from the farm.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- It's different.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- When the calves are born, do you - instinctively know what will happen?
0:12:19 > 0:12:24- Will they be fattened as rearing - stock or will they be shown?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- We have a fairly good idea - when a calf is born...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- ..whether it has show potential.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- If the calf has two lumps of muscle - on its hips when it's born...
0:12:37 > 0:12:42- Right here. When the calf is born, - you look at this part.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- That's when you can see - if it has show potential.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- You search the pin bones - for these two muscles here...
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- ..on top of the plates.
0:12:53 > 0:13:00- If you can see them, the rest - of the muscles tend to fill out...
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- ..in the same way.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- In terms of the front end...
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- ..you want consistency - running through the body.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- You don't want too much depth...
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- ..you don't want them too heavy - at the front.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- You're looking for a smart animal.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21- Dad taught me as a youngster to - look at the animal like a matchbox.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- It's the same width - all the way down.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- The top and bottom line - needs to be the same.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35- Whatever the end product, quality - is the constant factor throughout.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- With three children following - in their father's footsteps...
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- ..there will be plenty of help - in the future.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- What are you plans for the future?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Will you continue to sell - from the farm?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- It's working out great for us - at the moment.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- We started out a year ago.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- We're fortunate that we have - seven or eight stock bulls.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- A lot of the bulls - are clicking at the moment.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- We've placed a lot of emphasis...
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- ..on the breeding - of the bulls and cattle.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- The breeding is more important - than the shape.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- There might come a time when the - boys will want to show the animals.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- Do you think you'll be back - on the showgrounds in the future?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- One day, down the line. - I won't stop them.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- If they choose that path, - I'll be with them all the way.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- I'll be helping them out.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- For someone like you, - seeing your father still going...
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- ..after some difficult times - in the past...
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- ..it should give you hope - for the future.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- I enjoy what I'm doing. - That's the most important part.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- It's a business and a hobby - at the same time.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- It's a way of life.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Join us after the break - as Meinir joins a young farmer...

0:17:08 > 0:17:11- A lot of young farmers - deserved that title.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- I'm just lucky - they chose me on the day.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- We're all the same really.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- How difficult was that competition?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- You had people - from across the country.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- There were farmers - from across England.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- It was quite a job - to understand them!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- And speak English.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- That was the most difficult part, - trying to translate.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- On a county level and Welsh level, - I spoke Welsh all the way.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- To try and translate it - into English was difficult.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- It went well - and I was lucky on the day.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- On top of everything, at the end - of the year, you won Fferm Ffactor.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- What was that like?
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- It was an incredible experience. - There were a number of young teams.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- Our team had members - who had different specialities.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- It was a good job.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- This isn't Aled's - first appearance on Ffermio.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- I visited him as a schoolboy - and as a student in Coleg Sir Gar.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- One thing is certain, he has - an old head on young shoulders.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- All his focus is on agriculture.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- Aled, there's a variety of breeds - in this shed.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- It's like a bit of a zoo.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- We mostly have Beulah and Cheviot.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- We give them a Bluefaced ram - and sell the mules up in Builth.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- That's a popular cross.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- That's a popular cross.- - Many farmers are doing it right now.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- A mule sheep, - from a Beulah or Cheviot...
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- ..she works hard and produces - two lambs most of the time.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- She lives longer too.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- You've seen a lot - during your lifetime...
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- ..even though you're still young.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- How much have you benefitted - from going to college?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Quite a lot - - more than just the practical side...
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- ..we learn about - the technical side of farming.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16- Making sure we have the right diets - and the different vaccines...
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- ..to avoid the need for treatment - after the event.
0:19:20 > 0:19:26- The new venture on the farm is - the poultry shed. How's that going?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- It's going well.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- What inspired you to build the shed?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- The family's always - been interested in poultry.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Hens have been part of Mam's life - since she was younger.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45- We all pulled together and spoke - to people in the poultry industry.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- That's how the interest developed.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- It's important to look at other - sources of income on the farm.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- In a few years' time, keeping sheep - might not be as profitable.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- You never know. You don't know - what's around the corner.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06- Having a variety of different stock - will always help.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- You're not putting all your eggs - in one basket!
0:20:10 > 0:20:11- Quite right.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- As a result of being in Gelli Aur...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- ..you had the chance - to travel to New Zealand.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- That was good. 50 of us - visited New Zealand last autumn.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- It was an eye opener.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29- We visited a different farm - every day for three weeks.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- We saw the ins and outs - of New Zealand in a nutshell.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- It's a different way - to look at things.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- You can't bring - what they have out there to Wales...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- ..but you can learn a lot from them.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- They can also learn from us.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52- Aled has also secured a scholarship - from Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol...
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- ..for an Agriculture degree - through the medium of Welsh...
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- ..in Coleg Sir Gar.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- The greatest pleasure for him is - working with his family on the farm.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15- Here, in Cwmcowddu, - you've made a lot of recent changes.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- How will you move the farm on - in the future?
0:21:18 > 0:21:23- My brother and I are trying to make - things as efficient as possible.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- At the end of the day, - however much land you have...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- ..you need to maximise every acre.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- We need to use the skills - we learn at college...
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- ..on the farm and try and produce - as much as we can from the land...
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- ..without needing to add - to the farm.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46- We must also ensure that we produce - what the market demands...
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- ..and not what Dad and Tad-cu - have always produced.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- I'm not saying what they did - is no good to us now...
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- ..but things move on and we - have to move with the times...
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- ..or we'll have to change a lot - at the same time.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Moving on, - we must keep our eyes open...
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- ..and not be too blinkered - with what's gone on in the past.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- Is there room for more technology - in Cwmcowddu?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- There's room - for new technology everywhere.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21- It will make farming more efficient. - Technology gives you precision.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Knowing how to use it properly - is the trick.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- At the end of the day, - this is a real family farm.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- We're all trying to do our best...
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- ..but Mam and Dad ultimately - keep everything going.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Everyone tries to do what they can.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- You've visited Europe - to see how agriculture works...
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- ..in the European Union.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- What's the most important aspect - you've learnt?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- The most important aspect - I've learnt...
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- ..is taking advantage - of the opportunities you're given.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- There's no point saying, - "Oh, no, we can't do that."
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- If you say can't, there's no hope.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- Keep your eyes open - who knows what - we'll face in five years' time...
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- ..especially with Brexit.
0:23:11 > 0:23:17- We must keep an open mind as we move - forward and challenge the future.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Aled Davies, - we'll be keeping our eye on him.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Good luck to him in the future.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- That's it from another episode - of Ffermio.
