0:02:37 > 0:02:39- No more than ten years, I'd say.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47- ..who wants to build some capital...
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- ..and wants to move on to own a farm - or seek another opportunity.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- This opportunity - is a step on the ladder.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01- We're searching for people - we have - the land and the resources...
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- ..but to move things forward, - we need people to do it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:12- We're trying to give someone - an ambition or target to reach.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- That might help us find - a rather different person.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38- ..they're now ready to step back - from the daily routine on the farm.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- There were things we wanted to do - but we didn't have the time.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- It was always a case of I'll do it - next year or I'll do it tomorrow.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- We either cut back and do less...
0:03:52 > 0:03:58- ..or we get someone in - with energy...
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- ..to help push - the business forward...
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- ..and maybe take it - in a totally new direction.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- That's up to that person, - if we find a suitable person.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- The business has grown so much...
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- ..it's impossible - for one person to manage it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22- Both us will take a step back, - Hywel will lose two workers.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- How much did you discuss the - situation? It was a big decision.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Were you all agreed - on the way forward?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- We were agreed - about the way forward.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- It's not a decision we made hastily.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- We discussed it at length, - over two years.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- It's come to this point...
0:04:44 > 0:04:49- ..where we definitely want to work - less hours in the business.
0:04:49 > 0:04:56- You also took the decision - to pull Hywel into the business.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- That was a major step forward.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- It's something - that a lot of farmers forget to do.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- They leave the inheritance - to the son or daughter...
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- ..but don't pass on - the responsibility early enough.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- I'm not sure how long ago it was...
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- ..but we agreed on a value - for the business...
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- ..and we split it up - into three parts.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Hywel bought the business.
0:05:27 > 0:05:34- From there on, with his profit, - he's bought another farm since then.
0:05:36 > 0:05:41- The same could happen - with a non-family member.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- The relationship is the same - whether you're related nor not.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- The business comes first.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- We manage the Venture scheme.

0:06:17 > 0:06:24- The aim is to bring newcomers - and established farmers together...
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- ..when farmers - want to take a step back...
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- ..from the daily routine - of running a business.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- We help them establish - a joint venture...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- ..with the aim of seeing them - farm together.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Six people - have shown an interest so far.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- I'd encourage anyone who has - an interest to get in touch.
0:06:45 > 0:06:51- The opportunity at Pantswllt might - not be suitable for everyone...
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- ..but if anyone is interested - in the scheme...
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- ..whether they're looking for, - or offering, an opportunity...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- ..get in touch with us.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- The Venture scheme shows - that joint ventures...
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- ..is something - any farming business can consider.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- It offers something to everyone.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- It offers something to everyone.- - It's a courageous decision.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- We constantly hear of a lack - of opportunities for young farmers.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- This provides an opportunity...
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- ..but a new partner could have ideas - that would take the farm...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- ..in a different direction - to the one you're taking now.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- That's definitely as possibility...
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- ..but we're quite open - to the type of thing we want.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- We're not tied - to one way in particular.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30- My research involves - a variety of different subjects...
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- ..mostly bridging between - agriculture and the environment.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Many of the technologies - we've already looked at.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- Digestion is an obvious one.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- It is relevant to the treatment of - and management of livestock waste...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- ..and even animal waste - more broadly.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Have you seen both worlds, - environment and agriculture...
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- ..getting closer in recent times?
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- I think they'll be closer in - the future, for different reasons.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- We're leaving Europe, whether - you support or oppose that idea.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- That's likely to happen.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- We know that the payments, - and their structure, will change.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- I believe the payments will be - directed towards the environment...
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- ..if not entirely - towards the environment.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- I don't think farmers will receive - a payment just for owning land.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28- As a result of that...
0:18:28 > 0:18:33- ..agriculture and the environment - will become closer...
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- ..but it is inevitable - for it to happen.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Over the years, - a lot of farms have benefitted...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- ..from agri-environmental schemes.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- A lot of farmers will say it's - an important part of their income.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- I'm sure there's more room - for manoeuvre.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- It's never-ending, Prysor.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- It's never-ending, Prysor.- - Well, it won't take care of itself.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- We've had a good winter...
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- ..and we're trying to get - as much out of the land as we can.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- We're hoping the grass will start - to grow from the middle of March.
0:19:15 > 0:19:21- You're balancing well between - the agriculture on the farm...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- ..and the academic world.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- I don't know, there are times - when it's not so balanced...
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- ..and one takes precedent - over the other.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- I feel fortunate - to be doing two different jobs...
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- ..which are closely connected.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- Congratulations too on winning the - Eilir Hedd Morgan Memorial Prize.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43- What was it awarded for?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Someone nominated me - - I still don't know who...
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- ..for my work teaching the sciences - through the medium of Welsh.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56- I was good friends with Eilir, - we sang in the same singing group...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- ..and in the short time - he had in his job...
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- ..Eilir made a huge contribution - to the world of science in Welsh.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- He was a great researcher - and a fervent Welshman.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- His family introduced - a memorial prize in his name.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- I'm sure they'll be happy - that you won this year.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16- We'll see.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Pen y Fron isn't a large farm - these days.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- Most of the land - was sold off many years ago.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- There are numerous sheds here. - They used to milk cows here.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40- We've been rearing cows - - we have a herd of dairy heifers.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Up until a few years ago, - the demand had dropped...
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- ..with so many dairy farmers around.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Since then, - we've been buying store cattle.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- This year, - we've started buying ewes.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- We'll be keeping them empty - until September or October...
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- ..with the intention - of selling them on then.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Over the winter, - we take other people's cattle in.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- We have a lot of sheds - for the amount of land we have.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- We can keep a lot of stock - over the winter...
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- ..more than we can keep - over the summer.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- The cattle are in one shed but - there's one shed in Pen y Fron...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- ..which is used - for different events.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- This is a huge shed, Prysor.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- Yes, a huge shed. It took days, - if not weeks, for me to paint it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- It looks better now.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- What do you do with it? - Is it full of cattle or sheep?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Not during the winter.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- We use it to keep hay - and farm machinery.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51- From spring time onwards - all the way through until winter...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- ..we organise events.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59- We'll be organising much more but - we've already hosted quite a few.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- They've all been well received.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- You had your wedding reception here.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Yes, our wedding reception was here.
0:22:08 > 0:22:14- We were looking for venues and we - decided to host the reception here.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- We had a wonderful day.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- The sun shone in the middle - of some inclement weather.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- Prysor is a busy man - but his passion for work is obvious.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- I wear two hats in some ways.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- I can look at the agricultural - side with my work in Bangor...
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- ..and the other way around.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- It keeps my feet on the ground - in terms of research.
0:22:39 > 0:22:45- Communicating the message to farmers - is one of the best parts of the job.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- I can transfer the message - from the research world to farms...
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- ..but what's just as important - to me...
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- ..is taking the agricultural - perspective back to the researchers.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- There's been little debate between - the two sides over the years.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Now that I'm wearing both hats, - I'm in a very fortunate position.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- That's all for this week. - We're back next week.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- We'll be taking - a closer look at Brexit...
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- ..and its impact on upland farmers.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Until then, thanks for your company. - Cheerio.
