-..they'll eventually move on -to buy land of their own? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |

-I'm not expecting someone to come -here and stay for the long term. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
-No more than ten years, I'd say. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
-As you say, -you're looking for someone... | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
-..who wants to build some capital... | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
-..and wants to move on to own a farm -or seek another opportunity. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
-This opportunity -is a step on the ladder. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-We're searching for people - we have -the land and the resources... | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
-..but to move things forward, -we need people to do it. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
-We're trying to give someone -an ambition or target to reach. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:12 | |
-That might help us find -a rather different person. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
-Arwel and Mary Davies -used to farm 55 acres... | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-..in Blaencerdin Fach, Ffostrasol... | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-..before moving to Pantswllt, -Arwel's home. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-It's a 120-acre farm. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
-After successfully -growing the business... | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
-..they're now ready to step back -from the daily routine on the farm. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
-There were things we wanted to do -but we didn't have the time. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
-It was always a case of I'll do it -next year or I'll do it tomorrow. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
-We either cut back and do less... | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
-..or we get someone in -with energy... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:58 | |
-..to help push -the business forward... | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
-..and maybe take it -in a totally new direction. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
-That's up to that person, -if we find a suitable person. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
-The business has grown so much... | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-..it's impossible -for one person to manage it. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
-Both us will take a step back, -Hywel will lose two workers. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
-How much did you discuss the -situation? It was a big decision. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
-Were you all agreed -on the way forward? | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
-We were agreed -about the way forward. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
-It's not a decision we made hastily. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
-We discussed it at length, -over two years. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
-It's come to this point... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
-..where we definitely want to work -less hours in the business. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
-You also took the decision -to pull Hywel into the business. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:56 | |
-That was a major step forward. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
-It's something -that a lot of farmers forget to do. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
-They leave the inheritance -to the son or daughter... | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
-..but don't pass on -the responsibility early enough. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-I'm not sure how long ago it was... | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
-..but we agreed on a value -for the business... | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
-..and we split it up -into three parts. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
-Hywel bought the business. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
-From there on, with his profit, -he's bought another farm since then. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:34 | |
-The same could happen -with a non-family member. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
-The relationship is the same -whether you're related nor not. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-The business comes first. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
-That's what sustains us all. Without -the business, no-one will benefit. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:53 | |
-Farming Connect -have a scheme called Venture... | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
-..with the aim of pairing farmers -with farm workers... | 0:05:57 | 0:06:02 | |
-..who want to develop a career -in the agriculture industry. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
-The Pantswllt family -contacted us directly. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
-We manage the Venture scheme. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
-In truth, -it's a match-making service. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
-The aim is to bring newcomers -and established farmers together... | 0:06:17 | 0:06:24 | |
-..when farmers -want to take a step back... | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
-..from the daily routine -of running a business. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
-We help them establish -a joint venture... | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
-..with the aim of seeing them -farm together. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-Six people -have shown an interest so far. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
-I'd encourage anyone who has -an interest to get in touch. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
-The opportunity at Pantswllt might -not be suitable for everyone... | 0:06:45 | 0:06:51 | |
-..but if anyone is interested -in the scheme... | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
-..whether they're looking for, -or offering, an opportunity... | 0:06:54 | 0:06:59 | |
-..get in touch with us. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
-The Venture scheme shows -that joint ventures... | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-..is something -any farming business can consider. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
-It offers something to everyone. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
-It offers something to everyone. - -It's a courageous decision. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-We constantly hear of a lack -of opportunities for young farmers. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
-This provides an opportunity... | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
-..but a new partner could have ideas -that would take the farm... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
-..in a different direction -to the one you're taking now. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
-That's definitely as possibility... | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
-..but we're quite open -to the type of thing we want. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
-We're not tied -to one way in particular. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-We're not saying -we can't work with someone. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
-I have an interest -in all kinds of systems... | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-..and profitable systems -more than anything. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
-As we face a future -outside the single market... | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
-..we must ask if there is a future -in rearing lambs like these. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |

-They're popular in Britain. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
-To secure a competitive price -for lamb in Britain... | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |

-..the shoulder and similar cuts. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-The value of the markets -that accept the different cuts... | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
-..means that our lamb -is more competitive at home... | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
-..and it also means we can -'balance the carcass'... | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
-..that's the term we tend to use. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |

-I used to live 30 miles away -at my home in Llandegla. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
-It was more of a change for you -than it was for me... | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
-..but it was quite an undertaking -to buy this farm. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
-It happened quickly. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
-Too quickly! | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
-I just thought, -well, let's give it a go... | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
-..and we'll worry about it again. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
-If things go wrong... -So far, things have gone well. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
-You don't look like the type -that worries about anything, Prysor. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
-I worry for him. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
-Elin's the worrier, -I'm more laid-back. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-They both come -from farming backgrounds. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
-The academic life -is also important to Prysor. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
-As a senior lecturer -in the university... | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
-..what do you do, -what's your speciality? | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
-I do a lot on the teaching side. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
-That's an important part -of any lecturing role. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
-I lead three different courses -in the university. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-The research side is an important -part of the work we do... | 0:17:05 | 0:17:10 | |
-..in Bangor University. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
-About half our time -is dedicated to research. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
-That's important -in terms of the learning... | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
-..combining research -with learning... | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
-..to let students hear about the -recent developments in their fields. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:26 | |
-My research involves -a variety of different subjects... | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
-..mostly bridging between -agriculture and the environment. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
-Many of the technologies -we've already looked at. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-Digestion is an obvious one. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
-It is relevant to the treatment of -and management of livestock waste... | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
-..and even animal waste -more broadly. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-Have you seen both worlds, -environment and agriculture... | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
-..getting closer in recent times? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
-I think they'll be closer in -the future, for different reasons. | 0:17:55 | 0:18:00 | |
-We're leaving Europe, whether -you support or oppose that idea. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
-That's likely to happen. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
-We know that the payments, -and their structure, will change. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:12 | |
-I believe the payments will be -directed towards the environment... | 0:18:12 | 0:18:17 | |
-..if not entirely -towards the environment. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
-I don't think farmers will receive -a payment just for owning land. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:26 | |
-As a result of that... | 0:18:27 | 0:18:28 | |
-..agriculture and the environment -will become closer... | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
-..but it is inevitable -for it to happen. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
-Over the years, -a lot of farms have benefitted... | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
-..from agri-environmental schemes. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
-A lot of farmers will say it's -an important part of their income. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
-I'm sure there's more room -for manoeuvre. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
-It's never-ending, Prysor. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
-It's never-ending, Prysor. - -Well, it won't take care of itself. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-We've had a good winter... | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
-..and we're trying to get -as much out of the land as we can. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
-We're hoping the grass will start -to grow from the middle of March. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:15 | |
-You're balancing well between -the agriculture on the farm... | 0:19:15 | 0:19:21 | |
-..and the academic world. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
-I don't know, there are times -when it's not so balanced... | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
-..and one takes precedent -over the other. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
-I feel fortunate -to be doing two different jobs... | 0:19:30 | 0:19:35 | |
-..which are closely connected. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
-Congratulations too on winning the -Eilir Hedd Morgan Memorial Prize. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
-What was it awarded for? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:43 | |
-Someone nominated me - -I still don't know who... | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
-..for my work teaching the sciences -through the medium of Welsh. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
-I was good friends with Eilir, -we sang in the same singing group... | 0:19:51 | 0:19:56 | |
-..and in the short time -he had in his job... | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
-..Eilir made a huge contribution -to the world of science in Welsh. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:04 | |
-He was a great researcher -and a fervent Welshman. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
-His family introduced -a memorial prize in his name. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
-I'm sure they'll be happy -that you won this year. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
-We'll see. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:16 | |
-Pen y Fron isn't a large farm -these days. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
-Most of the land -was sold off many years ago. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
-There are numerous sheds here. -They used to milk cows here. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:34 | |
-We've been rearing cows - -we have a herd of dairy heifers. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:40 | |
-Up until a few years ago, -the demand had dropped... | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
-..with so many dairy farmers around. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
-Since then, -we've been buying store cattle. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
-This year, -we've started buying ewes. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
-We'll be keeping them empty -until September or October... | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
-..with the intention -of selling them on then. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
-Over the winter, -we take other people's cattle in. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
-We have a lot of sheds -for the amount of land we have. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
-We can keep a lot of stock -over the winter... | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
-..more than we can keep -over the summer. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
-The cattle are in one shed but -there's one shed in Pen y Fron... | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
-..which is used -for different events. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
-This is a huge shed, Prysor. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
-Yes, a huge shed. It took days, -if not weeks, for me to paint it. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:34 | |
-It looks better now. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
-What do you do with it? -Is it full of cattle or sheep? | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
-Not during the winter. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
-We use it to keep hay -and farm machinery. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
-From spring time onwards -all the way through until winter... | 0:21:46 | 0:21:51 | |
-..we organise events. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
-We'll be organising much more but -we've already hosted quite a few. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:59 | |
-They've all been well received. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
-You had your wedding reception here. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-Yes, our wedding reception was here. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
-We were looking for venues and we -decided to host the reception here. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:14 | |
-We had a wonderful day. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-The sun shone in the middle -of some inclement weather. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
-Prysor is a busy man -but his passion for work is obvious. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
-I wear two hats in some ways. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
-I can look at the agricultural -side with my work in Bangor... | 0:22:28 | 0:22:33 | |
-..and the other way around. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
-It keeps my feet on the ground -in terms of research. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
-Communicating the message to farmers -is one of the best parts of the job. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:45 | |
-I can transfer the message -from the research world to farms... | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
-..but what's just as important -to me... | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
-..is taking the agricultural -perspective back to the researchers. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
-There's been little debate between -the two sides over the years. | 0:22:56 | 0:23:00 | |
-Now that I'm wearing both hats, -I'm in a very fortunate position. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
-That's all for this week. -We're back next week. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
-We'll be taking -a closer look at Brexit... | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
-..and its impact on upland farmers. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
-Until then, thanks for your company. -Cheerio. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
