0:00:06 > 0:00:09- The General Election - takes place next week...
0:00:09 > 0:00:13- ..with Brexit, of course, - a prominent focus.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17- Have you decided - for whom you're going to vote yet?
0:00:17 > 0:00:22- Later we'll furnish you with facts - that may help you decide.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37- Tonight, journalist Tweli Griffiths - analyses the manifestos.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- I'll also visit Llanelwedd - to witness the competitions...
0:00:41 > 0:00:45- ..and the launch of Menter Moch - Cymru with chef Bryn Williams.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- After a hard day's work...
0:00:54 > 0:00:56- ..everyone expects to get paid.
0:00:56 > 0:01:02- But Daloni met some dissatisfied - Merionethshire farmers...
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- ..who've still not received - their Glastir payments.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- Glastir is the multifaceted - sustainable land management scheme.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- It offers financial support - to farmers and land managers.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- In Merionethshire, many farmers - have joined the schemes...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- ..though some - have yet to receive payment.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Here at Castell Hen Farm - in Parc near Bala...
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- ..Euros Puw - has completed his Glastir work.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Unlike last year, - his cheque is late.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- We're committed - to keeping less stock.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- We must control sheep numbers - on the mountain...
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- ..and we're restricted to how much - pasture we allow to grow...
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- ..and not to grow.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- The system has become complicated.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Because we adhere - to these restrictions....
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- ..we receive compensation - from the Welsh Government.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- When do you - usually receive Glastir payments?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- We received payment - on 1 December the first year.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20- During the second year, half - on 1 December and the rest in April.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- This year...
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- ..I haven't received a single penny.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- How reliant are you on this payment?
0:02:29 > 0:02:35- The Glastir payment - is a reliable source of income.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- If the price - of small mountain lambs is low...
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- ..as it was last year...
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- ..knowing a payment is due tides - us over during the lean period.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Are you meant to receive payment - within a certain time?
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- There's no stipulation - in the agreement as it stands.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- That could be seen - as a flaw in the contract...
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- ..but I would've thought that - because it's a voluntary scheme...
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- ..the Government would pay out - within a reasonable timeframe...
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- ..as they expect - farmers' co-operation.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14- Have you complained?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Have you complained?- - I've complained three times...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- ..within the past three months...
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- ..and only one of my emails - has received a reply.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- What reason have they given - for the late payment?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- No reason has been given.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- No reason has been given.- - Nothing?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Nothing whatsoever.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- They said - they were processing the payment.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- That was the only response - given in the email.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Half an hour away, - the same is true at Fferm Faner...
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- ..in Llanelltyd near Dolgellau...
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- ..where - Geraint Rowlands farms the land.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57- Why is this payment late?
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Why is this payment late?- - I don't know, that's the problem.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- It's a sheer lack of communication. - We're kept in the dark.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10- Last year's payment was late. - I received it in early April.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- This year, we're nearing - the end of May, seven weeks later.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- We're not told why.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22- All they say is that they don't have - a window in which to issue payment.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- That's the biggest problem.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- They don't tell us anything.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- As a business, you have bills to pay - and you have to carry on.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Of course, and these payments - are made in spring...
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- ..when, traditionally, - on stock farms...
0:04:39 > 0:04:45- ..the bills for feed over winter, - spring fertiliser as well as rent...
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- ..are usually paid in the spring.
0:04:48 > 0:04:54- It's a time when, traditionally, - farm budgets are at their tightest.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- You have to pay your bills, - of course...
0:04:57 > 0:05:02- ..but the Assembly and Government - are forever telling farmers...
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- ..that we must - treat our farms as businesses...
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- ..but that has to work both ways.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- They can't expect us - to operate as businesses.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- No private business can carry on - functioning without getting paid.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- That's the problem. They're not - keeping their side of the bargain.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- We can't run a business without - knowing when we'll receive...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- ..a high percentage - of our farms' incomes.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- They're asking too much of us.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- We asked the Government - for a response...
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- ..and they issued this statement.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- "We give priority to - Basic Payment Scheme applications...
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- "..as the value and number of farms - receiving payments is substantial.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55- "More than 99% of farm businesses - have been paid by now.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- "Rural Payments Wales - is currently focusing...
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- "..on processing all Glastir - applications that haven't been paid.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- "Rural Payments Wales is - working hard to pay every claim...
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- "..apart from the most complicated - during the coming weeks."
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- Numerous complaints have been made - and the situation is unacceptable.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- I feel that farmers have been - more than patient with this matter.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- We were promised back in January...
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- ..that payments would be made - by the end of the month...
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- ..but it dragged on until April.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- We're now nearing the end of May...
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- ..with a high percentage of farmers - in Merionethshire...
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- ..and elsewhere in Wales - still awaiting payment.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Isn't there a basic flaw here?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- When Glastir was established...
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- ..shouldn't someone have ensured - that there was a window?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- That there was a clause stating - that payment would be made...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- ..within a timeframe?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- As an union, - are you at fault for not ensuring...
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- ..there was a specific window - when Glastir was rolled out?
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- It's reasonable to expect - payments such as these to be made...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- ..within a reasonable timeframe...
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- ..and within a year - of the scheme's remit.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- The current situation - applies to the 2016 scheme.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Farmers have - kept their side of the agreement.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32- Their businesses - have been affected financially...
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- ..because - they've adhered to the scheme...
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- ..by decreasing stock and managing - the land in a specified way.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- It's only right they're compensated.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Waiting this long for payment - is unreasonable.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- This isn't a new scheme.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54- The Rural Payments office - knows what the agreement involves.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- People have lost confidence in - future agri-environmental schemes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- A lack of faith exists...
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- ..which doesn't bode well - for the future.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- With the General Election looming...
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- ..let's find out what the parties - are pledging for the countryside.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Journalist Tweli Griffiths - trawls through the manifestos.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Wellingtons - - rain shoes and mud boots.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- The farmer's friends, - keeping feet dry and comfortable.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- As long - as there are no holes in them.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- You could say the same for the - pledges of the political parties.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- But before we take a look - at what the parties...
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- ..are promising - the agricultural world...
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- ..let's consider what the farming - world is asking for from them.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- We'll discover if there are holes - in their policies.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Both the FUW and the NFU...
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- ..have published - their own manifestos.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Brexit is at the top of the agenda.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- One major concern - in both documents...
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- ..is the fear of losing the biggest - market for our produce - Europe.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- Both unions believe...
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- ..that any new agreement - with the European Union...
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- ..should ensure - that custom-free trade continues...
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- ..with no tariffs.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Though there's room - to source markets beyond Europe...
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- ..it's feared that could mean - importing cheap, inferior food...
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- ..from overseas.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- That's the unions' stance on Brexit - but what about the parties?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- We'll begin with Labour.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Labour would secure...
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- .."continued EU market access"...
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- ..still allowing farmers to sell - their produce on the Continent.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- "Brexit shouldn't be used as - an excuse to undercut our farmers...
0:10:08 > 0:10:14- "..and flood Britain's food chain - with cheap and inferior produce."
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- In terms of money, - "reconfigure funds...
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- "..to support smaller traders and - local communities and economies."
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- There are no details - as to what exactly that means.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- Plaid Cymru warns - that 200,000 of our jobs in Wales...
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- ..relies on European trade - and that there's a danger...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- ..that cheap food - will flood in from overseas.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Plaid insists - that the British Government...
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- .."must seek the support - of all the UK's nations....
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- "..before reaching - a new trade agreement."
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- It also warns that farmers - will lose European grants...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- ..which account - for 80% of their income.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- The party will battle to secure that - "every penny lost from Europe...
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- "..will be replaced - from Westminster."
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- The Liberal Democrats - share the same concerns.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Central to their manifesto...
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- ..is "retaining access - to the European Single Market...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- .."and holding - another referendum on Brexit"...
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- ..in which - they'd campaign to remain.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- In terms of subsidies, they pledge - to continue reforming them.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- "Less emphasis - on direct subsidies...
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- "..and more support - for countryside protection...
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- "..flood prevention, climate change - mitigation and food production."
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Next, the Green Party...
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- ..which pushes to - "remain in the Single Market."
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- But only one sentence in their - main manifesto refers to farming.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- The Greens would introduce - an "Environmental Protection Act"...
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- ..that would, among other things...
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- .."promote - sustainable food and farming."
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- UKIP insists on a hard Brexit.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- That includes "leaving the - Single Market and EU customs union."
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Grants from Brussels - would be available...
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- ..under - an UKIP Government in Britain.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18- They'd roll out a new Single Payment - that's fairer for smaller farms.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- However, a "cap of 120,000 - would be introduced on subsidies."
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- For the Conservatives...
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- ..Brexit means we will no longer be - part of the European Single Market.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- But they will seek - "a deep and special partnership...
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- "..including a comprehensive - free trade and customs agreement."
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- They will also create - new trade partnerships...
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- .."with countries beyond Europe."
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- They pledge "the same financial - support for farmers until 2022...
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- "..and then they'll devise - a new agri-environment system"...
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- ..at the Senedd - following the next election.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- Focus is given to other agricultural - matters in the manifestos...
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- ..from improving food labelling - and safeguarding animal welfare...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- ..to controlling fuel prices.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- There's one other thing - which poses a threat...
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- ..to the international trade - we've been discussing.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- The greatest threat - to dairy and beef farmers...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- ..are those two words, bovine TB.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34- But only three of the parties - refer to it in their manifestos.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Whilst both unions believe...
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- ..that DEFRA's policy - to cull badgers...
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- ..should continue in England...
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- ..Labour believes in halting - the cull, which it claims...
0:13:49 > 0:13:50- ..spreads TB.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- The Liberal Democrats are in favour - of more compassionate ways...
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- ..of controlling the disease, - including more vaccine research.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- UKIP wants to adopt - a new attitude to the problem...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- ..based on the advice - issued by vets and the unions.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12- Who'd give the agricultural world - the strongest voice in Westminster?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Is one colour welly - better than the others?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- That's up to you to decide.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24- But remember one thing - out of the - 650 MPs in the House of Commons...
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- ..only one in six, - a little over 100 of them...
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- ..represent rural constituencies.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- It's important - they understand the challenges...
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- ..facing the agricultural world.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Ask your representatives - about their policies...
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- ..in case - there are holes in a few wellies.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- And don't forget to vote!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- That's it for Part 1.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Join us after the break when I'll be - at Llanelwedd's Spring Festival.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09- He kept them in Carno and Dad - brought them to North Wales.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- They're multi purpose, in a way.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- I have to ask, how do you - get the wool to look so good?

0:17:36 > 0:17:38- This is good news...
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- ..since a new enterprise is being - launched to develop the sector.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Menter Moch Cymru.
0:17:45 > 0:17:51- Menter Moch Cymru aims to double the - pig herds here in Wales, if we can.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- We're working with - every aspect of the supply chain.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- It's a golden opportunity.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- The industry is worth some 217m...
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- ..but we're currently only supplying - 5% of that in Wales.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- There's potential - to greatly develop the industry.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- What's the biggest problem - in terms of pig numbers?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Historically there have been - problems with pricing.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- We're not maintaining the practice - and we've lost our husbandry skills.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- Abattoirs are growing scarce and the - veterinary skills are diminishing.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- It's important there's - enough of an industry to develop.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- Renowned chef Bryn Williams prepared - delicious meals at the launch...
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- ..to demonstrate - the versatility of Welsh pork.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- A quality bacon butty - is the best thing in the world.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- At the restaurant, we use every - part, from the nose to the tail.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- It's so versatile. - That's why we serve so much pork.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- It's versatile, it's tasty - and you can make various dishes...
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- ..from breakfast until supper.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Pig numbers in Wales are dwindling. - Is it difficult to acquire meat?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- I'm lucky. I get my supply - from Glyn Williams in Denbigh.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- He slaughters pigs himself.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- He farms pigs and I know - I'm getting Welsh pigs from him.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- But we're importing - more than we produce...
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- ..which shows there's - an untapped market in Wales...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- ..so farmers - need to breed more pigs.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- The most important thing - in a restaurant is the produce.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40- From pork and beef - to eggs, milk and cream.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- That's why - I always use Welsh produce.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- I know it's going to taste nice - and I'm helping Welsh farmers.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- Without them, - we'd have no quality produce.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- They're the stars of the food chain. - I can't do my job without them.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- Do pig breeders like Ela and Huw - Roberts of the Oinc Oink company...
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- ..feel that there's been sufficient - pig promotion in the past?
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- No, definitely not. The money - hasn't been available to promote it.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- They've since secured - financial backing...
0:20:18 > 0:20:23- ..so hopefully they'll be able to - promote the quality of Welsh pork.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- The Oinc Oink company...
0:20:27 > 0:20:32- ..has been very busy promoting pigs - in general and your herd, of course.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37- We thought the only way we'd - be successful selling our pigs...
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- ..was by selling them ourselves - and establishing our own brand.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- We've worked hard - developing Oinc Oink.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- We've turned it into a success.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Today's been - another successful show for you.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- It's been - a very good day for us today.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Six first prizes - in the Welsh pig section...
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- ..Reserve Champion - and Supreme Champion.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- We also won the pair and the group. - We couldn't have asked for more!
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Back with the sheep, - and the native breeds...
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- ..are generally very popular - with smallholders and children.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- Mathew Brown is a smallholder - from Carmarthenshire.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- This family - is having a ball here today.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- What is it about the festival - that's so appealing?
0:21:33 > 0:21:38- I'd say it's spending the weekend - with the family after lambing.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- It's something to look forward to - despite all the preparation.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- You try to spot - something special in a lamb...
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- ..and hope the markings are good.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53- You then feed them up and preen them - in time for this festival.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- This isn't a festival - solely for smallholders.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- No. Anyone can compete here.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- It's a chance - for the young ones to compete too.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- It's a stepping stone, in a way.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Where did your interest - in keeping Torwen sheep stem from?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- I came here about six years ago - and fancied the breed...
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- ..so Mam-gu and Tad-cu - bought us six for Christmas.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- You have many more now.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Yes, we enjoy exhibiting them.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- What do you like about the Torwens?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- I like going in the ring - and exhibiting them, mostly.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- It's a unique feeling - being in the ring. How do you feel?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- You feel a bit nervous...
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- ..but when you sense - that the judge likes something...
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- ..you feel - more of a part of it then.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- And Mam, how have the girls - developed from exhibiting?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- They've gained - so much more confidence.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57- They've also had to learn to win and - lose. That's very important in life.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- It also teaches them - how to prepare the animals.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- I began preparing them - under my father's supervision.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- He'd often shout and ball!
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- But it's been a big help - in developing their characters.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16- The younger generation - is the show's future.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33- That's all for this week. We'll be - back at the same time next week.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Until then, - thank you for your company.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- Goodbye.
