The Prime Minister, David Cameron, says he'd like to see more economic | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
He spoke to Wales Today, on the opening day of | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
But what does that mean for the countryside? | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Here's our Environment correspondent, Iolo ap Dafydd. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
The sunshine drew the crowds but already, | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
this year's show has more traders and livestock than ever before. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Today had more politicians as well, all stating that they support to | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
Today had more politicians as well, all stating their support to | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
strengthen the rural economy, including the Prime Minister. | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
It is an absolutely vital industry, we have 45,000 people employed | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
It's good that the Royal Welsh Show here has got more exhibitors, | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
I think there is some fundamental health in the Welsh rural economy | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
One of the things that we have done, allowing people to earn ?10,000 | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
before they pay any income tax, I think that is particularly helpful | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
to some of the smaller farmers, but we need to go on, keeping the | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
regulation down, making sure the industry works, and | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
helping in terms of getting people to buy Welsh food, British food. | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
A lot of farmers are not seeing this growth, they're not seeing how | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
the economy is improving in the towns and urban areas. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
They are saying in many parts of the country, that is just not happening. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
We have got to keep the economy growing, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
we had to help with specific approval issues like broadband, go | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
we had to help with specific rural issues like broadband, go | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
on cutting people's taxes, make sure we keep regulation down on farms. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
All of those things we can do, we are doing | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
With falling lamb and beef prices recently, many farmers will be even | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
more aware that 15% has been taken away from the Direct Farm Payment | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
On meat prices, they blame supermarkets selling | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
cheap imports, rather than promoting British lamb and beef. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
It is really annoying that Tesco's, 18 months ago, | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
and all the other supermarkets, said they would back British farming. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Welsh Lamb has taken a fall in price in the last two or three | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
weeks, which is acceptable, but you think that is the time to | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
What are they doing promoting New Zealand lamb? | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
The ?1 billion Rural Development Plan to promote | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
jobs and businesses is seen as vital to the future of rural communities. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
In the previous development plan, which ended last year, | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
schemes like Marketing Harness Trotting in Ceredigion received | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
An injection of cash to promote more jobs | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
There is a whole list of targets and one of them is employing | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
somebody, one of them is improving the gross value added, money coming | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
into the area, so that, to us as clubs, means more people the gate, | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
We need to get more people in, more tourists if you like, to come into | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
the area, which is then helping the area, the economics of the area. | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
The UK Government talks about less regulation | :03:13. | :03:13. | |
and cutting taxes to help rural areas, it is the Welsh government | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
that takes most decisions on the environment and agriculture here. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Many details of the RDP are yet to be finalised. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
The devil is in the detail of this one, and it is very | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
important that there are practical plans that enable farmers to make | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
good use and to evolve and develop a business in a way that is practical | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
The ?1 billion that is up for grabs is the biggest part | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
While the show keeps expanding, the hope is that of the rural | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
While the show keeps expanding, the hope is that other rural | :03:45. | :03:47. | |

figures come as investment in Wales from abroad is at its highest for 25 | :06:05. | :06:08. | |

based organisations to switch their online addresses to use dot cymru | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
and dot Wales, rather than dot UK. The Wales Federation of | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Young Farmers Clubs, Sport Wales and the Arts Council for Wales will | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
be among the first to change to the new addresses, when they become | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
available later this year. The Director of BBC Cymru Wales, | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Rhodri Talfan Davies, says there are some parts of Welsh | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
life which the corporation He was speaking | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
as the BBC's annual report shows that the number of people watching | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
BBC Wales programmes on BBC One But there's been a decline | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
in the number of English-language programmes made by the BBC, | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
about Wales, outside of news and current affairs, | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
in recent years. There are some areas | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
of our programming, take comedy, take drama, where there aren't | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
really enough programmes that I will make the case, alongside a | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
long line of directors making their cases, saying that if we want a true | :07:02. | :07:11. | |
national service for Wales, we need to think about how we can strengthen | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
the supply of programming. To the the Commonwealth Games now - | :07:15. | :07:18. | |

weeks have gone so fast. The training is going great and to | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
finally be here and to see this, it's something else. I have been | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
training years and months and now it is coming to the days, a week left | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
