THE Christmas countdown is

on for Pembrokeshires
traditional farmhouse poultry
producers.
At Upper Haythog Farm,
Spittal, the Scale family has
been producing awardwinning festive turkeys for 60
years.
Ron and Mary Scale started
the enterprise with 300 birds
and it is their grandson,
Robert, who is now in charge.
Together with his parents,
Peter and Sue, he rears
3,000 turkeys for sale at the
farmgate and to butchers as
far afield as Cardiff.
Although supermarket
promotions have hit sales of
farm fresh turkeys nationally,
Upper Haythog Farm has a
strong and loyal customer
base.
WELSH woman farmer of

the year, Eleri Lloyd, talks
about her surprise at
winning the top award, her
battle against breast
cancer, and how she is
happiest when she is
working on the farm.

A YOUNG Pembrokeshire
livestock farmer whose vision for the future of a poultry and horticulture unit
included installing an anaerobic digester to process
chicken manure has won a

major award.
Twenty-two-year-old Carwyn James was given the challenge as a member of the
Farming Connect Business
and Innovation Programme.
Its 12 members were tasked
with drawing up a five-year
action plan for Roger and

Jane Hughes, who farm 360
acres at Trefeglwys near
Caersws.
Carwyns proposal included incorporating an anaerobic digester powered by the
Hughes chicken manure
and arable crops and gener-
ating power to support an

all-year-round
glasshouse
enterprise.
The Hughes family may
now instigate the idea. Carwyn was presented with his
prize at the Royal Welsh Winter Fair by Andrew Slade,
the Welsh Governments Di-
rector of Agriculture, said

the programme had raised
his expectations of what he
could do on his own farm.
He said on the future: I
know I will be making better
informed, more confident decisions for our family business longer term.

Joy ready to meet

new challenges
By Farmer reporter
THE new chairman of the elite

farming think tank Future Farmers of Wales is Joy Smith, a dairy
farmer from mid Pembrokeshire.
Joy runs a 200 cow dairy unit in
partnership with her mother and
brother.
She is married to Michael, also a
dairy farmer, and they have a young
son, William.
Future Farmers of Wales is a nonpolitical body of young farmers set
up in 1988 and acts as a lobbying
body answerable to its members,
ready to meet the challenge of farming in the future.
It meets regularly, has regular
meetings with Welsh Government
and has achieved recognition by the
Unions of Wales, Welsh Assembly
Government, the WDA and educational organisations in England and
Wales.
Joy has a degree in Agriculture
with Business Studies from Aberystwyth University.
Following her time at university,
she worked on dairy farms and travelled throughout New Zealand and
Australia.
NEW TEAM: Chairman Joy Smith (from left), president Professor E. Wynne
Jones and secretary, Nerys Llewelyn Jones.
She is a past member, chairman
and treasurer of Llysyfran YFC and
is currently an active club leader.
During 2012/13 she was chairman
of the North Pembrokeshire Grassland society, and remains an active
member on the executive committee. Joy said she is honoured to

take on the role of Future Farmers
of Wales chairman, following in
the footsteps of some very capable
farming contemporaries.

Puffin boxes clever in 2m expansion Dairy
chairman is
A 2MILLION expansion project by Pembrokeshire based

Puffin Produce Ltd is proving not just good for the local
economy but the environment too.
The Welsh farmer owned
potato-growing business is
adding a new cold storage
facility to its headquarters
near Haverfordwest and is
using local expertise and materials to help it achieve its
business targets.
Puffin Produce currently
packs around 35,000 tonnes
of potatoes a year both for supermarkets and its own Blas
Y Tir brand, and the new facility will help meet growing
customer demand.
Covering 35,000 sq.ft. the
high-tech temperature con-
trolled units can each store

up to 1,400 boxes, and are currently being filled with potatoes for use over the winter
and next spring.
The addition of the five
new units has added a further 7,500 tonnes to our storage capability, said James
Smith, Puffins commercial
manager.
Therefore we need to buy
more potato boxes, and we
are delighted that we have
been able to use a local manufacturer who is not only
based just a few miles away
but sources the wood locally.
The first consignment of
boxes from James Davies
Sawmills Ltd have already
been filled, and when complete will total some 3,100 spe-
cially crafted potato boxes at

a cost of over 225,000.
The wooden boxes, which
are capable of holding up
to 1.1 tonne of potatoes are
made to stringent British
Standards (BS7611) which ensure they are capable of being safely stacked eight high
in the storage units.
Family-run James Davies
Sawmills is manufacturing
the boxes at Eglwyswrw near
its state-of-the-art 4m sawmill in Cenarth. The boxes
are then delivered to Puffin by local haulier AJ Carrington & Sons Ltd.
This latest phase of development by Puffin has been
assisted by the Welsh Governments Processing and
Marketing Grant scheme.

Study shows the

need to help soil
A RETIRED Carmarthenshire
smallholder says flash flooding
could be averted if farmers were
given support to aerate parts of
their land annually.
Following last years flooding,
John Davies undertook a study
to examine the capacity of soils
to hold moisture.
Mr Davies, who lives in Whitland, collected samples of turf
from six local farms, which
ranged in altitude from a few feet
above sea level to 1800ft.
He applied the same conditions
to these samples as that experienced by farmland during the
previous wet winter period. On
two applications they were given
the equivalent of one inch of
rain.
We placed the turves on a
slight average slope and measured the water that ran off the
top, also the amount that penetrated down through to the
subsoil or the rock, Mr Davies
explained. By subtracting the
sum total of these two we had
the amount that the turves or
soil was capable of absorbing, if
only for a short period of a few
days.
He described the results as an
eye-opener. In one sample, taken from an intensive dairy farm,
the equivalent of only 10 tonnes
We certainly cannot afford

to let the poor condition
our soils are in today
deteriorate much more...
By Debbie James
of water was absorbed by the top

six inches compared to 40 tonnes
of run-off. It was a similar result
from other samples, although
one sample, taken from an organic smallholding, absorbed 40
tonnes. Another, from a mixed
beef and sheep farm, soaked up
38.5 tonnes.
Mr Davies then examined the
humus content and found that
it was very low in each sample,
although the samples that absorbed 40 and 38.5 tonnes had the
best levels of humus. These samples, he said, remained friable
under test conditions.
Mr Davies, who described the
capability of soils to hold moisture as the most essential part of
rich and productive farm soils,
expressed concern at the lack of
blotting paper-like ability for
farmland to absorb water and
delay the run-off of heavy rain.
Although these samples all

showed a very poor amount of
humus, which is the essential
material that holds water, our
local rivers here in South Wales
just about managed to cope with
the equally excessive amount of
rain we experienced in this area
during the same winter period
of early 2014, he said.
We certainly cannot afford to
let the poor conditions our soils
are in today to deteriorate much
more.
I believe if farmers could be
helped to afford the time and the
expense of aerating one third of
their land each year, this would
alleviate the flash flooding considerably. They would also realise very soon that this would
greatly benefit their crops as
well.
Mr Davies has submitted the
evidence he gathered during his
trial work to his MP, who has forwarded it to DEFRA.

Sheep on up but beef

is cause for concern
By Farmer reporter
People logging on to ewemanage-IT.org.uk will have an opportunity to be one of 1,500

sheep farmers in Wales to receive 500 for participating.
THE number of sheep and

dairy cattle in Wales continues to rise while the beef
herd has declined, according
to new figures that have just
been released.
The June Survey for Wales
shows the total number of
sheep and lambs stood at 9.74
million, a three per cent rise
on last years levels.
This represents the fifth
consecutive annual rise in
the number of sheep and
lambs in Wales, and is the
highest recorded number
since 2003.
The main contributing factor to this increase was a 10
per cent rise in the number
of breeding ewes to 4.4 million, the largest breeding
flock recorded in Wales for
a decade. The number of
lambs under one year of age
stood at 4.8 million in June.
Over the last 10 years we
have seen an increase in
lambing percentages and
rearing rates, and the figures
highlight this, said Charlotte Morris, industry information officer with Hybu
Cig Cymru Meat Promotion
Wales.
Taking the figures at face
value it is expected the increase in ewes should result
in a bigger lamb crop for the
2015/2016 season.
This, however, will depend on the conditions experienced over the coming
months, said Miss Morris.
The survey, conducted by
the Welsh Government, also
showed that the total number
of cattle and calves in Wales
was 1.1 million representing
an increase of one per cent
on the survey conducted last
year.
But the increase in the
dairy herd was offset by a
decline in the beef herd, with
the number of beef cattle
over two years of age falling by three pre cent and the
number of female beef cattle
between the age of one and
two years also falling by 6.4
per cent.

The industry needs to find ways of coping with market volatility
Price cuts dominate talks

By Farmer reporter
PEMBROKESHIRE
dairy
farmers voiced their concerns regarding severe farmgate milk price cuts during
a well-attended Pembrokeshire NFU Cymru on-farm
meeting recently.
Speaking at the meeting,
which was held at Little Hasguard Farm, Hasguard Cross
courtesy of the Richards
family, NFU Cymru Milk
Board Chairman, Aled Jones
said: Theres no doubt that
we as dairy farmers are likely to have to contend with the
rollercoaster ride of increasingly volatile prices which
are currently squeezing our
margins hard.
We will need to put plans
in place to cope with increased volatility.
Its more important than
ever for dairy farmers to
talk to their processors to see
how we can better align any
increases in our supply with
their demand.
Equally we need to see the
processors investing in areas
that can deliver added value

to their businesses.
We also need processors
and retailers to ensure fairness across the whole of the
supply chain and to establish
dedicated supply pools and
transparent pricing mechanisms that deliver fair and
sustainable prices for the
milk that we work so hard to
produce.
The union is also looking
at how futures markets could
be utilised to dampen out
some of this volatility.
Mr Jones ended saying that
the picture is not altogether
bleak with continued growth
in the global population and
the demand for dairy products growing gradually, particularly within the growing
economies of China and other parts of South-East Asia.
He said: There is still
much for us to be positive
about as dairy farmers as
the long-term prospects are
good, however it wont be an
easy ride and we will need to
get through this difficult period before we see a brighter
future for our industry.

Backward step for science

THE presidents of the four
NFU farming unions have
criticised the decision by the
European Commission to
scrap the post of Chief Scientific Adviser to the President.
Professor Anne Glover, who
has been in post since 2011,
confirmed last month that
she would be leaving the post
at the end of January and
that the position would then
cease to exist.
Speaking on behalf of Nigel Miller, President NFU
Scotland, Ian Marshall, President of the Ulster Farmers

Union and Stephen James,
President of NFU Cymru,
the NFU President Meurig
Raymond (pictured) said:
We welcomed the appointment of Professor Glover as
we firmly believe that strong
and independent science
should be at the centre of
policy-making in the EU.
It is deeply troubling that
the new European Commission has taken this deci-
sion. This appears to be a

backward step for science.
At a time when we need to
address serious concerns
around food security, energy
security and the collective
EU response to the threat of
climate change; it is deeply
concerning.
Professor
Glover
has
championed the importance
of science and innovation in
the EU. We now seek assurances as to how the role she
played will be continued.

SUCCESS: Pedigree Hampshire Down sheep breeder
Eirlys Jones, of Wolfscastle.
Bit of kit
big help
at farm
By Farmer reporter
PEDIGREE
Hampshire
Down sheep breeder Eirlys
Jones requires a strong
will and a strong bit of kit
to help her manage the dayto-day husbandry tasks required on the familys Wolfscastle farm.
It was Eirlys father who
suggested she take up sheep
in 1995 to provide her with
a life interest having suffered a severe illness that
had substantially reduced
her body weight. Starting
out with just seven ewes the
Hampshire Down breed was
chosen against other breeds
as Eirlys believed the breed
was best suited to the farms
less favoured land.
Patience and perseverance
has certainly paid off as
the flock now stands at 130
pedigree breeding ewes and
thrives on the farms poorer
soils. Husband Barry is off
farm most days working as
a carpenter, leaving Eirlys
to handle lambs, ewes and
rams.
Dagging, drenching and
tagging tasks as well as
selecting
her
seasonal
show team of prize-winning sheep are challenges
enough, but as Eirlys only

weighs in at seven stone a
strong piece of kit is essential to the farms operation
and her health.
The Maesglas pedigree
Hampshire Down flock have
been attending national
shows since 2000 and it was
at last years Royal Welsh
Show that the Jones family
first spotted a Ritchie Combi
Clamp sheep handling system. Ritchies Welsh area
agricultural sales representative, Carwyn Davies,
highlighted the ease with
which sheep passed through
the padded soft-sided Combi
Clamp, holding each animal
firmly and safely while allowing the operator to carry
out husbandry tasks hands
free.
Carwyn demonstrated that
it was Eirlys body weight,
transferred via a pressure
loaded spring plate, that
stopped the sheep from
jumping or sitting down.
Once in the clamp no unnecessary force was required so
she could safely handle her
120-kilo rams.
Eirlys said: The sheep
pass through the clamp
easily without fretting, as
they seem to enjoy running
through.

Dairy farmers need more

help to fight price attack
Firms prioritise margins
GRICULTURE is one of
the few remaining bastions of British-owned
business.
Manufacturers and engineering firms have slipped into foreign hands and even water and
electricity utility companies are
controlled from overseas.
Many milk processors too are
subsidiaries of foreign companies whose only answer to difficult market conditions is to
drop the farm-gate price.
The cost of producing a litre
of milk on the farm today is
thought to be a little more than
30p per litre, meaning farms
lose money on an enterprise
demanding 12-hour days, seven
days a week. Conversely, supermarkets are fighting to be the
retailer offering the biggest discount on milk.
The price war makes no sense
By Debbie James
when consumers have not been
complaining that milk is too expensive.
It is a good value product and
the milk price wars send out
the wrong message to shoppers.
They are devaluing milk for
their own gain. Will retailers be
happy when milk is 10p a pint
and there are no dairy farmers
left in the UK?
Could it be that the so-called
free market is manipulated by
large corporations?
The problem is that individual dairy farmers do not have
enough power to influence the
processors and retailers. If you
get the chance to make your
views known at the supermarket checkout this Christmas,
every dairy farmer in Pembrokeshire would thank you.

Discussing the benefits of cutting grass crops younger with more leaf
A PARTY of dairy farmers
from Finland has made a
whistle-stop tour of farms
in north and south Wales to
look at ways of improving
the quality of the silage fed to
their own herds.
The trip, organised by the
Lancashire-based company
Envirosystems,
gave
the
Finnish visitors an opportunity to see a wide range of
dairy farms and silage systems. Among the party was

Good breeding
brings Futures
runner-up spot
By Farmer reporter
A DAIRY farmers son from
Somerset, Matt House, has been
announced as the overall winner of this years Cogent Futures
programme, with Tom Jones
from Pembrokeshire taking the
competitions runner-up spot.
The annual Futures programme is aimed at providing
a comprehensive introduction
to genetics and sire analysis for
devotees of cattle breeding.
Four short-listed candidates
Tom Riley, from Lancashire,
Robert McConaghy, from County
Antrim, Tom from Pembrokeshire and Matt from Somerset
were selected and given the opportunity to experience the role
of a sire analyst with Cogent.
As part of the experience, the
Futures candidates visited a
range of dairy herds throughout the UK and were assessed on
their ability to select potential
bull mothers and to match these

cows to a suitable sire.
As their prize in the competition, Matt and Tom will be invited to travel to Holland with
Owain Harries, Cogents genetics procurement manager and a
Futures winner in 2009, to visit
a selection of top herds in the
country and to attend the wellknown Tulip Holstein Sale in
IJsselhallen.
The standard of this years
Futures candidates was once
again extremely high, Owain
Harries said.
All four participants showed
great depth of knowledge, with
their passion for pedigree cattle
breeding and their excellent understanding of the dairy industry obvious from the outset.
Selecting an overall winner
and runner-up was immensely
challenging, with little to choose
between the four.
However, Matt and Tom
proved themselves to be worthy
winners of this years top prizes
by exhibiting a real understanding of dairy cattle genetics.

They obviously learned a lot
during their time on the Futures
programme and Im sure all four
candidates have a very bright future ahead of them in dairy cattle breeding.
Matt said: I have gained a huge
amount of knowledge during my
time as a Futures finalist and am
absolutely thrilled and very surprised to have been chosen as the
winner.
Runner-up, Tom Jones returned to his familys Pembrokeshire farm in Reynalton following his degree, and has since
worked hard to ensure every cow
within the herd has full pedigree
status.
Over the next five years he
plans to expand the dairy herd,
which consists of Holstein and
British Friesian animals, from
160 to 300 cows.

Improving biodiversity
key to managing land
3M BIODIVERSITY FUNDING
New funding announced by the Minister for Natural
Resources looks set to help a number of county projects
with the aim of tackling growing concerns over the loss of
biodiversity in Pembrokeshire.
A 3MILLION fund for projects to
tackle declining biodiversity and
deliver benefits to communities has
been announced with Pembrokeshire
among the areas being helped.
The new investment, revealed by
the Welsh Assembly Minister for
Natural Resources, will support 18
projects across Wales, ranging from
work to improve river catchments
and marine ecosystems, to peatlands
restoration and a community project
managing woodland.
A total of nine projects in mid and
west Wales have had Nature Fund investment approved, Natural Resources Minister Carl Sargeant announced
last month.
Mr Sargeant said: We must recognise that our communities, our economy and our environment are closely
interlinked.
Improving biodiversity is key to
sustainable land management. By
recognising these links, we can improve our environment and deliver
economic and social benefits for
Wales. Our investment is directed
at achieving the maximum possible
long-term benefit.
The fund is supporting practical actions across Wales to improve biodiversity.
The projects include a 150,000
grant to a project led by Pembrokeshire Coastal Forum to create a

partnership framework between land
managers, business, industry and
commerce, government and third
sector to reduce emissions to the Milford and Cleddau catchments with
improved local environment use for
public and biodiversity benefits.
David Jones, of Pembrokeshire
Coastal Forum said: As an independent, neutral coastal partnership we
are delighted to lead on this project
where collaboration is going to be
key. We have already worked with a
number of partners to develop the
project proposal including Natural
Resources Wales, D r Cymru Welsh
Water and the Pembrokeshire Marine
SAC Relevant Authorities Group. We
are looking forward to working with
a much wider group of stakeholders
on this exciting project which could
also contribute to the delivery of the
Water Framework Directive.
There is a growing concern over the
loss of biodiversity in Pembrokeshire, partly due to changing and intensifying land management practices.
The majority of the Pembrokeshire
Marine Special Area of Conservation
features are in unfavourable conservation status and nutrient loading
into the Milford Haven Waterway has

been identified as a key priority action.
The Minister said: I have been impressed by the interest the Fund has
generated, in particular the response
weve had on several collaborative
farmer-led proposals.
Considering this level of interest
and the willingness of partners to
work together, the Deputy Minister
and I will be looking to make a further announcement.
The National Trust has been awarded 144,000 for a partnership project
on the Castlemartin Peninsula.

communities to address habitat and
Farming Connect report is

NFU Cymru has welcomed the
findings of the independent review into Farming Connect led
by Gareth Williams.
The report, launched at the
Winter Fair, considers the proposed approach to delivering
knowledge transfer, advice and
innovation under the next Rural
Development Programme (RDP)
and makes a total of 24 recommendations.
NFU Cymru President Stephen

Deputy Minister for Farming

announced that she is accepting
all 24 of Gareth Williams recommendations and that Welsh

and the Skills Development Programme.
NFU Cymru believes that this
will be crucial in securing high
levels of uptake and engagement from farmers. The mandatory training requirement for
providers of Farming Connect

services will be a key contributor in driving higher standards
in knowledge transfer and advice provision going forward.
Mr James added: We are very
pleased that Gareth Williams
has acknowledged wider RDP
funding and projects within
his report. We have been concerned that, under the current
RDP, there have been too many
projects with competing/duplicating roles and it is clear that
there needs to be far better integration and join-up in the next
RDP.
We are pleased that Mr Williams recognises the need for a
clearer focus and direction for
the farming industry through a
Welsh Agricultural Strategy and
the policies supporting Rural
Development. We look forward
to working with Government on
the development of this strategy
which should show how agriculture can deliver the outcomes of
the Food Action Plan.

also improve habitats in the area
with a focus on land management

will also encourage fishermen to take
a sustainable approach to fishing.
Coed Cymru and Rivers Trust will

Farm work helped national

winner to face testing year
BY DEBBIE JAMES
Winning the Welsh woman farmer
of the year award was a high
point in an emotional year for
Eleri Lloyd.
HE pace at which Eleri

Lloyd lives her life is
proof that if you want
something done who
better to ask than a busy person.
Yet no one would be more
embarrassed than Eleri to be
described as extraordinary.
Her exceptional work ethic is
so deeply ingrained that she
would be the last person to
regard her exhausting schedule as noteworthy, even in a
year when she has endured
breast cancer treatment.
It has been an emotional
journey, she reflects, as she
recalls the diagnosis and
punishing treatment plan.
The only days she absented herself from work were
those when she was undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
There is no way I could
have stopped working, I needed it to keep myself positive
mentally, she insists.
Eleris husband Haydn,
urged her to slow down, but
she admits: Working is
when I am at my happiest.
Her zest for life, which had
taken a knock, was reawoken
when she was set another
challenge to enter the NFU
Cymru Welsh Woman Farmer of the Year competition.
She had been nominated by
the incumbent titleholder,
fellow dairy farmer and near
neighbour, Cheryl Thomas.
Initially she didnt feel she
had the time to get the application completed.
I made a mental note of
the closing date and it wasnt

until the evening prior to

that date that I realised what
a privilege it was to have
been asked and that I must
make the time. I submitted
the application and forgot
all about it.
A reminder came in the
form of an email from NFU
Cymru informing her that
she had been shortlisted.
She
hadnt
appreciated
the enormity of the award
until she turned up at the
Royal Welsh Show reception
where the winner was to be
disclosed.
I had been completely
chilled out but when I arrived and saw that the place
was full of press, I quickly
realised I had underestimated the competition. I was
speechless when my name
was announced.
It was a highpoint of a
tough year, a tough life in
fact, as cancer is not the only
test Eleri has endured.
One nearly cost Eleri and
her husband, Haydn, their
dairy farming business at
Ffynnonlwyd,
Llangynin.
They had been supplying
their milk to the nearby Elm
Dairies factory when it went
into liquidation.
Haydn was production director at the creamery so
they not only lost 50,000
in milk revenue but his job
also.
This was a massive blow
to us as we had invested
heavily in the farm, Eleri
recalls.
But in times of adversity, opportunities can pre-

sent themselves. In Eleri
and Haydns case it was the
chance to take on a water engineering business, Allpump
Services.
We were skint but we
cashed in our stocks and
shares and managed to pull
enough money together to
buy the business.
She kept working full time
as a prosecutions officer in
the Trading Standards department at Pembrokeshire
County Council.
This allowed us to live off
my salary which gave the

pumps business a chance to
get established, explains
Eleri, who milked the cows
before heading off to that job.
Energy, enthusiasm and
dedication allowed the business to grow and seven years
ago Eleri gave up her job to
help Haydn drive the business
to the next level.
I was nervous about letting
my salary go but on reflection it was the best decision I
could have made.
In the first year that followed they grew the business
by more than a third and they
now employ 10 people. The
business has outgrown its
premises in the outbuildings
at Ffynnonlwyd and will relocate shortly to the former
Wembley Services site at
nearby St Clears, which the
Lloyds recently acquired.
A typical day for Eleri usually starts by helping their sons,
19-year-old Llyr and 16-yearold Rhodri, to milk the cows.
If there are guests in the bed
and breakfast accommodation that Eleri runs at Ffynnonlwyd, there are breakfasts
to be prepared with her mother, Marlene, who, at 80, has no
intention of slowing down.
For the rest of the day, Eleri
works at Allpump Services.
As the engineering business has grown, so too has the
farming enterprise. Eleri is
the third generation of her

family to farm at Ffynnonlwyd. She and Haydn took
on the business from her
parents in 1993.
They milk 300 spring-calving cows on a grass-based
system.
They
recently
bought some additional
land from a neighbouring
farmer.
We have invested in
tracks so that we can graze
this land, says Eleri.
Ideally, they would like to
buy another independent
farm so that the boys can
farm separately.
Despite her many professional
commitments,
Eleri finds the time to get
involved in community life
and in charity fund raising.
She is a leader of St Clears
YFC after a long association
with the club.
Eleris cancer diagnosis
has also driven her to raise
money for three hospital facilities that were central to

her treatment the Breast
Cancer Unit at Prince Philip
Hospital, the chemotherapy
unit at Glangwili Hospital,
and the radium department
at Singleton Hospital.
She has established the
Eleri Lloyd Charity Fund
and all money paid to this
fund will be shared between
the three.
She is embracing her return to full health, so much
so that she is even contemplating a fund raising bike
ride.
Haydn and I have discussed the possibility of
cycling from south to north
Wales to raise money for
breast cancer charities.
For a woman who makes
things happen, you sense
that it is only a matter of
time before the pair will be
pedalling north.

Regulations
could pose
food threat
NFU Cymru expressed concern at EU proposals for a

new regulation on organic
food production in Wales.
Presenting evidence to AMs
at the Assemblys Environment and Sustainability
Committee Inquiry on the issue, NFU Cymru Organic
Sector representative, Haydn
Evans, said the European
Commissions proposals will
have significant consequences for organic producers.
Mr Evans said: Proposals
introduced from 2017 would
see an end to mixed farming (part organic and part
conventional) and also a ban
on the use of conventional
seeds, so that organic farmers will have to use 100 per
cent organic seed.
Mr Evans said that proposed changes to the origins
of animal feeds also represent a significant threat to
organic production in Wales.
Gold for First Milk at cheese awards
The World Cheese Awards took place on November 14 and brought together 250 cheese experts from 26 nations, as well
as buyers and sellers from the global food industry.
FIRST Milk, owners of

Haverfordwest Creamery, is
celebrating as its extra mature cheddar was rated one
of the worlds best cheeses
at the World Cheese Awards
2014 in London.
The creamery won a Super
Gold title which is awarded
by the judges from their
selection of Gold-winning
cheeses. With entries judged
by expert cheese graders,
producers, buyers, chefs and
food writers, recipients of
the title are classed among
the worlds best cheeses.
Sue Wilson, senior executive director for First Milk
said: This award demonstrates the hard work and
dedication of our farmerowners and our fantastic
work-force at the site.
Given the high standards
on which all cheeses are
judged, securing any award
from the show is a major
achievement, but to take
home Super Gold is a huge
honour.
The creamery, which produces the majority of its
cheddar for First Milks supply partnership with Adams

medal and two Bronze titles.
Bad back is drastically

improved with moves
HEEP farmer Jane

Woolman has turned
her life around after
discovering a programme of exercises to help
relieve severe back pain
caused by scoliosis.
Jane, aged 70, has always
been fit and active throughout her life and she was passionate about farming until
she started to experience
excruciating pain which radiated through her rib cage.
The pain was so severe that
she struggled to walk. It affected her ability to do most
normal things and working
on the farm was out of the
question when she was going
through a bad spell.
Jane, who farms at Foxhill,
Broad Haven, and who also
breeds horses, started to suffer back problems around 15
years ago and was eventually
diagnosed with scoliosis.
Scoliosis causes the spine
to excessively curve sideways. The condition affects
more than four per cent of
the population and if left untreated can lead to fatal heart
and lung problems.
Current medical treatment
is to wait until the curve becomes so severe that the only
option left is to operate. The
operation is a risky proce-
EXERCISES GIVE SHEEP FARMER A NEW LEASE OF LIFE

Jane Woolman, who farms in Broad Haven, started to suffer back
problems around 15 years ago and was eventually diagnosed with
scoliosis. She has now discovered a programme of exercises to help
relieve her severe pain.
Left in debilitating back pain caused by scoliosis, Jane Woolman has discovered a set of
exercises to relieve her symptoms.
dure which involves metal
rods being inserted either
side of the spine, before the
spine is fused solid.
In fear of having to give up
farming, during a particularly bad period, Jane found
herself desperately searching online for a solution
to her problems and came
across Scoliosis SOS.

Founded and run by Erika
Maude, who has scoliosis
herself, the clinic opened
eight years ago and has
brought relief to hundreds
of sufferers. Located in
central London, it offers
treatment following the ScolioGold method, which is a
combination of non-surgical
treatments which have been
practised separately in Europe for several decades.
Jane decided she had to try
this treatment as surgery
would be hugely invasive
and she probably would not
be eligible due to her age.
Jane said: Prior to treat-
ment, I found myself physically exhausted. I was getting very depressed about
my back as I knew things
would only get worse if the
condition was not treated. I
was rapidly losing my mobility, I could not work properly,
house work was a nightmare
and walking was sometimes
out of the question.
She enrolled on a two-week
fast track course and within
weeks her condition improved. Jane learned a set of
exercises to strengthen the
muscles surrounding her
spine which stabilised her
condition.
Since
completing
the
course, Jane has returned
home and has been able
to get back to farming and
walking again for the first
time in months. She has regained all of her confidence
and has bounced back to her
normal, sociable self.
Jane added: Physically I
am three inches taller, which
means that all the hard work
I have done has paid off and
I am certain that I will continue to improve indefinitely. My pain has dramatically
decreased, I have gained my
confidence back and I do not
regret learning these exercises for a single second.

Stan Harden, of Pembroke,

They had a good run, scoring
13, but had a long wait to be
declared the winners.
The trial was hosted at New
Inn, St Florence where teams
of 12 from Pembrokeshire,
Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion battled for the top
places.
The course was in a large,
square field, with an outrun
of around 280 yards. The
holding pen was in the bottom left-hand corner of the
field and the majority of handlers sent their dogs on the
left-hand gather.
The sheep, mixed commercial lambs, worked well for
the most part. The right-hand
drive away was around 100
yards, with the cross drive
about 130 yards. After the
drives it was back to a goodsized shedding ring, with the
pen to complete.

DESPITE many sheep farmers using vaccines there are
still disease problems occurring because of unrealistic
expectations and questionable vaccination procedures.
In a survey of 100 UK sheep
producers recently the most
common errors were:
Failing to complete recommended initial vaccination
courses;
Vaccinating lambs too early or late;
Failing to store products
in the fridge;
Re-using part opened

farm for months.

ensure the best protection
possible.
Storage
Vaccines will lose their potency if they are not stored

properly. They should be
stored as specified by the
manufacturers.
Vaccines
should not be frozen, and
they should not be allowed to
come into contact with direct
sunlight, so dont leave in the
4x4 while you go to the supermarket.
Administration
Vaccines can be administered by various routes, but

subcutaneous or intramuscular injection is the most
common route. The intranasal route is used for some
vaccines against respiratory
diseases.
The skin at the injection
site should be cleaned and
wiped with spirit, and sterile
syringes and needles should
always be used. Repeated use
of the same needle increases

Contest entries are praised

By Farmer reporter
THE Farmers Union of Wales presidents chosen charities T Hafan

and T Gobaith childrens hospices
will be the big winners thanks to the
unions annual childrens competition to design a Christmas card with
a farming theme that once again attracted hundreds of entries.
A selection of cards formed a colourful centrepiece to the FUWs
stand at the Royal Welsh Winter
Fair in Builth Wells on Monday, December 1, and Tuesday, December 2,
where the public could purchase the
winners cards with the proceeds going to the hospices.
FUW president Emyr Jones said:
The competition was a great success again, attracting hundreds of
entries from across Wales.
I would like to thank every child
who entered and tell them that without their participation the contest
would not have been such a success.
I would also like to express my gratitude to the staff at the schools up and
down the country that assisted the
FUW in the running of the competition.
It gave children in urban and rural
areas of Wales an opportunity to connect with the farming industry and
express their thoughts in a creative
and colourful way. I believe it is vital

that we as farmers maintain a

strong link with young people
so that they understand the
way that food is produced in
this country.
The competition was split
into two categories English
and Welsh designs. The Welsh
category was won by nineyear-old Lucy Beddowes from
Ysgol Llanarth, Ceredigion,
whose design shows Father
Christmas driving a blue trac-
tor through the snow accompanied by a red robin.

The winner of the English
category was ten-year-old
Drew Morris from Ysgol yr
Eglwys yng Nghymru, Llangors, Breconshire, whose design shows a farmer dressed
as Santa riding a Merry Ferguson tractor.
Both won a 30 gift voucher,
a packet of their cards and a
50 cheque for their school.

included in the kits delivered to Welsh schools participating in the project,
Puffin Produce is the first
merchant to introduce onpack stickers to encourage

schools to sign-up to Grow
Your Own Potatoes.
Lizzie Caunter, Puffin Produce marketing executive,
said: It is very important
that children understand
exactly where their food
comes from.
Its also good to teach them
that supporting locally
grown produce will help to
create a sustainable future
for Welsh farmers and farmland.
That is why Grow Your
Own Potatoes is such a
worthwhile project and one
that we are pleased to be associated with.
So, look out for the stickers offering Free Potato
Kits for Schools and pass
them on to any primary
school children or teachers you know to encourage
further uptake of this fun,
hands-on activity.

Tool to help
benchmark
success to
be issued
THE latest Wales Farm Income Booklet, published last

month, provides results from
the Farm Business Survey
(FBS) for 2013-14.
The data shows the variation in performance between
the average and the top performers and demonstrates
the scope that exists for
change.
Published by Aberystwyth
University and sponsored by
Farming Connect, the booklet will be issued to almost
38,000 farmers in Wales with
the latest issue of Gwlad,
the Welsh Governments bimonthly rural affairs magazine.
Tony ORegan, director of
the FBS Unit at Aberystwyth
University says that many
Gwlad readers provide data
for the Farm Business Survey.
He said: Farmers across
Wales will appreciate that it
contains accurate and reliable information with good
size samples for each farm
type. This booklet is a valuable tool which will help
farmers benchmark their
performance and address
production costs.
The consistent factor every year is the range of profitability within the sample
farms, for example the topthird cattle and sheep farmers retained 32% of output as
profit, compared with 19% as
average.
Similarly, top-third dairy
units achieved 32% of output
as profit versus an average of
22%.
Milk maker
looks to US
for custom
FIRST Milk continues to

make progress with its export sales, with news that
it has secured a deal with a
Texan fine foods retailer, for
the export of Mull of Kintyre
cheddar.
The order means that the
premium Scottish cheddar is
available for the key holiday
season in the US, as Americans this week celebrate
Thanksgiving, and begin to
stock up for Christmas and
New Year.
Fraser Brown, Sales Director Export & Trading for
First Milk said: Developing
added value export sales is
a key part of our business
strategy, as we remain focused on driving more stable
returns for our farmer owners.
Despite the depressed
market situation around the
world, US markets are performing stronger.
Advice issued to prevent flus spread
FLU THREAT: Poultry owners are being urged to follow good bio-security practice to minimise the risk of their flocks coming
into contact with wild birds following a recent outbreak of avian influenza.
WELSH poultry owners are

being urged to follow good
bio-security practice to minimise the risk of their flocks
coming into contact with
wild birds following the recent outbreak of avian influenza on a duck breeding farm
in East Yorkshire.
Avian influenza is a highly
contagious viral disease affecting the respiratory, digestive and/or nervous system
of many species of birds.
It spreads from bird to bird
by direct contact or through
contaminated body fluids
and faeces.
Chief Veterinary Officer
for Wales, Professor Christianne Glossop, said: Welsh
poultry keepers can help
minimise the risk of the disease spreading by maintaining good bio-security measures. There are a number of
simple precautions that can
be taken such as regularly
changing water and food supplies.
Anyone keeping poultry
should seek advice from their
vet if they have any specific
questions or concerns.
Avian influenza is a notifiable disease so any signs
of the disease should be reported to their local Animal
Health and Plant Agency
(formerly AHVLA) office immediately. For up to date information visit:www.gov.uk/

Dairy price dilemma is

debated in parliament
HE
crisis
facing
Pembrokeshire
and
C a r m a r t h e n s h i r e s
dairy farmers was the
topic of a special Westminster debate led by MP Simon
Hart.
South west Wales has the
highest concentration of
dairy farmers in the UK and
many of them are now being paid less for their milk
than it costs them to produce
with little prospect of improvement.
Mr Hart led the Westminster Hall debate in Parliament last month which was
attended by 26 MPs from all
parts of the UK.
He told them: If were
lucky, we might need a doctor, an accountant or a lawyer once or twice a year, but
we need a farmer three times
a day.
Fluctuating prices, tensions between farmers and
processors, and criticism of
retailers, especially supermarkets, are nothing new in
agriculture, he added.
But what is completely un-
WESTMINSTER DEBATE
MP Simon Hart has raised the crisis facing dairy farmers in parliament.
South west Wales has the highest concentration of dairy farmers in
the UK and many of them are now being paid less for their milk than it
costs them to produce.
sustainable is the long-term
prospect of having to sell its
milk for less than the cost
of generating it in the first
place, and the extraordinarily short notice that some
producers get of significant
price changes, about which
they can do nothing but sit
back and take the pain.
The MPs scrutinised the
role of the groceries code adjudicator and wording of the
dairy code of practice.
He added: The industry
recognises that overproduction is a problem and affects
price. The industry also recognises reduced demand as
a result of changing buying
habits in China and of Russian sanctions.
He told MPs that 50 per
cent of British milk is sold

at home and that its price
is a straightforward consequence of the relationship
between UK-based retailers
and the processors.
Solutions that he suggested

included identifying and
exploiting new markets, accessing more EU funding to
promote dairy products and
greater collaboration between farmers.

He also mentioned some
short term proposals that
could help including improving food labelling and
procurement policies, fighting TB and deregulation.
Regulation is simply an
added cost to farmers and
there are not necessarily any
positive benefits, he said.
There is layer upon layer
of regulation, so the more
we can strip away, without
compromising food safety or
animal welfare, the better.
Mr Hart has also organised a Public Meeting on the
dairy crisis which will be
addressed by former farmer
and MEP Neil Parish who
is now MP for Tiverton and
Honiton and chairman of
the Dairy All Party Parliamentary Group. All welcome.

taking place at the Plas Hyfryd Hotel, Narberth at 8pm

Concern over
dairy prices
By Farmer reporter
MARKET CONCERNS: Carmarthenshire NFU Cymru County Chairman Rhys Jones.
29
FALLING milk prices and

the volatility in global dairy
markets were put under the
spotlight during a meeting of
dairy farmers in Whitland.
Aled Jones, NFU Cymru
Dairy Board chairman, met
with a group of local dairy
farmers at an on-farm meeting hosted by Simon and Sian
Davies and family at Brynhyfryd Farm, in Hebron near
Whitland.
Speaking at the meeting,
Mr Jones, a dairy farmer
from Caernarfon said: The
recent rapid falls in farmgate milk prices, on the back
of downward shifts to global

dairy commodities, is putting severe pressure on dairy
farmers throughout Wales as
we head into winter.
There is no doubt that this
volatility presents us with
some significant challenges and that the confidence
of dairy farmers has been
rocked by these recent price
cuts.
With the vast majority of
the milk that we produce here
in Wales being processed into
cheese it is high time that the
rest of the supply chain take
more responsibility for their
dairy farmer suppliers.
We need to see transparent pricing structures being
implemented throughout the

supply chain for the products
that are sold in Welsh and UK
supermarkets.
Carmarthenshire
NFU
Cymru county chairman
Rhys Jones, a dairy farmer
from Llanwrda, said: We
understand that were part
of a global market and are
exposed to this volatility
in dairy commodity prices.
However, we should not forget that we also have a strong
domestic market for liquid
milk, cheese, butter and
many other processed dairy
products right here in the UK
and this should cushion us
against the worst extremes
of this price volatility.

Maiden champions
TWO young farmers have emerged as

winners of a new Holstein stock-judging competition in Carmarthenshire.
The challenge was initiated by a
group of Holstein breeders and ex-YFC
members who felt stock-judging events
organised by the local shows should
bring an acceptable reward.
As a result, a perpetual trophy and a
50 cash prize to each of the senior (18
years and over) and junior section winners has been awarded for gaining the
highest points total at any four of the
pre-show evening events at St Clears,
Cothi Bridge, Llangadog, Llandeilo,
Llanfynydd and Llandyfaelog.
Pictured are the first winners, Robert Jones, St Ishmaels YFC and Arwel
Thomas, St Clears YFC. Gruffydd Evans and Emyr Bowen, both of St Ishmaels, were runners up in the senior
section and Gethin Jones, St Ishmaels
and Ifan Williams, Llangadog were runners up among the juniors.
Meirion and Margaret Williams donated the senior trophy, St Clears, and
also contributed to the prize money
was donated by Kevin and Ann Jones.
Donating the junior trophy were Elwyn
and Cheryl Thomas, Pontantwn, who
also contributed to the prize money donated by Eifion and Mary Jones.

Regulations
changes for
weedkillers
WHILE many farmers who
use professional pesticides
on grassland are aware of
the need to protect water, a
significant number remain
unaware of the imminent
changes in legislation to use
and apply such products, according to The Voluntary Initiative (VI).
A survey undertaken by the
VI and the Pesticides Forum
during summer/autumn 2014
showed that almost 90 per
cent of the 355 farmers surveyed were aware that products used to control weeds
in grassland can be found in
rivers and lakes. About 70 per
cent were aware that under
the Sustainable Use Directive regulations grandfather
rights for sprayer operators
will be ending from November 26, 2015. Fewer knew
that from November 26, 2016
mounted sprayers and applicators need to be independently tested at least every
five years. Eblexs Liz Genever said: If farmers wish
to maintain access to vital
grassland weedkillers to control docks, thistles and other
grassland weeds they mustensure they are complying
with this new legislation.
