2021 in review with FUW President, Glyn Roberts

Latest News (EN)

2021 has been another year of challenges for the agricultural industry, but as always, we have taken the stumbling blocks into our stride.

Our year started in a very different way than usual - the long standing farmhouse breakfast week went virtual, as in person events were still not possible due to covid-19 restrictions. Nonetheless, the team managed to raise thousands for our charity the DPJ Foundation. We are now looking forward to having breakfast either in person or virtually in the New Year, so keep your eyes peeled for information local to you and get in touch with your county office for more details. 

Our teams, including staff from FUW Insurance Services Ltd., also joined forces to combat poor mental health as they joined others as part of the #Run1000 challenge to inspire rural communities to take to the countryside to help improve their mental health. The winner of the challenge to reach the 1000 milestone was Wales and the FUW Ltd. group team contributed a total of 1,156 miles to the overall 64,785 miles recorded across all teams around the world.

‘Our community changed for the worse because of false promises’, North Wales farmer says

‘Our community changed for the worse because of false promises’, North Wales farmer says: Cyril Lewis 2
 

A farmer from North Wales has spoken of how his community has changed to a village full of second homes and of his fears for the future.

Cyril Lewis, once farmed as many as nine smallholdings, all of which were once owned by the Forestry Commission, but have now been sold. He remembers how Cwm Penmachno was a thriving community of farmers and slate quarrymen in the upper reaches of the Conwy valley. 

Many years ago, the village was bustling as local people set up private shops in the village to supply the 100 quarrymen that worked in the quarry nearby, and the woollen mill. It was a community of self-sufficient farmers who would barter food and labour, and also had a top quality school.

Cwm Penmachno farmers - adapting to change and forming a resilient community: Cwm Penmachno

Whether it’s from forestry, demographic changes in the community or governments' policies, our remotest areas face challenges and potential threats like never before. 

More than ever, farmers in Wales are charged with safeguarding land and communities. Cwm Penmachno is one such community.

Originally a basin flanked by whaleback hills at the top end of the Conwy valley, Cwm Penmachno housed a hardworking and thriving agricultural community of self-sustaining crofts and smallholdings.

National Botanic Garden of Wales farm leads the way in conservation and food production: FUW Huw Jones 1

 Set within 400 acres of the Waun Las National Nature Reserve just outside of Carmarthen you can find a mosaic of flower-rich meadows, spectacular woodlands, waterfalls and cascades - and Pantwgan farm. The organic farm is part of the National Botanic Garden of Wales and is run under the watchful eye of lead farm manager Huw Jones. Looking after the environment, maintaining biodiverse habitats and producing food are of critical importance. 

Here Huw looks after traditional breeds of Welsh Black Cattle and Balwen sheep. Describing the role they play in managing the habitats and nature reserve he says: “They’re really key to what we do here. We farm for biodiversity, that’s the reason we’re here. But farming for biodiversity you have to have livestock, the two are inextricably linked.”

Not intense in livestock numbers with just 70 head of cattle during the summer and 60 breeding ewes, the farm has been organic for the last 21 years. With limited housing for the sheep and cattle, Huw uses the small herd and flock to its full potential on the 360 acres of permanent grassland.

Ceredigion farming business shows how a focus on sustainability, innovation and a sense of community brings success: Chuckling Goat 1

 The consolidated talents of an American self-confessed city girl and a Cardiganshire farmer have led to a very healthy business in the heart of the Teifi valley.

The Chuckling Goat launched in 2014 when Texan former radio talk show host Shann Nix-Jones joined Welsh farmer Richard Jones, whose cultural roots are immersed deep in his 25-acre farm, near Brynhoffnant, Llandysul, to produce kefir from goat milk.

The company is now a thriving enterprise with customers across the globe. But despite the obvious temptations to move to an industrial unit closer to the transport infrastructure, the couple has resisted in order to develop their processing capacity on the original farm.
