Darren


Williams is a tenant farmer on a 2 7 0 acre farm outside Brecon. Together with his wife Rachel and two young sons, they run 5 0 0 ewes, 1 0 0 ewe lambs and 1 0 0 cattle. After gaining a BSc in agriculture at Aberystwyth, he began farming on a county council holding in Glasbury and was then fortunate enough to move to a larger tenanted farm 9 years ago. The farm is a mixed farm, growing their own corn for finishing cattle, and fattening their lambs from forage crops and grass and red clover leys. He also represents the FUWon the Agricultural Advisory Panel dealing with AgriculturalWages.


Iwan Jones farms with his wifeMenna and parents at Groes Bach, Denbigh, a dairy farm of some 1 4 0 cows, producing organic milk for Arla. Since graduating from Aberystwyth with a degree in Agriculture with Business along with farming at home with his parents, he has previously been a Director of a dairy co‐operative, worked on agricultural statistics for the university and held a number of voluntary positions.


Richard


Vaughan runs PallMall Farm, north of Tywyn. The farm is one of two holdings, totalling 5 5 0 acres, and is farmed by Richard and his wife Dwynwen. Most of the land is at Pant y Panel and Prysglwyd at Rhydymain near Dolgellau which has an abundance of natural resources and Richard has invested in a 1 0 0 kw Hydro Scheme to make use of that as well as providing valuable extra income for an upland farm. A flock of 7 5 0 WelshMountain Sheep is kept,


together with 1 5 0 ewe lambs as replacements. Approximately 3 0 store cattle are kept and fattened over the summer as well as around 1 0 0 cattle on contract on a large finishing unit in Northamptonshire.
