Royal Welsh: 10 years of Welsh environment award
THE three 2005 winners of the jointly run Royal Welsh Agricultural Society-Countryside Council for Wales Agri-Environment Award were back again this year marking the accolade’s 10th anniversary as “champions of champions”
Taking the overall Farmer Award is Aled Morgan Jones, of Cefn Uchaf, Llanbedr, Gwynedd, who farms in popular tourist country above the coastal plain between Barmouth and Harlech.
The farm has developed a camp site with a variety of well-marked woodland walks, immaculate buildings and well maintained walls and hedges.
Best Young Farmer is William Scale, of Great Nash Farm, Llangwm, Haverfordwest.
He grows traditional crops of potatoes, grass and cereals and has also developed a series of bridleways and enhanced the environmental components of the farm with restored hedges and newly-planted broad leaved trees.
The Contractor Award has gone to Nigel and Joyce Gervis, of Ty Mawr Lime Ltd, Ty Mawr Farm, Llangasty, Brecon.
Situated on the edge of Llangorse Lake in the Brecon Beacons National, they have resurrected a lost industry in Wales and developed a thriving business making lime mortar and other products.
