Farming Today This Week: Royal Welsh Grassland Event
Caz Graham finds out about all things green and grassy at the Royal Welsh Grassland Event - from hay to forage and silage - meeting farmers who are eyeing up the latest machinery.
Caz Graham finds out about all things green and grassy, from fresh hay and forage to the making of next winter's silage at the Royal Welsh Grassland Event, which took place on Thursday at the Rhug Estate in North Wales. Caz meets local farmers who're eyeing up the latest machinery, and tries one for size, a mere 拢250,000 for a forage harvester, with a seat that can be either heated or air-conditioned. Estate farm manager Gareth Evans is just relieved that the sun's shining, given that the first such grassland event was a total washout, and one month ago his acres of pasture still hadn't started growing. But it all came good in the end.
Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Mark Smalley.
