It is important to note that many of the wider benefits that farming, and the presence of a vibrant and dynamic Welsh agricultural industry, provides are not always recognised in conventional markets, and do not attract a return from the marketplace. They are, nonetheless, central to the well-being of the people of Wales. Through this publication we aim to highlight the extensive benefits that agriculture provides to the wider economy, society and environment, as well as the strategic importance of the sector to Wales at this most pivotal time in the history of our nation. 2 A Prosperous Wales The Welsh agricultural industry is a key generator of wealth employed full or part time on farm holdings in Wales. and employment for the people of Wales.

  • Historic, Archived Document Do Not Assume Content Reflects Current
    Historic, archived document Do not assume content reflects current scientific knowledge, policies, or practices. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY.—CIRCULAR NO. 104. A D. MELVIN, CHIEF OF BUREAU. WELSH BLACK CATTLK.' By JOHN ROBERTS, Of the Editorial Office, Bureau of Animal Industry. INTRODUCTION. The Welsh breed of cattle is considered a very valuable one in Great Britain. The cows are good milkers, but the breed is chiefly famous for its feeding qualities and the admitted excellence of the carcass, the latter being a prime favorite with English butchers. If we grant that the modern beef animal should be considered mainly from the point of view of economy in production, the above characteristics of the Welsh breed seem to entitle it to consideration. Youatt, writing of Welsh cattle seventy years ago, said: Great Britain does not afford a more useful animal. * * * They combine to a considerable degree, and as far, perhaps, as they can be combined, the two opposite qualities of being very fair milkers with a propensity to fatten. The meat is generally beautifully marbled. It is equal to that of the Scotch cattle, and some epicures prefer it. They thrive in every situation. They will live where others starve, and they will rapidly outstrip most others when they have plenty of good pasture. * * * Great numbers of them are brought to the London market. They stand their journey well and find a ready sale, for they rarely disappoint the butcher, but on the contrary prove better than appearance and touch indicate. The above description seems to apply equally well to the present day.

  • THE ROLE of GRAZING ANIMALS and AGRICULTURE in the CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: Recognising Key Environmental and Economic Benefits Delivered by Agriculture in Wales’ Uplands
    THE ROLE OF GRAZING ANIMALS AND AGRICULTURE IN THE CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: recognising key environmental and economic benefits delivered by agriculture in Wales’ uplands Author: Ieuan M. Joyce. May 2013 Report commissioned by the Farmers’ Union of Wales. Llys Amaeth,Plas Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, SY23 3BT Telephone: 01970 820820 Executive Summary This report examines the benefits derived from the natural environment of the Cambrian Mountains, how this environment has been influenced by grazing livestock and the condition of the natural environment in the area. The report then assesses the factors currently causing changes to the Cambrian Mountains environment and discusses how to maintain the benefits derived from this environment in the future. Key findings: The Cambrian Mountains are one of Wales’ most important areas for nature, with 17% of the land designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). They are home to and often a remaining stronghold of a range of species and habitats of principal importance for the conservation of biological diversity with many of these species and habitats distributed outside the formally designated areas. The natural environment is critical to the economy of the Cambrian Mountains: agriculture, forestry, tourism, water supply and renewable energy form the backbone of the local economy. A range of non-market ecosystem services such as carbon storage and water regulation provide additional benefit to wider society. Documentary evidence shows the Cambrian Mountains have been managed with extensively grazed livestock for at least 800 years, while the pollen record and archaeological evidence suggest this way of managing the land has been important in the area since the Bronze Age.
