This episode focusses on the new environmental expectations of farmers in Wales particularly around the management of nutrients. From the 1st January 2020, new rules will be introduced to control when nitrogen and organic fertilisers are spread on the land, how much storage capacity is required for slurry as well as the need to prepare detailed plans and records.
In anticipation of these new rules, Farming Connect organised an event (in partnership with the AHDB) at Gelli Aur College Farm. One of the main speakers was a Dutch Nuffield Farming Scholar, Rick de Vor. Aled caught up with him during the day to learn more about how he’s adapted to farm within some very strict regulations over nutrient management and how he’s seen some benefits to his business.

#5 – Rick de Vor, Ysgolhaig Nuffield
Mae’r bennod hon yn canolbwyntio ar ddisgwyliadau amgylcheddol newydd i ffermwyr yng Nghymru yn enwedig o ran rheoli maetholion. O'r 1af Ionawr 2020, bydd rheolau newydd yn cael eu cyflwyno i reoli pan fydd nitrogen a gwrtaith yn cael ei wasgaru ar y tir, faint o gapasiti storio sydd ei angen ar gyfer slyri yn ogystal â'r angen i baratoi cynlluniau a chofnodion manwl.
Gan ragweld y rheolau newydd hyn, trefnodd Cyswllt Ffermio ddigwyddiad (ar y cyd gyda AHDB) ar Fferm Coleg Gelli Aur. Un o'r prif siaradwyr oedd yr Ysgolhaig Nuffield, Rick de Vor or Iseldiroedd. Wnaeth Aled ddal i fyny ag ef yn ystod y dydd i ddysgu mwy am sut mae wedi addasu i ffermio o fewn rheoliadau llym iawn ynghylch rheoli maetholion a sut mae wedi'i weld rhai buddion i'w fusnes.

#4 – John Yeomans (Management Exchange)
This episode comes from an area called Adfa near Newtown, the home of John Yeomans and his family at Llwyn y Brain Farm. John farms in partnership with his wife, Sarah, and the farm extends to 284 acres. They keep a suckler herd of about 70 cattle and a flock of 500 Beulah Speckled Faced Ewes.
The reason Aled and Jim have gone to see John is to hear more about his research project through Farming Connect’s Management Exchange programme, which enabled him to visit Ireland and Finland to broaden his understanding of how to improve grassland utilisation and to look at better grading systems for beef and lamb carcasses.
John’s opinions are his, not those of Farming Connect.

#4 – John Yeomans (Cyfnewidfa Rheolaeth)
Mae’r bennod hon yn dod o ardal Adfa ger y Drenewydd, cartref John Yoemans ai deulu ar Fferm Llwyn y Brain. Mae John yn ffermio mewn partneriaeth â’i wraig, Sarah ac mae’r fferm yn ymestyn i 284 erw. Mae nhw cadw buches sugno o 70 o wartheg a diadell o 500 o ddefaid Beulah.
Y rheswm mae Aled a Jim wedi mynd i weld John yw i glywed mwy am ei brosiect ymchwil trwy Gyfnewidfa Rheolaeth Cyswllt Ffermio a'i galluogodd i ymweld â Iwerddon a’r Ffindir i ehangu ei wybodaeth am wella ein defnydd o borfa a datblygu gwell system o ddosbarthu carcasau cig eidion a chig oen.
Mae John yn mynegi ei farn ei hun, nid barn Cyswllt Ffermio.
