‘We’ve got this hedge that needs trimming’ they said…
A Tractor and multi blade saw head was used to cut down the larger materials, followed by the tractor and arm mounted flail to tidy it up afterwards.

We are very lucky, we have a fab team of guys working with us. But it hasn't always been easy to find help. We do not seem to be alone in this matter. People often ask if we have had training clients looking for work on farms, work at riding stables, work in offices, work helping with farm paperwork, work caring. As land based enterprises, we seem to be short of labour everywhere!
Whether you require someone one day a week, for seasonal jobs or on a permanent basis, help seems to be very hard to find.
So what can we do?
A few of us have gotten together and formed an Agrisgop group to look at some solutions.
If you have a suggestion, are looking for help your self or are looking for work or an additional form of income and would like to join our group, please get in touch. All suggestions are welcome!
If we talk, maybe we can all help each other out somehow.
We have recently become FISA members and look forward to upskilling our members of staff, updating our knowledge and keeping in touch!
We will be holding 3 Farming Connect Personal Development Plan sessions during this window.
Thursday 22nd February in Aberystwyth
Monday 26th February in Brecon
Thursday 1st March, here LD1 5UB, Penybont.
Please get in touch if you would like some help.
But if you don't see what you are looking for, please get in touch, we very often have dates added in at a weeks notice.
New training dates added to the website - take a look. If you don't see what you need, give us a call, we will try our best to help you or try and point you in the right direction
PestSmart is DWR CYMRU'S latest WaterSource campaign. Pesticide is a collective term for substances used to control weeds, pests and diseases. These are also known as Plant Protection Products.
Routine monitoring of river and reservoirs supplying drinking water has shown an increase in detections of pesticides within the last few years. Whilst levels are too low to pose a risk to those drinking the water they are sufficient to breach rigorous EU Drinking Water Standards. These standards require levels of all pesticides to remain below one tenth of part per billion, the equivalent of one blade of grass in 100,000 hay bales.
They're working together with all users groups, including farmers to encourage “smarter” techniques to reduce impact of pesticides.
Coming soon for farmers, growers, foresters and land managers in targeted areas
If you would like us to keep you informed of our PestSmart campaign and its free initiatives, send your details to watersource@dwrcymru.com
Delighted to announce that we will be working in the Wye Valley for Natural Resources Wales again this year! Photos to follow.
