Take a tour of Mr Evans' farm in Cardiganshire, Wales, in this detailed yet romantic information film

Overview

Mr Evans' Gilfachwyth Farm near Llandysul in Cardiganshire, west Wales, is a model of organised and efficient modern farming methods - it's even been chosen to be part of the Royal Welsh Show. This information film offers a plethora of detail about farming methods, from fertilisers, ploughing and grazing to reaping, hay making and sheep shearing - but it's far from a dry instructional. Wonderful colour views over the farmland blend with the choral soundtrack to offer a romantic look at postwar Welsh rural life.
