Powys Honey producer named the best at Royal Welsh Show
Shane Llewelyn-Jones the owner and founder of Bee Welsh Honey in Builth Wells is celebrating after picking up another accolade for his multi-award-winning honey.

'It has been a very good season for the bees, the weather has been good as we know. The good weather means that the bees can go out and forage more.
'The only downside is that because the weather has been so dry the forage hasn't been lasting as long. So while they have been able to get out more due to the good weather the amount of days they could forage on a good nectar source was halved.
'We have some dandelion honey on sale this year because it was a very good spring that is quite rare for us to get. It only happens about once every six or seven years.'

New Zealand is undoing Jacinda Ardern's disastrous energy legacy
The centre-right government of New Zealand's Prime Minister Christopher Luxon voted this week to overturn the previous Jacinda Ardern-led administration's Starmeresque prohibition on new offshore oil and gas exploration. The earlier ban, enacted in 2018, was a major part of Ardern's idealistic plan to shepherd the country of five million into a bright and limitless 'clean, green and sustainable' carbon-free future built on renewables rather than fossil fuel. It also threatened to shut out the nation's lights. At the very least, critics warned at the time, it would likely lead to a future of economic instability – all the more so because any replacement solar, wind and battery storage might not come on track fast enough to make up for dwindling gas fields. Ardern found herself accused of virtue-signalling on a particularly grand scale. That criticism appeared to have been borne out in New Zealand after companies such as the energy supplier Genesis Energy were subsequently forced to import coal – which has higher emissions – and the spectre loomed larger of hitherto unimaginable blackouts in the near term. In May, the national grid operator Transpower said that, as a consequence of the policy, the country's gas fields were dropping much faster than expected, New Zealand was now at risk of experiencing electricity outages as early as 2026. In the meantime, electricity prices have surged by more than 10 per cent. Among the most vocal critics of Ardern's ban was not a member of the conservative opposition National party, but a maverick member of her own cabinet, Shane Jones. Jones, a roly-poly figure with a reputation for breaking ranks with his Labour party on 'woke' issues, subsequently left for a new role as deputy leader of the populist New Zealand First, which has since become a junior coalition party in Luxon's conservative government elected to office in 2023. He now serves as the country's resources minister. The new legislation he helped author was meant to be one of the new government's first items of legislative business, but parliamentary glitches saw it shelved until yesterday's vote. What Jones describes as Ardern's 'unwieldly' environmental vision for the South Sea has drawn obvious comparisons with Sir Keir Starmer's one for the North Sea – but the two situations have their differences. Unlike New Zealand, the UK is connected to an international grid and has access to nuclear power. The Kiwis have none of those advantages. Nevertheless, the binning of Ardern's flagship policy was opposed by all three of New Zealand's opposition parties, in particular Sir Keir's Labour counterparts who first ushered in the 2018 ban. Labour's energy and resources spokeswoman, Megan Woods, said upending the ban was a 'very potent symbol' of a dysfunctional government 'out of touch with ordinary New Zealanders and more intent at doing the bidding of multinational oil and gas companies.' Yet even supporters of the turnaround acknowledge that those companies may be slow to return to a local market whose policies could yet switch again should Labour regain office at next year's general election. In a statement on Thursday, Jones reiterated that the earlier policy had always been 'ill-fated' and had 'exacerbated shortages in our domestic gas supply by obliterating new investment in the exploration and development needed to meet our future gas needs.' New Zealand's volte-face comes amid growing criticism of Keir Starmer's North Sea shutdown, with US President Donald Trump saying this week that Britain was wasting a 'treasure chest' of oil and gas In an earlier interview with this writer in his parliamentary office, Jones said he welcomed the American administration's international influence in putting paid to 'shallow juvenile thinking' around environmental adventurism. 'I'm hoping that Trump's influence will permeate,' he said.

New HCC Scholar Seeks Practical Sustainability Solutions for Farmers in Wales
Ben Lloyd James, HCC Scholar 2025 A new entrant into the farming sector and agricultural consultant from Ceredigion has been announced as Hybu Cig Cymru – Meat Promotion Wales (HCC) Scholar for 2025. Ben Lloyd James from Abermeurig, Lampeter has been awarded the Scholarship to investigate practical solutions for reducing GHG emissions in pasture-based livestock systems in Wales. He said: 'The Welsh red meat sector is under increasing pressure to prove its environmental credentials. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly methane, are central to the conversation — and how we respond will define the future of our industry. It's a topic that matters now more than ever and if we get it right, we don't just protect our sector — we position it as part of the climate solution. That starts with learning from those who are already a few steps ahead — and bringing those lessons home in ways that make sense on the ground. That's why I've chosen this topic and why now is exactly the right time to explore it.' As someone actively working within the Welsh livestock industry, Ben sees both a challenge and opportunity for the red meat sector. He said: 'Through my work, I experience first-hand the pride and pressure felt by red meat producers when it comes to environmental performance. This has led me to develop a strong interest in helping farmers strike the right balance between productivity and sustainability.' He intends to focus his study on farming systems in Ireland, the Netherlands and Switzerland, and plans to attend the European Grassland Federation Symposium in Reading for further insight into sustainable grassland management practices. 'The scholarship will allow me to learn from countries that are ahead in integrating low-emission strategies into real farming systems, which is why I chose to focus on Europe. Countries in Europe offer diverse but relatable farming systems, strong policy frameworks and practical examples of how red meat production can align with climate and sustainability goals, whilst wrestling with challenges that are similar to the ones we face here in Wales. 'I want to contribute to a sustainable future that nurtures both the land and the next generation and help shape an industry that's proud of its past, ambitious for its future, and equipped to make sustainability real and practical at farm level.' James Powell, HCC Scholarship Association Vice Chair with Ben Lloyd James at the Royal Welsh Show HCC's Industry Development Executive James Ruggeri said: 'We are delighted to announce Ben as the recipient of the HCC Scholarship this year. He has practical on-farm experience, and his consultancy work means that he is already actively supporting farmers with the very challenges that he hopes to delve deeper into with his scholarship study. He is keen to bring back proven, practical tools that producers in Wales can use, and will share them with the farmers and businesses that he works with every day. 'His background, long-term industry commitment and passion makes him a perfect candidate for our Scholarship, and we are excited to hear about his experiences and findings during the course of the year.' HCC has been offering the annual scholarship for more than 20 years to applicants who are employed on a full-time basis within the Welsh red meat industry. The Scholarship allows them to study an aspect of production or processing in a country of their choice with recent examples looking at topics such as breeding sheep for better resistance to worms, the reputation of the suckler cow, techno grazing and conservation management.

M&S Celebrates 'Exceptional' Farmers and Growers at the Royal Welsh Show 2025
M&S has honoured 'outstanding' farmers and growers from across the UK at this year's M&S Select Farm Awards, presented at the Royal Welsh Show. The annual awards celebrate the very best of British agriculture, recognising excellence in innovation, sustainability, animal welfare and emerging talent. The retailer said that this year's Royal Welsh Show winners reflect the diversity and dedication of the M&S supply base, spanning fresh produce, beef, lamb, poultry, and dairy farms. Produce Excellence Award: Andrew Green – Herefordshire Andrew Green, a third-generation grower from Herefordshire, has been awarded the Produce Excellence Award for his pioneering work with Flamingo Produce to extend the British Tenderstem Broccoli season. By using careful land selection and smart growing techniques, Andrew delivers the UK's earliest Tenderstem Broccoli three to four weeks ahead of the usual season, and extends availability right through to November, reducing imports and cutting food miles. Andrew said: 'I've always believed the best crops come from knowing your land and trying new ideas. It's great to see British Tenderstem Broccoli in M&S stores earlier and for longer.' Environmental Champion Award: Richard Heady – Buckinghamshire Richard Heady, from Buckinghamshire, has won the Environmental Champion Award for transforming his mixed beef and arable farm through regenerative practices. Supplying M&S through Dunbia, Richard has put soil health, biodiversity and carbon reduction at the heart of daily operations, from zero-till planting and diverse cover crops to wildflower margins and protecting watercourses. Richard said: 'We're proud of our beef, and we want to leave the farm better for the next generation too. It's not about doing one big thing, it's lots of small changes that add up, season after season.' Emerging Talent Award: Robbie Goetz – Devon At just 19, Robbie Goetz from Devon has been awarded the Emerging Talent Award for his work at Tollgate Farm, where he raises higher-welfare Oakham Gold chickens exclusively for M&S through Hook2Sisters. After leaving school at 15, Robbie's practical skills and dedication have seen him progress to Trainee Assistant Farm Manager, helping lead a small team caring for over 210,000 RSPCA Assured birds. Robbie said: 'I didn't know what I wanted to do when I left school, but I found something I care about. I love working at the farm, learning new things and seeing what we can achieve together.' Innovation Award: Don Ford – North Somerset Don Ford, from North Somerset, has scooped the Innovation Award for pioneering lower-carbon, free-range chicken production. His family-run farm supplies M&S through Capestone and has invested in renewable energy, with biomass boilers and solar power, while planting 11,000 hardwood trees and a cider apple orchard for natural bird cover and richer biodiversity. Poultry litter is reused by local farms, creating a closed-loop system and the farm now has the lowest net emissions in Capestone's supply chain. Don said: 'We've always believed a good farm should put back more than it takes out. The trees, the renewables, the way the birds roam, it's all part of showing that proper free-range farming can tread lightly on the planet and still deliver exceptional-quality food.' Royal Countryside Fund Family Farm Award: The Roderick Family – Brecon, Wales The Roderick Family, from Brecon, have received the Royal Countryside Fund Family Farm Award for their commitment to animal welfare, sustainability and succession at Newton Farm. Richard Roderick and his family run two sheep flocks and a 100-head Stabiliser suckler herd supplying beef and lamb to M&S through Dunbia. The farm stands out for its calm, well-handled livestock, thoughtful breeding and careful succession planning, with Richard's son Tudor now fully involved in flock management. Richard said: 'For us, it's simple, if you look after your animals and your land properly, they look after you in return. We're proud to keep that approach alive as a family and it means a lot to have it recognised by M&S and the Royal Countryside Fund.' Welfare Excellence Award: Max Frampton & Toby Wonnacott – Dorset A dedicated Dorset dairy team led by owner Max Frampton and herd manager Toby Wonnacott has won the Welfare Excellence Award for delivering some of the highest cow health and comfort standards in the UK. The herd produces 14,000 litres per cow annually, while keeping mastitis rates at just 2%, compared to a 24% national average, thanks to excellent cubicle design, feed access and healthy youngstock, all cared for by a small, dedicated team. Max said: 'For us, good welfare is just about doing the right thing every day. The cows always come first, this award means a lot to the whole team.' Steve McLean, Head of Agriculture and Fisheries at M&S, said: 'From emerging talent to seasoned innovators, our winners prove that when you care for animals, people and the planet, you can deliver the best food for our customers and a thriving countryside for everyone.' The M&S Select Farm Awards are presented annually at key agricultural shows and honour the network of M&S Select Farmers across the UK.
