The Hill Farmer: Gareth Wyn Jones

Product Information

He also achieved Europe’s first birth using a donor egg (1987), and the first using a frozen donor embryo (1990); and in the early 1990s he was the first in the country granted a licence to create embryos using direct injection of the sperm into the egg (intracytoplasmic sperm injection, or ICSI). He developed treatment with combinations of hormones and drugs that increased the number and quality of eggs that could be collected per cycle, also increasing the likelihood of successful births. There are different pools for each stage of the fish’s life. When they’re big enough, they’re put in the larger pools Craft was something of a thorn in the side of the HFEA, speaking out against restricting the number of embryos implanted (to reduce the risk of multiple births), about time limits on the storage of frozen embryos, and about age limits on treatment.

The book is full of interesting anecdotes, some of them laugh out loud about farming life and the farm called Ty’n Llwyfan, in the Carneddau mountain range, Snowdonia where the author and his family have farmed for over 350 years. Gareth is a quite a reluctant celebrity who cares passionately about his family, the rural way of living, and farming. Farmers in England will be able to receive government funding for up to 280 different actions that protect the environment, from conserving hedgerows to maintaining peatlands, under a comprehensive overhaul of farming subsidies.

He is a strong advocate for sourcing and buying local produce and supporting local farmers and food producers rather than buying mass produced, imported, over processed food in supermarkets. Priests known as druids led religious ceremonies. They sacrificed animals and sometimes humans too! The druids gave precious offerings, such as swords and cups, to the spirits. They buried the offerings in the ground or threw them into rivers, lakes and bogs. During the Iron Age, the Celtic people spread out across Europe and many settled in Britain. The ancient Britons followed a Celtic way of life . They enjoyed feasting, music and poetry . The early days of assisted reproduction were fraught with controversy, as media commentators and religious figures denigrated its practitioners for playing God or interfering with nature. Garrulous, optimistic and boundlessly enthusiastic, he was hands-on in his approach, meeting couples and implanting embryos as one of the centre’s clinical team. In 2000 he fulfilled a long-held wish to become a country gentleman, buying a 125-acre estate with a Georgian mansion and working farm in north Devon, which he set about restoring with his customary energy while still directing the centre.

Last week, the regulatory watchdog, the Office for Environmental Protection, criticised the government for falling short on almost every environmental measure. Martin Lines, the chair of the Nature Friendly Farming Network, said Thursday’s announcement was positive but did not go far enough. “Individual actions on their own won’t achieve our climate and nature targets,” he said. “There remains the need for join-up between actions to avoid a piecemeal approach.”

Around 800 BC people in Britain learned how to use iron . This discovery had a dramatic impact on everyday life. Iron tools made farming much easier than before and settlements grew in size . Craft, who has died aged 81, was an innovative surgeon who achieved a number of firsts. His clinics saw the first successful birth of IVF twins in Europe in 1982, and Britain’s first triplets in 1984; he oversaw the first birth through transferring eggs and sperm to the uterus (1982), and later the first in Britain using gamete intrafallopian transfer, or GIFT (1986). A teacher encouraged him to pursue a career in medicine and he underwent his initial training at Westminster medical school. He opted to specialise in obstetrics and gynaecology: he always claimed to be driven by a desire to make people happy, and saw helping women to give birth as the best means of doing so. This book is the English language version of The Hill Farmer, by the charismatic and popular Gareth Wyn Jones, the Welsh farmer from Llanfairfechan North Wales. Gareth first came to prominence on our TV screens during the severe weather in March 2013 when film maker Matthew Knight followed him around his hill farm while he rescued sheep and lambs buried in snow drifts and the footage was shown on national news channels.
