alked to guy outside a pub where I tried 3 Dragons for the first time
today (great stuff) after a hike up thru the gorge of the River Teifi,
and he said that essentially the sun days in this area limited grain
yields, while further South yields were much higher. Thus the focus on
dairy and livestock. The3se folks produce wonderful cheeses which sell
at prices much lower than comparable US cheeses. There is quite a
local food/organic food/slow food/fresh food movement here.

This fellow seemed very ag knowledgable and thought the same climate
factors limited alfalfa to 1-2 cuttings a season, whereas we get 3-4
on the dryside of Washington on fertile irrigated land. I still think
field corn and sialage corn, with peas in the rotation could make
sense here and be compatible with beef/lamb/hog production. Anyway its
all interesting to see how land and other resources are managed in
other places. Nos da

Turns out our neighbor here is the Welsh comedian Dewi Pws.

Hi Dave,

Seems like you got the answers to you questions then. I presume the guy
you spoke to was Dewi Pws.

I had to look him up on Google where is appears he's a "Welsh" Welsh
entertainer. It would seem he is very enthusiastic about the Welsh
language and communicates largely in that medium especially in his
entertainment.

I know nothing about him other than what Google can provide.
