A BROTHER and sister from Pembrokeshire have kept the annual FWGS All-Wales Clamp Silage trophy in the county as they took first prize in the 2020-21 competition. Winners Nigel Williams and Joy Smith are members of North Pembrokeshire Grassland Society and farm at Parc-y-Marl, Llysyfran. Elwyn Griffiths, of Hill House Farm, Norton, Preseteigne, Powys – a member of East Radnor Grassland Society – was a very close runner-up. The Federation of Welsh Grassland Societies judging panel agreed that Parc-y-Marl Farm as a whole package, was well managed within a very tidy system. While the analyses on the quality of the silage (tested by Agri-Lloyd) were important, the judges also considered clamp management and feeding practices among other efficiency markers.
