Ty Tanglwyst Farm is located in South Wales, where the climate and gently sloping hills create good conditions for pasture and grass growth year-round. The farm uses technology like milking machines, homogenizing machines, and fertilizer to support its dairy operations of pasteurizing, grass cutting, silage making, milking, and homogenizing. It produces dairy products like milk and silage. Recently, the farm has diversified by adding holiday cottages and a woodland scheme to generate additional income. It benefits from proximity to major cities, tourists, buyers, and transport routes.

7. Summary Farms are becoming very expensive to run with all the machinery costs and the money they use to buy feed for the animals. The amount of farms are decreasing as many buy milk from overseas as it’s a lot cheaper than buying it from over here. People are beginning to find different jobs that require less work yet pay more. The farmers are making less and less profit as the amount of money being put into making the produce is far greater than the amount they are getting paid for the produce.
