A gloriously sunny day for a gathering of Young Farmers in the grounds of Margam Castle where public speakers and tractor drivers compete.

Young Farmers compete in demonstrations of skill at an event in the grounds of Margam Castle. They hedge, fence, manoeuvre tractors, truss chickens, display scarecrows they have made, speak publicly with confidence and put together milking machine components in 5 minutes. The sun shines, prizes are awarded, and the castle grounds, where lie the beautiful ruins of Margam Abbey, are there to be explored.
