Some time ago, Great Porthamel Farm, near Talgarth, applied to build an Anaerobic Digester to deal with waste products from Merthyr Tydfil abattoir. They were already spreading this stuff on their fields, and the digester would be a more efficient way of disposing of it - and provide energy at the same time.
There were protests locally, inevitably - smell, lorries, and so on - and the application was turned down by the National Parks.
Great Porthamel Farm are now appealing that decision, and have a website setting out what is involved.
You can find it at www.adtalgarth.co.uk
And as they publicise this in the latest Wye Local, so a letter appears in the B&R supporting them eloquently.
"We need more projects like this for our future," says Roderick Williams of Talgarth. "The trouble is that when people do not understand something the immediately panic and in turn panic others by disinformation, propaganda and sometimes deliberate lies."
