Pwllpeiran is the Research and Development Centre for ADAS Wales. ADAS is a leading Consultancy and Research Organisation for land bases industries.
Pwllpeiran has a long and distinguished record of involvement with change and
development in the Welsh Uplands and was once part of the famous Hafod Estate
of Thomas Johns’. In the 1930’s it became the centre of Sir George
Stapledon’s pioneering Cahn Hill Improvement Scheme before becoming in
1955 a Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Experimental Husbandry Farm.
This had two objectives:
- Firstly to demonstrate integration between agriculture and forestry
- Secondly to develop practical systems to increase the output from Welsh Mountain Farms , as a way of maintaining rural populations and incomes.
