During the first term of the Assembly Gwyther was the Minister of Agriculture under the leadership of Alun Michael. She is a vegetarian and as a result was criticised by farmers and opposition parties, as Wales and the UK were suffering from a beef crisis. She was censured over her failure to deliver on a promised calf-processing scheme.
She was dismissed by the New First Minister, Rhodri Morgan, on the eve of Wales' biggest agricultural show, the Royal Welsh Show, held at Builth Wells, Wales.
