You had better keep hoping that Barnet formula isn't readjusted to make it fairer to English taxpayers. Wee Crankie might not have such largesse if it were reduced!

Can anyone with a sob story rock up and get a big wad from the government for doing nothing?

This is exactly whats happening, anti farming vegans are getting into positions of power and its game over now, the EU was a safe haven for us all we were well protected by the french farmers and a general pro ag attitude which doesnt exist in westminster now

So as a Tenant Farmer if i retire with 100HA of entitlement. I then terminate my tenancy, which requires me to hand back the entitlements to the landlord. What evidence am i required to provide to you and how much will i be paid?
That's because there is no precedent. We are in an era we haven't experienced before; an era of corporate control. Because that is what, ultimately, this is all about. The control of the food chain by global corporations, facilitated by Government.

With whats going on to farmers down in england now independance doesnt seem so bad, basically they are robbing farmers of cash they used to get each year from the EU to protect the industry from the lows and risk that comes with growing food in a factory with no roof
They may be in for a shock .
Don’t the entitlements belong to you

Will they though? With entitlements being decoupled from land occupancy do entitlements not simply become a no strings attached IOU from the government? If each 1ha entitlement is worth about £230 in BPS claims over that final 4 years to whoever holds it and can be claimed without the land occupancy condition, why would anyone sell or lease them for much less? Why would any new entrant wish to buy access to about £230 worth of BPS claims over 4 years for about £230? Actually come to think about it after decoupling what stops anyone, retiring or otherwise from offloading their entitlements in exchange for a lump sum? For those who can use the exit scheme the gov might pay a better rate than a private buyer looking to make a margin but the exit scheme has a cap and hoops to jump through... or am I missing something?
You got a plan ?

Isn’t the food chain controlled by corporates anyway? Tesco manager controls the tattie price.

I did wonder if they noticed in the local Tesco store when I packed up road side spud sales. I used to sell about 30 tonnes a year at about a third of the price of Tescos. Packed up because it looked like I wasn’t going push Tescos over the brink any time soon.
The scheme is a disgusting & immoral mess & i hope the press get hold of it soon and show it up for what it is @Janet Hughes Defra
I can see no logical reason for this ???

A global food shortage will see the end of the politicians and civil servants responsible for the whole ELMS, SFI fiasco.
Remember the Arab spring, all brought about because of the price of food. Janet Hughes and her mates will be the successors of the War ag making the RSPB, Wildlife trusts and N T farm to feed the starving masses or hand the ground they have neglected over.
