Virtually all of the English farming support has been hijacked by environmentalists with little or no interest in feeding our nation or sustaining English farmers, what do these idiots care if food becomes expensive to the poorest in our society just as long as they get their jollies at the weekends!To claim BPS, you had to be an active farmer.
The more I read about ELMS, it seems that they wish to exclude active farmers.
The current scheme shows no initiative, it does nothing for farming and can therefore be in no way be considered sustainable. It fails as a SFI.
I just find it very sad that a once in a lifetime opportunity to make British agriculture successful, financially and environmentally, is being wasted.
Anybody who thinks Defra are capable of administering this monster of a scheme & be able to get the payments out on time is living in a fairy tale land, they struggle to cope with the very simple schemes we have at the moment, this is quite obviously heading for a complete disaster with only one loser, us the food producers of our country!
