Does anyone have a simple programme that allows any farmer to input his or her circumstances and it spits out suggested actions for highest financial return per hectacre without loss of farmed land or live stock?
Haven't the bureaucrats designed the scheme to ensure you need pay a consultant for their services?Does anyone have a simple programme that allows any farmer to input his or her circumstances and it spits out suggested actions for highest financial return per hectacre without loss of farmed land or live stock?

Easy. If it is worth many thousands of pounds to your business, don't spend the money on consultants. Instead, do the work yourself & spend the time working out how to follow the process.Haven't the bureaucrats designed the scheme to ensure you need pay a consultant for their services?
After all, it's not about improving wildlife biodiversity and supporting agriculture, it's about ensuring paper pushers continue contributing to their pension pot
"spend the time"Easy. If it is worth many thousands of pounds to your business, don't spend the money on consultants. Instead, do the work yourself & spend the time working out how to follow the process.
I never understood why farmers hired agents to do their BPS/SPS/IACS forms. It was the highest paying job on the farm in terms of £/hour.
There are so many sources of good information available for free now, why not just do it yourself?
My hard drive up top is now so chock a block full of crap there's just no room to absorb any more of this stuff without busting it. I'm leaving it to an agentEasy.

What a brilliant idea , but that would make the job far to simple and that is obviously not what the gov wants ...Does anyone have a simple programme that allows any farmer to input his or her circumstances and it spits out suggested actions for highest financial return per hectacre without loss of farmed land or live stock?

Well I think the OP is spot on when he says you want some calculator you can just put what you have at min into it and it throws you some examples of what you could do and values ,it’s not difficult to work out anyway
nothing complex about sfi when you actually go through application and handbook

maybe easy to you who is always onto this kind of stuff but to Ur average serf like moi it just puts you off from the offset ....
You may find this hard to believe, but I’m actually looking forward to getting stuck into my Sfi application!"spend the time"
"follow the process"
Really?
These schemes have been designed with deliberation to ensure the application process is complicated. The knowledge of which combination of options generates the best likelihood of success is a closely guarded secret, and varies between assessing rural payments "officers"
Farm subsidies have always supported processors and retailers, not the primary producers. In this post brexit era, consultancies and civil servants know that if their livelihoods are to continue, subsidies must also now generate ever more work for them. Hence the ever more convoluted, time consuming, totally opaque application, assessment and inspection processes they produce
Anyone who thinks otherwise is even more deluded than voters who think electric cars and culling cow farts will save the planet
Depends I suppose on your own attitude.Easy. If it is worth many thousands of pounds to your business, don't spend the money on consultants. Instead, do the work yourself & spend the time working out how to follow the process.
