Are you there? Keep us updated if so please
Annual paymentIs that £73/ ha a year or divided by 3 for the length of the agreement?£9.84 / acre per year doesn’t seem to be worth it
Not brilliant but makes a pass with the drill ‘free’Bugger, that isn’t enough!
It doesn’t even touch the sides of what is needed.
£73/ acre is more like what is needed!
Its not enough
No-till farming New 3 years £73 per ha No-till farming techniques are used to establish crops, so soil disturbance is reduced
It's not compulsory.Its not enough
Its about time it was all rebranded too USFIDon't think sfi has ever had anything to do with food production, thats why they are paying you.
Its also not enough to encourage farmers to adopt their businesses. It only benefits the ones already doing it and on kind land. Ill reiterate my previous comments...where is the scientific evidence that no-till is more sustainable...it certainly isnt here this year!It's not compulsory.
Have some of the payment rates been increased? AHL2 now 853/ha
I drilled some NO Till into a couple of headlands with the ph combi drill, next too nothing has grownIts also not enough to encourage farmers to adopt their businesses. It only benefits the ones already doing it and on kind land. Ill reiterate my previous comments...where is the scientific evidence that no-till is more sustainable...it certainly isnt here this year!
Paying to raise water levels on arable peat land. So basically paying to take it out of production...?.
How's that help with producing food.?
No Till....with a ph combiI drilled some NO Till into a couple of headlands with the ph combi drill, next too nothing has grown
Mind all the rain hasnt helped i'll admit that. £73 ha there having a laugh.
I'll carry on cultivating land as i see fit then

Heavy land no till barely 12 hrs after 30mm.
I'll not show the pic of some WB here PH disc straight onto ploughing. Yes its costs more i get that but iam not a DD & most likely never will be neither Far too much of the wrong soil to start that carryon up here. Good luck to those who think its for themView attachment 1156690
