But if they were to " just press play " there wouldn't be any jobs for the boysThere’s just no intelligence involved. If I’d a 40 acre farm it might well make sense to put 100% of it into pollinator mix. If I’ve a 4000 acre estate on prime wheat growing land then really I ought to be putting none of it into SFI. This arbitrary 25% figure is a nonsense really, an incredibly blunt instrument and just shows up the folly of trying to design a complex one size fits all detailed scheme. BPS allowed the farmer to do what he knew was best. £80/acre was set about right to stop production on marginal land but carry on on 4t per acre wheat land. It worked so they had to screw it up. They didn’t listen.
