    Net Zero - its over.

    Another nail in the expensive coffin. The equivalent of sub prime mortgages. I’ve saying for years that planting trees is rubbish unless you chop them down in 20 years and shove them in a coal mine...

    Did you just Did you just attach photos? Or embed them within a pdf or document? In the past when I attached photos, the RPA email system didn’t work and was advised to send in as a pdf.

    My bad. It must be one claim at a time, but when it takes them months to pay it does feel like an eon.

    I think you can only submit one claim in any 90 day period. May be worth checking.

    I’m 2 weeks and counting for my GS2 and 1000m of hedge planting- gapping up claim on the old payment rate. About to start putting in water troughs. I recall there being a 2-3 month delay last year but may have been because their email system didn’t like the format of my supporting evidence...

    Dartmoor wild camping

    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/13/dartmoor-estate-landowner-alexander-darwall-court-case-right-to-camp A surprising outcome! TBF I would not want random people camping on my farm without permission as much as wealthy town folk don’t want me crapping on their front lawns.

    Sustainable Farming Incentive is open for applications

    But his sample of 100 is skewed as they are more likely to be involved in CS… 2% is about right for the “less than 2000” farms. The whole thing stinks.

    Sustainable Farming Incentive is open for applications

    “These schemes were developed to replace the EU’s old subsidy system for farmers, which paid according how much land they managed” technically incorrect tho? Surely it is to replace CS which is why I cannot apply due to double funding rules on cover cropping.

    Anyone know how long before you hear regarding putting land into stewardship

    I wrote to my MP who actually responded and @Janet Hughes Defra privately messaged me and managed to work out what the hold ups were. I managed to get a response by mid January and confirmed delivery date for my hedge plant order an hour later.
