I would love to know how much has been raked in by agents and consultants in the SFI/ ELMS debacle. I was told they were getting £200 for each and every potential claimant! No wonder they were pushing the schemes…and probably to keep changing them. All part of Janet’s’Co-design’ and...

I didn’t know that. I was on a shortlist for a NT farm tenancy many years ago, and was going to have to dance to too many tunes for them…so I pulled out.I have heard nothing but bad news about them since.

I wonder whether NT have changed their mind after March 25th? Let’s hope they come crawling back to you in the next few days. It might be an opportunity to improve your tenancy agreement.

Janet has had a few days, and a lot of civil servants, to find some way of putting a spin on it. If they haven’t been too busy celebrating their boss’s knighthood!

Yes @topground , you have got me nervous now. Has there been a data leak/transfer from TFF offices?

Well spotted! I do hope Janet reads the small print! I promise that after any visit( not Inspection !),any penalty for her turning up on the wrong day would be proportionate ,and only imposed after encouragement (not legal threats).Apparently, she isn’t on this forum any longer. Her use of it...

Possibly not….because it’s Good Friday and she will probably be on holiday. But she did say she’d be back on Friday, and she had been telling us a lot about ‘light touch’ and how this new scheme would be a result of ‘Co-design’. I suggest we start getting excited about Friday April 7th...

The irony of Janet returning to this Forum on a Friday!

If it isn’t yielding like the rest of the field, I suggest it is the farmers job to discover the reasons. My fields average less than 20 acre,and consequently have an even greater proportion of land lost to that 2m zone. I have not remotely enjoyed the experience of being unable to farm 3% of my...

2/3rds of an acre in that 2m strip…..if the field is 20 acres!

I reckon our very own Janet ( who said she would return to this forum on Friday), has allowed him to use so many of his buzzwords that I suspect she actually wrote the letter!!

She might get a bonus when she returns, ‘as promised’(well she said it, so I believed it)…….on Friday! Come on Janet…. do it for Christmas!

Also, they will be demonstrating “light touch”, so nothing to worry about.

I hope he / she doesn’t disappear like the last one from a Government Agency.

You are spot on with that! Janet’s “light touch” statements, and everything she has said meeting and greeting anybody and everybody, mean absolutely nothing. I would go as far as saying, it’s all been a waste of time and money. If I say “I will be back on Friday”……I bloody well am back on...
