I had a look on the report yesterday the top might have been £2450 then down a lot from there looked like they were sensible cheap enough to pick some up
Anyone with farmland be that rented or owned that claimed bps can claim it
But if you are a big estate with expensive employees, you keep the gardener sack the rest & plant the land to bird seed etc, plenty of pheasant food so it's a no brainer.
Rewilding and peatland restoration on the hill and letting the inbye grass. They’ve got £2.5 million from Scotgov to do it.
Any place run by land agents the livestock is gone.

you can be sure anything close to making up the shortfall and rents will go up ! these winter birdfood mixes and the peatland payments will be a no brainer for landlords with suitable land ,

I wonder how long it will be before the government runs out of money for all these bullsh!t herbal and legume schemes.

What else are they going to do with the mega-funds that they used to send to Brussels for distribution to the Euro masses?
At least we've got control of it now!

What's bulls**t about the GS4 scheme?! High quality grazing/silage, great feed value and high protein, and very workable conditions re grazing/mowing times. Plus get paid for it. If anyone is growing temporary grass in a rotation you'd be mad not to.

It’s 50% less than usual crop wise though

The question you have to ask is (and I said this months ago and was totally shot down for doing so) if these herbal leys were any use then why haven’t farmers and agricultural colleges been using and promoting them before now?
That leaves the money available for doing it that’s the real only incentive and that payment is taken partly or completely back by decline in production.
Which gets back to that’s what they want for whatever reason that is

It will cost a bit but it is a price worth paying to save the environment
