or have we taken the pee!! of a scheme that was never going to survive,,
These bigger landowners that have their own personal salmon trouser wearer will have had him employed trying to get every penny out of the system. Thats defras fault. They created the system. Even though they were told umpteen times on here this is exactly what would happen.

Just an observer here but I assume that someone has already pointed out the irony of a farming minister called Mark Spencer….?

Over here, two of our weather forecast women on tv have the names Emer Flood and Deirdre Lowe. I’m not joking. In addition our met service has as its logo and low pressure weather system.

Looking at the problem you're facing, may I ask a question. If sfi was not about what would you be doing?
Planting spring crops or going fallow.
I my humble opinion this scheme should be closed. People in it be paid as their contracts says. A new scheme should be opened next year with % rates worked out and how much to an upper limit per farm. ie £10000 max.
I am available for a small(ish) fee plus expenses.
Oh sh!t this will probably not work because there's a general election coming soon
Yup the reds will no doubt change things. They said history does show UK Ag always did quite well during Labour administration's but things can always change.
