New limits to SFI.
- Thread starter Yale
- Start date
Do the guys who reject loads of barley on a Friday worry over the weekend that the load is going back to farm Monday morning.

Met in Dubai to tackle climate change sounds very modest of them and hypocritical30 by 30: a boost for nature recovery

I’d say that half of Madagascars rainforest that has been felled to increase palm oil production is hypocritical also.

No that wasn’t the discussion. It was what we have to do versus what others don’t do
If I were you I would have a think about it there’s an awful lot we do that’s lost time not producing Tb testing was just one example the list is endless
I’ve been TB testing our cattle for 52 years now as government after government feck about protecting badgers whilst claiming they have a grand plan to make England TB free, no other country in the world would put up with the shisters we have in Westminster.
Far from saving badgers they have by not tackling the disease in badgers properly whilst it was contained in the far South West condemned badgers all over the country to an eventual death.

So is it me, or has their hasty calculation been as follows….
£862/ha for wild bird seed mix
X 25% = £215.15/ha
Or £87.21/ac.
So 25% of the area into such options equals the same payment as the old BPS income for the holding.
Albeit SFI involves spending money to achieve that payment.
It also involves relinquishing that 25% area from commercial cropping.
It also doesn’t take into account the areas of non-arable land which the BPS budget also paid out ~£80/ac for.

Yes but you can claim IPM4 on the farm, SAM1 plus Sam2 on some all as well. They haven’t thought it through at all. And thats before we get the summer goodies of payments for direct drilling, variable rate fertilisers etc. just imagine that little lot stacked up. There were a few on here doing the sums a few weeks ago. Clearly never enough cash.

The LFA land is on the other side of the equation, funding it all.

Yes absolutely correct you can’t even recoup the bps on lfa while arable gets double the payment or 4x as above

All costs time which equals money...J
what’s that paperwork cost you, a lot less than faffing about with one sheep. that bit of regulation is hardly the difference between profit and loss is it
And if they come inspecting 3 years down the line ( and long after that one sheep has ended up at the slaughterhouse ) and you do not have those 5 pieces of A4 for that one sheep all hell will break out and the next thing you will know is that they are fining you or worse stopping you from trading.
