    Defra now looking at capping SFI

    Yes what i meant by that was that Brexit allowed the government to dream up the SFI etc. All the extra financial problems the country now has, happened after they dreamt SFI up and so wont have been factored in to the sums. It was a very different world 12 months after Brexit.

    Defra now looking at capping SFI

    We are chucking hundreds of millions of cash in to Ukraine which isnt going to stop any time soon, and probably other countries now in the middle east. Train drivers, doctors, teachers (you name it) are on strike for more money, if we arent in a recession now we soon might be so taxes may be...

    Defra now looking at capping SFI

    My thoughts exactly. You just need to get the fixed costs down. Problem is when the 3 year agreement is up and Defra have stopped SFI and you have to start farming again with out any kit and labour on a weed infested farm. Just looking on the bright side:ROFLMAO:

    Yes exactly, the more vague the requirements the more leaway to pull money back. I am certain the gov don't have the funds for this and that is exactly what they will do, I am sure of it. DEFRA are not to be trusted.

    Defra now looking at capping SFI

    I'm not sure how wise it is to plant up the farm with trees, i suppose it depends to a degree on the type of farm. I certainly wouldn't do it. Terrible for the tenants who farmed it and had to leave.

    Defra now looking at capping SFI

    This is what caught my eye: Mark Spencer's words copied from the article: "If people start to take the mickey, then we will have to take action to stop that from happening, and there is some active consideration as to whether we limit the amount of a holding that you can put into that scheme...

    Defra now looking at capping SFI

    maybe but they are doing their best to keep the costs as low as possible. Nigel Huddleston mp went to my sons school a few weeks ago and when asked if the government were going to continue to support farmers to secure our domestic food supply as BPS helped to do he ridiculed the BPS and then...

    Defra now looking at capping SFI

    Did anyone go to this meeting in Norfolk? Looks like its going to cost too much and they are back tracking ? I personally dont think its to do with too much land being taken out by farmers taking the mickey, or food security - i think they have just realised how much is going to / could cost and...

    It is Bionic yes. They are disgraceful and just arent interested. What do you mean they have to hand over their commission?

    Farm Electricity Renewal

    Hi, I was wondering if anybody had been automatically entered into an electricity contract by a broker. We have just been entered into a contract. They said they sent notification by email but we didn't receive anything They said we cant get out of it as we didn't opt out of the emails they...

    Have a giggle

    So how much rent would they have to pay to entertain letting them put their horses on the field? There's got to be a realistic figure that might be tempting.

    Digital Combinable Crop passports

    I agree. At least it negates any problem with the phone like no signal or if you dropped it in a puddle just before the lorry arrived.
