One day the land may come out of green belt and be developed but in my opinion that won’t happen in my wife’s lifetime.Meanwhile the fields are not stock proof and grassland worn out, so a farmer has...

    Killing off docks

    I have made the mistake of spreading horse dung, that was riddled with docks, in one of my fields. What would you suggest is the best way to kill them off? I would like to keep it as grass for hay.

    Extend Existing Countryside Stewardship or Wait for ELMS?

    What are peoples thoughts on this? The extension would be paid the new rates which for my own scheme equals about -9% which is pretty crappy. If I took the extension and things don't pan out financially can I terminate without penalty at the end of a completed year?

    What ELMS is really for ……….

    BPS is removed. ELMS arrives and some farms sign up to it in desperation. You are tied into a one sided legal document where the rules can be changed by Defra/Gov. The Gov then say any farmers in ELMS cannot trade carbon because the ELMS agreement won’t allow you. Basically you’ve entered...

    30 years of environmental stewardship wasted

    Actually 31 years since we entered 12% of our farm into the original Countrywide Stewardship scheme. That 12% remains out of production today but now in Mid Tier. It’s seen various name changes of the scheme over the years such as ELS, HLS, ESS, CS - I’ve lost count to be honest but it matters...
