SFI, the start of the end for arable farming?
As a young(ish) farmer and agricultural contractor the new SFI schemes are making me feel like new oppertunties for farming land will not be there. Land agents will advise farmers close to retirement to enter these schemes as opposed to letting someone else have a go and looking at the increased...- Mr Onions

Is it time to cut production ?
Well is it time? What with the bad weather reducing plantings. Is sfi being used because of uncertainty in crop prices and/ or risk aversion. The ability to import looks slightly more difficult, less planted here in Europe too! Would a simple 10/15% reduction be worth it. The less I have done...- le bon paysan

SFI for idiots
As a Scot in Scotland how does it all work. Is it competitive? I read about all these £500/ha options going in on up to 50% of some areas, surely its not that simple? On an arable farm what % could you theoretically do under the various options? We don't know what they are going to do up here...- Secret Agronomist

What is the cost of land to sequester carbon?
An open question. Normally, when selling farmers receive the agricultural value of the land plus enough to entice them to part with it. But in today's world where achieve Net Zero is the priority, and where there is less available farmland, what is the cost of land in this world? For example...- Kaisney100
