Dog walker this morning comes over the stile with a loose dog into a field with 3 escapees in it. He walks up the field with the dog loose and throws a Frisbee for it startling the 3 wild sheep into a corner of the field. I shouted to get the dog on the lead and stomped all the way up the field...

2 tractors

It’s been briefly discussed on various SFI threads but has anyone been able to make any headway with RPA about transferring options from a CS agreement to SFI ?
Details are rapidly emerging which show the NFU backed greening module aims to fulfill supermarket environmental commitments by robbing farmers of their livelihoods
The NFU is backing a 20% reduction of red meat, and a cut in British food production of 50%

Just had an email reminding me my subscription is due for renewal. £505 for three years.
Is this the best price and what are your thoughts on renewing?
I'm livid about this, and I hope British Farming Union will hold NFU, RT, AHDB and the other farming unions to account over it.

When are we all expecting stewardship payment? Last year was December 6th, previously always 1st or 2nd dec. So far no Preparing for Payment update, although hopefully that may change this week. I'm not sure how we're all meant ti trust the RPA or run a business when their payment timings are...
