10% Forestry in Wales
- Thread starter Derrick Hughes
- Start date
Have our politicians decided that food is to be a luxury?
10% of your farm to be planted with trees if you want to claim subsidy! New Welsh farm support scheme majors on tree planting © Harvey Hudson/Adobe Stock Farmers in Wales will need to have at least 10% of their land planted with trees if they want a baseline payment from the new Sustainable...

I for one won't be claiming
And they want more!
Won't claim then. It's been a roller coaster here for 30 years. £20k one minute, nothing the next, then £3k........
Potential to lose £4k / acre land value, just to claim £70/ acre per year.
Fed up with the whole thing by 2006. Way past caring now.
WAG slowly, but surely, turning into a EU mini-me.

Tbf, these are just the 'Outline Proposals'. According to the co-design email I've received...
Believe that if you will.

Believe that if you will.
And how will tenants get on ? And landlords come to that...........

As I read it, albeit quickly, the RPW proposals are for 10% cover of trees (including existing, and presumably hedges) on ALL farms in the ‘universal’ requirements.

that and sending them all your pesticide and antibiotic records as i read it in the base requirements?

I expect landlords will be required to allow tenants to plant trees, devaluing their capital asset immediately.
Another requirement is to have a certain area of ponds too.
And another, put in especially for the ploughmen, is that no ground is to be left without a green cover over winter. That’s the end of the dinosaur’s ideas of overwinter ploughing I suppose.

I didn’t see that, only a requirement to keep records… and an integrated pest management (IPM) plan.
Soil testing will also be needed, on a par with the English scheme.

Ah ok sorry, but isn't that already a legal requirement to keep pesticide records?

Unequivocal proof that the Taffia have absolutely no clue whatsoever about any thing to do with agriculture.
In fact unequivocal proof that the Taffia haven’t a clue about anything whatsoever that happens anywhere north of Cardiff.
Hard to know who are the biggest laughing stock, the Tories in Westminster or the Taffia in Cardiff. All bloody lunatics.

We might as well pack up now. The taffia will be setting maximum food prices and the proportion to be given to food banks soon.
Best not give the idiots ideas!

Last week they destroyed tourism with their half baked leftie ideas.........and now this week....Agriculture. They obviously know what's going on in Ukraine, to have been the first to offer accommodation to immigrants. Yet they choose to ignore the up coming food crisis due to hampered grain exports.....
No market that I know of for home grown timber ( biomass ?? ), so how do they expect us to make a living from the 10% forestry ? Will we even be allowed to harvest the trees in future anyway ?Crackers.
