It's hilarious how DEFRA think they can pay for options with income forgone by doing the option.

The RPA statement a few weeks back said they'd start making payments on the 20th, at least 9,000 a day......by my rough reckoning that means today is another deadline missed, (after missing end of july).......how can an organization be so inept, repeatedly? Seemingly with absolute impunity.

The payment rates used to be set according to the exchange rate in September.
Which figure from when did they choose to 'keep the budget the same'?

Second payment may well be a balancing payment depending on September rate?

It doesn't have to be level with the EU now we are not members, the government can set it at whatever they want [I think]. It would be interesting to know exactly how they chose a total budget figure, what it is and how it compares historically and to those remaining in the EU.

ours is in, but not half of expectation, better than nothing.
its just extra income, that we need to wean ourselves off.

It's not money for nothing though .
Farming and landscape management is highly regulated in the UK.

they will soon have to learn to do without it.
According to our 'might be' next pm Truss, she is going to get rid of all the EU dictated red tape, good luck on that, would love it to be true, but l will only believe it, when l see it.
Just as all the envisioned green goals, and plans, ELM, fine, great, look brilliant, but the payment rates, were calculated before many of our prices rose to their present highs. And anyone thinking of doing them, needs to think carefully about the effect, of those prices, in 5yrs time, will have on their business, for certain they will be a fixed rate, for the whole period, and based on prices, 2 years ago.

Landscape management doesn't pay any return either. Any government money for such matters struggles to pay the costs, let alone any incentive.
Furthermore, successive governments have had a consistent campaign to reduce the market derived income "productive" side of land management i.e. farming.

The UK didn't have to follow suit on a neonicotinoids ban it could have
asked for an exemption .All this blaming EU red tape is b*llsh*t we will
still be cutting hedges in Sep even if Truss gets in.

Nothing of not a lot here - I am wondering wether those who requested an exit scheme estimate (I did) are being sidelined 
So if you knocked 20% off what you had last year and then halved it , it wouldnt be nr what you have been sent now?

Unfortunate many can’t and never could look at it like that.
Not everyone farms the sort of land that produces enough to do without it.
But all is not lost if you are clever enough to use what replaces it wisely.
I've got nothing and didn't apply for the exit so I wouldn't worryNothing of not a lot here - I am wondering wether those who requested an exit scheme estimate (I did) are being sidelined
