[QUOTE="Bracklandbarn, post: 7371897, member: 20576"] With the best intentions in the world, the retirement package will only work if farmers [I]want [/I]to retire. For many of these “stubborn” types it is a way of life, whether they have seen any profit in the job is immaterial, they would have to be carted out in a box to stop farming. With the reduction in BPS, I naively thought that once these “old” farmers on AHA tenancies lost the very BPS payment that was propping up their rent money (or for some CC farms covering it 😕) then it may encourage them to surrender their tenancy if the holding was going to cost them money to farm. From where I’m standing right now in my career, the retirement package offer is a complete poke In the eye to people trying to get on the farming ladder. Any farmer who was thinking of surrendering a tenancy in the next four years will now sit it out, waiting to find out what incentives are thrown their way first?? [/QUOTE]
