I filled in online
Without enough replies we farmers and the industry will not know how low the planted acre are going to be
This plays into the hands of the trade who buy up grain before a severe shortage hits in November
Farmers who need cashflow and harvest movement get stung
They have a question on sfi uptake
They also have fallow but this does not include sfi css non crop land uses
My area of wheat from last year to this year is down more than 50%

but sfi stewardship takes out 15% of land

Or conversely give the trade more data to import earlier thus negating less substantial price rises.( The wet has effected a lot of western Europe, so it will have an impact when combines roll).

Farmers who need cash flow and harvest movement possibly did better this last year so I find it evens out over time.
Strange but it is now six months since Babet caused havoc and only now do they have concerns, have they not been listening to any farmers out there and believing them? Did they just bury their heads in the sand thinking it will still be OK later?

No, had enough of them not working for the grower.

Yes, had one here, filled out stating my displeasure at their parasitic organisation and the reasons why I put the lot into Stewardship.
