Bank invite for enviroment course/surveys

[Still Farming]

Bet banks love it when lend money on agriculture land and farmers sign up to these sfi and tree planting incentives that instantly devalues the land???

Sounds like lots of others have, we have a OD facility we rely on and sounds like it may be something people have no choice but to do soon if you want any sort of borrowings.

*MAY*

Until you have a gun to your head, tell them to pee off.

So, do the reported results give you more or less confidence in survival of your business model? Have you formulated a plan to address the overdraft, should they react to the report in the feared manner. How do you see the future in light of the above?

See @Flossie 's post #42 above.

....mind you, that's easy for me to say, as I've reached the point in life where I no longer need an OD facility.

Finally had my results back it has shown that I can provide 4250 people with 1 litre of milk/day and a fair bit of their daily beef requirement for the same amount of carbon that 75 would use flying return from UK to Australia, and if that’s not aggravating enough, because I don’t have a single footpath on the farm I only scored 1/5 on ‘social’ and that has the same weighting as my 4.5/5 on animal welfare or 3.7/5 on water quality. Baffling.

That sounds like an enormous amount of rubbish.

I expected nothing less from the soil association to be honest.

I am hoping a billion or so hungry people cause the muppets that are making all these stupid decisions to realise that people eating healthy, balanced diets is far more important than people topping up their tan in Barbados or flying to Australia for a two week jolly.

If this isn’t the case hopefully some rich investor will see what a terrible job I am doing scoring such a low score on a fantastically accurate platform and pay me to stop being a dairy farmer and ‘sell’ the gains to people who want to fly to Australia.
