[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 6356754, member: 818"] Thats the issue with all these proposed new environmental payments, there has to be an element of 'profit' on them, otherwise its not worth signing up to. Its no good just offering grants to plant new hedges for example, as there's no money in a new hedge once its growing, indeed it costs you money. There would have to be a grant to plant it AND an ongoing maintenance payment that paid more than the cost of maintenance, otherwise why would anyone do it? Or the maintenance payment would have to be profitable enough that people would invest their own money in putting in new hedges as there would be a return on that investment. [/QUOTE]
