[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6356788, member: 348"] I have only planted or gapped up hedges where I want to create more shelter, where I’ve wanted to join up a wildlife corridor for bats, or where I want to improve biosecurity against a neighbour’s. I certainly wouldn’t have entertained it anywhere else. As it is, certainly for Glastir in Wales, if you can make it work for you, then it’s money for old rope. For the unsprayed roots for example, I would be growing anyway. The scheme means I get paid £200/ac for doing so. I also have 40ac of old parkland in ‘low N pasture’, which wouldn’t utilise any more than the 50kg N/ha I’m allowed to put on anyway. Enviro schemes can be made to work, if they can fit in. The new Welsh proposals look like much the same type of thing, but with higher payments to create incentives (or that’s what we were told). Without a doubt though, we will have to be more flexible and adapt to it, much as we have (as an industry) every time support has been reformed previously. [/QUOTE]
