this will affect the whole industry either directly or indirectly unless farm products rise in value and make it uncompetitiveWhy would the land owner take ÂŁ30 when they could take land back and just put it down to environmental scheme/ flowers.
Plenty of old gear about. I agree the future doesn’t seem particularly rosy but I would have thought a 500ac tenanted farm should be ok especially if some is on aha…Yes but it still wont be enough reflect the loss of bps.

Bloody hope so as I’m primarily a tenant farmer
Exactly 100 years ago the UK repealed the Agriculture Act that protected UK farming. I am not trying to compare then and now but its interesting reading what happened the last time UK agriculture had to "stand on its own two feet". It took about ten years for UK agriculture to get into such a state that tariffs were reintroduced on imports and the marketing boards created to protect farmers.

40% of our farm allready in stewardship. I don't like it, but guaranteed income, more wildlife, less weather risk, less price risk, less machinery and labour cost, more time for family.

If they are going to do that then you should get the grazing for a nominal fee don’t you think as you won’t be able to do much farming and the gs4 will require maintenance?This
I’ve got two substantial arable FBT landlords scrambling to get into their own mid tier schemes wanting to blanket the land with GS4, grab the remaining bps and expect me to pay a rent on top if I want to keep it. Very serious situation for us.
A healthy amount of docks in the seed bank will almost permanently write off the chances of successfully establishing flowers or bird mix. And as the seeds can remain viable in the soil for 70 years or more you might not even know they're lying in wait. Ask me how I knowWhere’s all the seed coming from for options like GS4. And I bet there’s a price hike .
I’ve put in a wildlife offer, but been cautious on the amount of land . One small block of bird bee mix I’ve done is now swamped with wild oats, so these things aren’t bullet proof .
I agree, but its the loss of 20-25% of my arable land and BPS that will be painful for my overheads and cash flow.If they are going to do that then you should get the grazing for a nominal fee don’t you think as you won’t be able to do much farming and the gs4 will require maintenance?
I didn’t think you could harvest it or fertilise it . Is that both years or just at the end .Wall to wall gs4; digestate; sell one big cut; grazier in to tidy up is looking the zero-cost best option. Lump sum exit scheme and pass the running to a relative.
