[QUOTE="D14, post: 5919956, member: 49382"] So we've had an offer which basically over the 5 years pays out at just over £200/ha/year for the land it occupies. This is all land that is currently in margins or game cover. Its field corners and around shaded woods etc and then some overwintered stubbles which we do anyway for spring cropping. I know many farmers are waiting for payments but irrelevant of that I just am not sure about joining it. The only real cost to us is some new seed mixtures and some establishment costs although they won't be drastic as it would been going into game cover anyway so we would have those costs anyway. Its been a pain to tender for it as they don't make it very easy but now we've got the offer on the table I'm just not sure even though most of the payment is going to be clear profit. Anybody else done a u turn and not joined? [/QUOTE]
