Everyone else is doing that while 'working from home' so why can't we?
Surely, a life as a roaming shepherd would appeal more???See, enough folk like you and the budget will fit. My plan gives a claim of 120% of our BPS 2020 but that comes before not insignificant costs, takes a whopping 50% of the farm out of production (but the least profitable/loss making part and should increase profitability on the other part) All in all it means a budget that looks financially far worse than 2020 but for us looks the least worst option, perhaps only beatable by letting out the lot and retraining to be a full time plumber
I'll have a Shropshire Gold, and jobs a good 'un...Don't forget drinking Guinness at the same time too

maybe but they are doing their best to keep the costs as low as possible. Nigel Huddleston mp went to my sons school a few weeks ago and when asked if the government were going to continue to support farmers to secure our domestic food supply as BPS helped to do he ridiculed the BPS and then said it was a complete waste of tax payers money. They cant have it all ways can they.

I doubt that there is sufficient takeup of SFI to put any strain on the budget in fact my money is on there being a significant underspend.
The political realisation that paying food producers not to produce food is madness with the current uncertainty regarding world peace and that the public won’t want to dine on wild flowers and woodchip means it is dawning on Spencer and his chums that they have got it wrong.
Having got it wrong, the excuse for changing the scheme will be that those who have signed up for the scheme are taking the mickey by signing up for the scheme.
SFI won’t last beyond the change in government and the change in thinking across the EU as a consequence of farmer protests.
It may be dawning on the policy makers that they are years behind the curve as usual. Janet Hughes is probably being told now to find ways of backtracking on the SFI scheme to provide real support for food production and a few empty supermarket shelves would hurry that along nicely,

Yes, concurr. But the IACS 26 and 27 application process does contain quite specific rules on people associated with an SBI.
the plumbing would be enjoyable but dealing with (some ) of the people/customers would not be fun .Surely, a life as a roaming shepherd would appeal more???

It won't be long before food is short and DEFRA will be scrapping all these schemes !!
It's utter madness not being self sufficient in food.
Importing over 40% of the UKs food is bonkers.
Haven't the government learnt from the oil, gas and electric shambles of the last few years? It will only take a war or a failed world harvest to make us all hungry.

It took from 1922 to 1938 for the government to change its farming support the last time they cut farming support completely during the great betrail most of the farmers in 1922 did not survive that long

tbh, its done its main job of keeping a lot of civil servants and consultants in jobs for the last few years.
Its utter madness not being self sufficient in food, energy, steel, toilet roll etc...
