I know .........It’s Sustainable Farm Incentive Scheme
Is it new , ELMS , CSS , or a combination , another scheme offering lots but producing naff all .
It's quite simple.
With CSS you get paid to leave overwintered stubble.
With ELMS you get paid not to leave overwintered stubble.
Ergo, conduct a referendum of your birds to see which they prefer, and Bob's your uncle

I thought they were short of cash for hospitals etc. They'll throw millions at newts and bats etc. while we wait years for a hip op. Did anybody ever get taught how to prioritise at school.

please non of the "if you cant make money give someone els a go" tribe jump in im talking proper that takes a business forward money not 20k a year aswell as 2 other jobs to substitute my "hobby". I think id rather farm without any restrictions than get 10k a year for "following the rules"

if we have to apply to different quango's or defra for fences or reseeding planting or .... or taking a crap we no longer own the farm even if we do... we will have effectively given up our farms to chase a pittance for what ?
And….will land that isn’t tied in to these schemes (for an obviously indeterminate period) , command a premium in future?
Your "Elms and Critical Mass" document is a very pertinent piece, but will be ignored by farming and Govt/DEFRA. More fool farming...
I was thinking along the same lines last week with reference to your first para. on critical mass. It is something many of us have or will experience sooner than we like.
