[QUOTE="Macsky, post: 7466659, member: 44120"] My experience differs. A lot of the fencing I did was grant funded, and therefor I was more or less guaranteed payment for it, next to none of it involved replacing perfectly serviceable fencing, that’s not really allowed anyway. The value to the taxpayer comes in the form of affordable and dependable food supplies, and keeps cash flowing through other associated businesses and their employees, such as, in the case of fencing, forestry harvesters/sawmills/wire & hardware manufacturers/hauliers/merchants....... I am very grateful for the funding that has been available, and am only amazed and frustrated that not more use of it has been made, especially where townships have been eligible for 80%+ funding, a far cry for how they were treated in the not too distant past! (Currently reading James Hunter’s ‘The Making of the Crofting Community’) I have always tried to avoid criticism/jealousy of those who seem particularly able to ‘play the system’, as, either way,it has kept money coming into the Highlands, where goodness knows it isn’t too easy to come by!
