[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 7434196, member: 699"] It may of course have the opposite effect. If you look at the "unsubsidised" countries of the world which are also the least "regulated" then the effect will be to increase production in the short term. My thinking is that there will be significant changes in the livestock sector and less in the arable areas. Arable farming will continue to move into very large units with full economies of scale. The best land will be put into maximum production using every tool in the box, including robots. The less productive will be assessed for planting trees or using for growing crops for wildlife. ELMS will not be a high priority for the large arable units. Livestock will go to two extremes, the highly intensive using very little land and so not bothered by ELMS, Dairying, Pig production and feedlot beef. The extensive which will use the land as a resource for water storage and landscape enhancement which will keep livestock on as scenic benefit. There will be better management of the access routes and those farmers who provide this service for the people to go into the countryside will be well paid to maintain the footpaths and offer additional areas for horse riding and dog exercise. This will be in areas which are already grassland, such as hills and downland and some designated sites. [/QUOTE]
