[QUOTE="Cowcorn, post: 7754405, member: 107020"] Kinda looks like the whole ELMS botch is just going to be one big PITA .. I really cant understand why the Gov doesent continue paying say 100 quid an acre up to a maximium of say 150 acres them 50 quid on the next hundred and maybe a fiver for every acre after that so Guy and the rest of the " efficent " wont feel disadvantaged !!! Lots of smaller farmers supporting their communities and keeping shops ,schools, and other local business has to be the ultimate " public good " .... Not to mention the fact that producing food is hardly a minor thing . The benefits to society would be enoromous. The reason the large " efficent" operators are so down on small farmers support is because the are like sharks the have to keep gobbling up the small fry to maintain their model . If support is front loaded in favour of smaller units then maybe a lot of snaller farms might even restart farming and retire the " contract farmer " . You never know what way the ball will hop heres hoping .... [/QUOTE]
