[QUOTE="farmerm, post: 7605488, member: 7195"] Does the chaff spreader on the back of the combine count as spreading straw on 100% of cereal area :unsure: What will constitutes spreading of straw and organic matter, presumable there would be a minimum application rate? 10t/ha, 1t/ha, 1kg/ha? All the straw that I sell eventually ends up being spread on arable ground, just not mine.... I suppose the environmentally friendly option is to load manure into 30T lorries and haul back to the farms from which the straw originated. Well that's a dangerous game no one should play! Taking modest temporary payments to make a irreversible permanent changes to how you can use the land. Its like agreeing to let someone a property for 5 years and at the end of this period finding the tenant then has the right to remain with out paying rent, it collapses the value of the asset and leaves the owner with all the maintenance costs and responsibilities. It is unacceptable. [B]Not one application should be submitted by farmers or land agents without cast iron, legally binding assurances that any land put into elms options will forever remain free to be returned back to the land use it was at the start of the scheme.[/B] Basically it looks like we shall need to put up cattle sheds and go back to being mixed farmers... the solution they are really proposing is for us to produce more cattle... :scratchhead: [/QUOTE]
