[QUOTE="devonbeef, post: 7890047, member: 105642"] The other thing i would like to add is a 150/200 acre typical livestock farm in my area can not afford to have land out off production or lesson its earning ability by be involved in measures to let the land become less productive.The hedges and a few rough steep corners yes the rest no.Quite simply on a small farm you have to keep the output up to make a living from it.There is no slack, i need x number of cattle reared and finished every single year to pay the bills, you cant run on half measures unless payment figures make up the difference. Most people do not have time to play around sorting out extra hurdles to jump as will required by all these new schemes, We are spending all our time looking after stock to make sure losses are kept to a minimum, and keeping on top of the vast number of different aspects which have to be carried out when running a business on extremely slim margins.
