[QUOTE="sahara, post: 7422837, member: 76228"] It certainly has potential, but when I read through the mechanics of the scheme process it talks of farmers bidding to provide the environmental goods, to me this suggests playing one farmer provider against another, in a race to drive the price down. My take is, if you as big business want to salve your conscience by me planting hedges on your behalf, then break out the cheque book, I don't want crumbs I want a fat chunk of the loaf! The whole Red Tractor debacle has given me a real insight of how the positives of our industry have been hijacked by big business for their own commercial gains, leaving us (Agriculture ) with any blame, and just the crumbs of the money involved. Its time to get more awkward, organised and not to be afraid of telling others to pay a proper price for what they are getting. [/QUOTE]
