Which company offers the easiest/cheapest solution for 100 acres of cereals and nothing else?

I wouldn’t bother, more hassle than it’s worth

I'd let a neighbour farm it and take it away in return for cash money in the back pocket each year.

RPA. 100ac pollen and nectar, sow, take payment, close gate, no assurance required.. or the grass option or the wild bird option..

Ease is not so much the scheme as the inspector, the schemes are all much the same…. Inspectors are luck of the draw. My regular is pretty sensible, some are hard work. Nobody wants you to fail, they want your subs again next year

plenty of sub 100ac cereal growers left...I was one ..but left and took up sheep to avoid it

'How's that going Spin?'

as said sfi looks better tbh

Forgot to mention the osr in the rotation so that's why assurance is required.
I'm taking land on rather than wanting to let it out.
Can't do scheme's on part of it so that's out too.
Just wanted a suggestion on who to use.

Is there just NSF or SAI Global available to be the inspection body? And only choice of scheme is Red Tractor.

That's because our industry representatives only wanted a single assurance scheme, and not to let us have any choice. That's why they are so powerful and can more or less just keep adding more standards all the time.

What happened to all the other firms that used to offer RT assurance?
We’ve got the Soil Association to do our FA inspection so it’s just one unproductive day not two, but the actual firm doing the assurance keeps changing. It’s SAI now, but it’s peen Acoura, PAI, SA itself and probably a few others. What’s happened to all of them?

SAI More sensible and less pedantic than CMI ime.
