[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 297099, member: 1232"] gents, Theres a new thing in Wales called the Farmer Innovation Fund and basically they want to give it to projects to increase production efficiencies and improve the environment. [url]http://www.menterabusnes.co.uk/farmingconnect/farmer-innovation-fund[/url] I'm wondering if its worth trying to do something no till related, I'm sort of struggling to see how to fit something in with their criteria but would appreciate some alternative views. Off the top of my head I'm thinking about soil erosion, improving grassland production with DD cheaply, the problems with maize etc, improving lamb finishing or extending the season by means of looking at systems of cheap and not terribly time consuming ways of making no till systems fit in with farms to their benefit. Any ideas? I'm not sure if it quite fits with me personally as I know what i'm trying to do on my own place but just wondering if any of you sages think there is an opportunity to do something with such a fund? The only thing I can think of is monitoring erosion, beetle and worm numbers and soil mineral factors in a no till system at the moment. p.s. the main idea of their funds seems to be to pay "ex-spurts" but to be honest do we need them?
