We signed up for a new 5 year Mid Tier agreement which should start this January. I'm annoyed that I have yet to hear from RPA that I have been accepted but that's another story!
Some of our CS Options require fertiliser to be applied at a specific rate (AB9 for example requires 50Kg N/ha). With the cost of fertiliser increasing dramatically the increased cost of this fertliser over 5 years is considerable. I feel this needs to be addressed. Does anyone else feel the same? One letter to the RPA from a single farmer isn't going to make a bit of difference but if many of us wrote combined with pressure from NFU, etc it *might* make a difference.
I would be interested to get some feedback on this please
