[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7357331, member: 2119"] I think it needs a longer term strategic rethink. I have sprayed a lot of steep ground for neighbours and by the end of winter there are always some rills cut down it especially on the end rig tramlines. You can see the fertiliser and herbicide has washed all over the place. Why they carried on risking it ( or me and my machine) I’ll never know and I ended up refusing to spray it. In some ways the single payment encourages the cropping of a lot of completely unsuitable ground, maybe necessary in a war but not so much now. If ELMS results in reversion of steeper non products ground into more sustainable use it won’t be a bad thing. It really needs to be woodland or sympathetically managed PP. [/QUOTE]
