[QUOTE="7610 super q, post: 7675041, member: 6448"] Interesting thread. I tried to find out the average farm size on here, but failed miserably. Google suggests the average size is 200 acres, but that must surely include the hobby/ good life / horsey farms ? If it is the case there must be more [USER=6448]@7610 super q[/USER] 's about than Clive's.... I'm in Wales, so have no clue whatsoever about future payments, green or not. Current SFP is negligible, but does pay for a S/H implement every second year. Every operation [B][I]has [/I][/B]to pay. No selling hay and straw for £15/ bale. No room for major machinery repairs. Other income streams a must. Wouldn't touch SFI type schemes with a bargepole. No contact with WAG/ Farming Connect for 15 years. Long may it continue. IMO these schemes & Farming Connect should be boycotted. We need to draw a line in the sand. £30-70 / acre payments are not acceptable in the 21st Century. [/QUOTE]
