[QUOTE="Hawkes, post: 7675082, member: 5094"] 1.Yes I have been asked to join the pilot. 2. We can manage without it, as have off farm enterprises. 3. At the rates being shown and the level of faff and expense required to get it, I am not sure I will bother at all. 4. 5 years time, grass let to young keen sheepish folk, arable use more contractors and my children can decide. It is difficult to know if worth being part of the pilot even, I have spent a couple of days trying to get my head around the pages of waffle only to see such meagre payments and not inconsiderable expense necessary to get them, I am unsure about how useful it will be to continue. The £5k on offer is now only for the first year, to be "reviewed" second year. ( that means reduced) . I listened to a zoom presentation last week as part of the process and it was deeply unimpressive. The best question asked by one attendee started with " Have any of you actually ever been on a farm? " . That must have got a wry laugh from every person watching. [/QUOTE]
