[QUOTE="livestock 1, post: 5974284, member: 106502"] I have been reading your thoughts and experiences with great interest and they seem to make alot of sense . What perplexes me is how uk grassland farmers could use your good advice when the industry appears to wish to go down the route of accepting payments for not applying the very basic inputs of lime , maintaining drainage ,maintenance fert ,seeds etc etc and see this as a way forward , my experience is that you cant have it both ways and with these payments you are working with one arm tied behind your back before you have even started .[/QUOTE] It was around 2001 the stewardship agreement offerings appeared shedding a whole new light on hill farming in the area I’m in. Only 20 years earlier grants were available for land improvement and lime then came the complete reversal schemes not allowing lime [/QUOTE]
