[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 7269581, member: 3169"] Hi, an exit/retirement scheme was mooted and an option for member states under the EU CAP reforms that brought about the Single Payment Scheme introduced in 2005, and again when EU directive changed SPS to Basic Payment Scheme in 2015, so the concept is not new. Defra has considered for several years that the business structure of Agriculture is ossified, hinders new entrants and the 'promotion' of junior partners thus slows / blocks adoption of technical change. Just in 2005 and again in 2015 Defra didn't tackle what is a difficult issue to manage with the farming community bit also with the general public, particularly as for the next 10 years the taxpayer is going to have to fund Covid. And any current student with a student loan would think 'what the hell is UK government doing paying farmers a lump sum'. I wait with great interest how Defra / Conservative Party is going to package this in light of a headline in The Daily Mail and letters to MPs from the general public. [/QUOTE]
