[QUOTE="Mixedupfarmer, post: 6587877, member: 70220"] I'm not so sure, its only £200/ha for three years, and I know the arable farm will save a fair few fixed costs, but even so I would have thought three spring crops of any type would earn more than that? We run a mixed farm, and have done some figures on a similar line, and at the time thought £200/ha was the maximum we could pay for a sheep grass ley on other peoples land, and concluded that it wasn't going to be enough to tempt farms to tie up land for 3 or 4 years. If the farmer could put his field(s) into GS4 or similar, it would be more viable financially [/QUOTE]
