[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 8782519, member: 23184"] We have 40% stewardship. With removal of neonics I can imagine lots of arable farms doing stewardship. Finger in the air, could be 20+%??? I can see it affecting supply and hence prices. Will it affect cereal tonnage? Not as much as it will OSR area. Biggest hit will be to AHDB income and supply trade income. We've cut out OSR, have less land available for local spud, carrot and maize growers, we've also cut out second cereals on the sand land, so less barley and less straw. If we become a net importer, then theoretically our prices jump £30/t..That said, there could be a jump in first cereals and glut of feed wheat? Solar, stewardship and digesters are taking land at a scale which will affect food supply (and hence prices). 100% stewardship, solar or let for AD silage means no Red Tractor nonsense to deal with 🙂. Slippers on, feet up, could get a job for a hobby, more leisure time. It's appealing. [/QUOTE]
