[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7402987, member: 166"] If there is £94/acre [BPS] less in the pot that is divided between farmer and contractor then both parties will have to live on less. Perhaps with less money there will be less spent on advisors/agents. IMO with less guaranteed income I.e. no annual lump sum from Brussels, there will be more land available needing specialist management to establish and manage ELMS options with some smaller area of agricultural production. I think this will be an exciting time to be looking to collaborate with others. Anyone trying to eke a living from marginal land is going to have to seriously reconsider how they achieve this. Maybe they will just cease food production and provide natural capital instead? Plant trees, impound flood water and provide habitat for pollinators may well provide a better more reliable income, as long as they are prepared to have poor cash flow if the RPA run further in arrears. Someone has to manage these options. The 2005 Mid Term Review was seen as a topper farmers charter but never actually worked out that way. Is this a possibility again now? [/QUOTE]
