[QUOTE="BrianV, post: 8145610, member: 150008"] Hi Janet I appreciate what you have said but what worries me is Defra appear to have no interest whatever in the survival of smaller livestock & hill farms where this well intentioned ELMS scheme will make very little impact in relieving the dramatic loss of income when the SFP comes to an end. It's all very well for larger farms to sacrifice areas of land to wildlife but smaller farms cannot spare enough land to make ELMS worthwhile. I fear you are condemning the backbone of large parts of our countryside to a very miserable future which will eventually come back to haunt you big time, surely you can convince your idiotic masters that a base safety net acreage payment is the only way to secure the viability of smaller hill & livestock farms? Permanent pasture is all very nice but on smaller livestock farms cannot always be kept as rotation of crops is often essential. [/QUOTE]
