[QUOTE="gloria1, post: 8159190, member: 11080"] [USER=153068]@Janet Hughes Defra[/USER], thank you for your helpful reply.However I find it very disconcerting that it takes a member of this forum to get DEFRA to relook at the wording on their schemes,if I had not mentioned it, may be the wording would have caught ambitious local nature recovery farmer schemes , locking them into land designations.I was considering LNR but now feel its being looked at too closely by Natural England to see if they can lock you into a designation. As I read the absolutely ridiculous masses of pages on SFI released yesterday it seems more and more that these schemes are far from simple and full of pitfalls(eg if herbal leys fail despite best efforts,you could be putting them in for 3 years not one).farmers will have to pay for expensive soil and Som tests,maybe herbal leys, and looking at the proforma of the soil plan will probably need expensive professional help to produce it. There is not going to be much subsidy left after paying for all of that.Sadly not simple,lots of extra costs,hidden regulations and not a great amount of subsidy. Such a lot of missed opportunities.
