[QUOTE="steveR, post: 8206936, member: 66976"] Sad but true from my conversation with their staff at events... Rather sad that I missed JH speaking and she was not on the Stand when I passed by this week at groundswell. :( I was asked by a pleasant chap on the Stand if I was a Farmer? Yes, I replied. Are you aware and familiar with SFI and the Options available? Yes, I replied Will you be signing up? No, I replied. Oh!! Why not, do you have any experience of CS or similar schemes...? Yes, I replied. Since 1995.... I do not consider SFI to be fit for purpose and will not be signing up unless it is altered substantially. Oh! What would you want to see? Better funding and simple options, I replied. I also explained my distrust of CS and NE behaviour, which he seemed aware of, and we parted on good terms.. I have shortened the actual conversation, but this gives a fair summation of it.... [/QUOTE]
