Defra announced yesterday that there will be a payment under the SFI for 'moorland and rough grazing'.
Three questions then:
1) What £/ha does it need to be set at in order for you to continue to manage such ground post BPS ? (don't just say zillions ).
2) Should the payment be dependent upon any specific criteria, or simply 'as you were'.
3) Should payments be weighted, with a higher £/Ha for the first xHa ( eg to support new entrants) or simply a flat rate ?
Defra have said they are announcing details including payment rates in November, so plenty of time to influence via the co-design process.
