[QUOTE="topground, post: 7844902, member: 556"] Posted 5 th November on the ‘Missing in action’ thread [USER=153068]@Janet Hughes Defra[/USER] For the last time; Where is the equality in dispute resolution between the two parties to the contract? If I disagree with the views of one of your inspectors who has the final say? Is there any mechanism for arbitration and who bears the cost? Awaiting with interest the figures showing how many of the remaining 937 have decided not to touch the SFI pilot even with a very long pole. As with much of what the civil service does the process is more important than the product. This should perhaps be the subject of a separate thread. What is the product in the case of SFI ? How will the success of the scheme be measured? What is the public good that is being delivered and how will that be quantified? As I read the scheme from the perspective of an all grass livestock farm there there are many random standards but for what purpose? What are the outcomes from maintaining average sward height? As I read it these standards, irrespective of what the rewards for adhering to them are appear to be the product of academia. There is nothing that I have seen that sets out that if we as farmers adhere to x standard then Y will be a measurable outcome. If there is a measurable outcome then it matters not how the farmer achieves it provided it can be delivered and measured. If the outcomes were clear and measurable then I as a livestock farmer could be confident when an inspector arrives that we are both measuring the same things to the same standard. In conclusion [USER=153068]@Janet Hughes Defra[/USER] What is the product of SFI? What are the measurable outcomes? [/QUOTE]
