There’s a UN thing our politicians have signed up to agenda 30 it has a lot of environmental stuff in it which is all farming related
Do the guys who reject loads of barley on a Friday worry over the weekend that the load is going back to farm Monday morning.Do machinery dealers discuss selling machinery on a night or do they have a life ?

Met in Dubai to tackle climate change sounds very modest of them and hypocritical30 by 30: a boost for nature recovery
Written by James Markwick Principal Adviser, Biodiversity Policy After a year of extreme weather events in which many climate records were broken, world leaders met in Dubai to discuss tackling climate change at COP28, with the hope of keeping alive …naturalengland.blog.gov.uk
I’d say that half of Madagascars rainforest that has been felled to increase palm oil production is hypocritical also.Met in Dubai to tackle climate change sounds very modest of them and hypocritical
I agree a lot of trust has been lost this year.Do the guys who reject loads of barley on a Friday worry over the weekend that the load is going back to farm Monday morning.
Lets hope it those rules stay in placeIt is still banned for foreign nationals to buy land in Ukraine. Land sales full stop only started in 2021 after two decades of no sales and is limited to 100hectares. When these rules are removed there will be the biggest land rush the world has ever seen.
Govt by arseholes. Simples.It does seem bizarre.
- Last week the government "approved" of putting more than 25% of land in wild bird seed mix
- This week, they don't.
- Last week a 100ha applicant could put 100ha in wild bird seed mix. This week he can't.
- Last week a 1000ha applicant could put 250ha into wild bird seed mix, today he still can.
- A 1000ha applicant who applied last week might have put 1000ha into wild bird seed mix. That's still fine.
- A 100ha applicant who applies to put 30ha into wild bird seed mix today is unable to do so.
Yes I’ve no cattle so not got that problem Do you believe it could be scrapped?Someone gave the example of tb testing
We have just come off three years of tb testing every 6 months that’s 12 days a year for 2 people just doing that then there’s all the pre movement testing in between that so roughly you could say that’s one month a year gone for one member of staff so in the last 3 years there’s been 3 months gone tb testing
No that wasn’t the discussion. It was what we have to do versus what others don’t doYes I’ve no cattle so not got that problem Do you believe it could be scrapped?
I’ve been TB testing our cattle for 52 years now as government after government feck about protecting badgers whilst claiming they have a grand plan to make England TB free, no other country in the world would put up with the shisters we have in Westminster.Yes I’ve no cattle so not got that problem Do you believe it could be scrapped?
Yes but you can claim IPM4 on the farm, SAM1 plus Sam2 on some all as well. They haven’t thought it through at all. And thats before we get the summer goodies of payments for direct drilling, variable rate fertilisers etc. just imagine that little lot stacked up. There were a few on here doing the sums a few weeks ago. Clearly never enough cash.So is it me, or has their hasty calculation s follows….
£862/ha for wild bird seed mix
X 25% = £215.15/ha
Or £87.21/ac.
So 25% of the area into such options equals the same payment as the old BPS income for the holding.
Albeit SFI involves spending money to achieve that payment.
It also involves relinquishing that 25% area from commercial cropping.
It also doesn’t take into account the areas of non-arable land which the BPS budget also paid out ~£80/ac for.
The LFA land is on the other side of the equation, funding it all.Yes but you can claim IPM4 on the farm, SAM1 plus Sam2 on some all as well. They haven’t thought it through at all.

Yes absolutely correct you can’t even recoup the bps on lfa while arable gets double the payment or 4x as aboveThe LFA land is on the other side of the equation, funding it all.
All costs time which equals money...J
what’s that paperwork cost you, a lot less than faffing about with one sheep. that bit of regulation is hardly the difference between profit and loss is it
Well I hope you exaggerate, I don’t keep 5 pieces of A4 for such a sheep, guess I’ll be shut down one day.All costs time which equals money...
And if they come inspecting 3 years down the line ( and long after that one sheep has ended up at the slaughterhouse ) and you do not have those 5 pieces of A4 for that one sheep all hell will break out and the next thing you will know is that they are fining you or worse stopping you from trading.
Had to listen to bollox on beavers first,Bit on here , not listened to it CBA
