[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 9230629, member: 699"] I told Janet at an early meeting that the people who would likely benefit the most from ELMS/SFI would be those arable farmers on Grade 3 land that was always marginal for cropping. That is of course what has happened and the rates offered are exceptionally good. In fact so good that even on better land crops are taken out in favour of Spare a thought for the poor old livestock farmer who has been offered very little from SFI and in fact the unintended consequence has worked against those of us who relied on fodder crops and grass keep on arable farms for sheep, which were not going to be available any more. Personally I couldn't give a toss about food security and I will not be worrying about it. That is for the politicians and economists to work out. Without BPS I need the outputs I produce to net me at least 40% more to give a reasonable income without being told what I can or cannot do!! So lets not start producing surplus food that drives down the price. [/QUOTE]
