That’s why you work it out with tools available to us now to see if it’s worth doing. It’s just a due dilligence and standard for any big decsion.
I’m not going to get drawn into a debate about this. I respect your view but I’m not interested in going round in circles anymore
Sure, not looking to go round in circles, just wanting to drive the point home for the policy makers on here.

Talk about kettle calling the pot black!
I’m absolutely sure that Janet knows exactly who is trying to influence policy makers with misnomers about the environmental benefits of DD, such as yourself.
Carry on and keep digging that whole (which is also bad for the environment btw).
But, what are you going to tell the farmers in the future who went bust, who were put off from adopting a system that could have kept them solvent by the likes of you?
Sigh. You can call me a Luddite, stupid and all the other insults you have thrown at me, that is your prerogative. However, please don't accuse me of saying things I have not said; not once on here have I questioned or criticized DD.
Opportunity to input to ELMS at the ORFC on Thursday.

What Progress On Environmental Land Management Schemes And Wider Farm Policy?
The Church
9:00 AM-10:30 AM
DescriptionHear from Defra, farmers and sector experts then make your own assessment of current ELM design and early roll-out in workshop format exploring four topics: i. Assess the overall design, clarity and direction of travel for Environmental Land Management and identify priority areas that need addressing and how ELM supports a whole farm systems approach; ii. Hear key learnings from those involved in tests and trials and pilots; iii. Assess the early SFI pros and cons - discuss forms of improvement; and iv. Look ahead to the other ELM components - Local Nature Recovery (LNR) design and trials - what should feature and what should be paid for? Workshop responses will be collated and fed back to Defra.

If you like tractor driving etc correct, but if you diversify other bits of your farming business and don't want the hassle of growing cereals and / or owning the relevant kit it may suit? Like everything, horses for courses. That's my take anyway.

WE were inspected 3 years back, all was correct (ie we put in slightly extra ab9 etc, 'just in case') but the new regime is more flexible, you get time to correct genuine errors, it's not just straight to the maximum fine, as was previously the case.

Lots of this going on, equally lots too terrified to look into it for what they may find!!
Again, I agree totally with you.
But it is down to individual choice. I have effectively stopped farming certain areas and altered different aspects of the farmland useage at times, and taken the Govt shilling, as I felt it was the most appropriate choice..... at that time. I have left land "fallow" more than once and been happy with the area payment, as cropping would have been unviable for one reason or another.
All this change and moves, and IMO, the farmer who does not react accordingly, can effect their income negatively.
You/we hope....
I have more or less decided that for my business, planting 35/40ha of Bumblebird mix/annum with a DD makes sense with the money coming from STW scheme, so if HMG wants to may me a few quid more, I am happy to take the dosh. I will be waiting with hand outstretched...
Lower overheads accordingly and sell the carbon too and you will be way better off than with bps!I have more or less decided that for my business, planting 35/40ha of Bumblebird mix/annum with a DD makes sense with the money coming from STW scheme, so if HMG wants to may me a few quid more, I am happy to take the dosh.

Are any of these variables known or quantifiable before taking a CS agreement?

Can you sell the carbon for bumblebird yet? I though there had to be a harvestable crop? Maybe that was just the person i spoke to mind
Pretty sure you can sell the sequestration
